HOSPITAL SERVICES - Contributing
Hospital Service Unit Rajah Shrine Chapter Ends the 2016 year on a season high.
Under the leadership of Ill. Sir Lawrence S. Bortz, III, 60 hours of
cable television programs from Shriners Hospital
in the City of Brotherly Love have been seen in the
greater Lehigh Valley area, Philadelphia, Boston,
New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C.. No
other Shrine Chapter can make that statement.
Thanks to RCN TV Cable Network, Station
Manager Rick Geho, Bob Gery, producer of
Community Spotlight, and Dan Mowdy, the host
of Community Spotlight, for their support. In fact,
a contribution was made to Shriners Hospital in
tribute to Bob Gery, who recently passed away at
the age of 62. He was a good friend to Rajah Shrine
Chapter and Shriners Hospital for Children.
Thanks to Administrator Ed Myers, FACHE,
for his program outlining how Shriners help albino
children from Africa who lost their arms and legs
through illegal operations by witch doctors who then sold the body parts on the open market. Albino children are now
receiving quality care at Shriners Hospital in Philadelphia.
Another program featured William Roman, R.T., C.T., radiology manager, who oversees the new EOS 2D/3D imaging
system. William explained that this system captures 3D whole body images of a standing or sitting patient in a single
scan with outstanding imaging quality while using the lowest dose of radiation possible. The radiation dose from EOS is
an eighth of a normal image. The two low-dose EOS images can then be processed on the sterEOS station, which allows
3-D bone modeling of the patient in a weight-bearing position.
EOS Imaging System
Miss Joy Young, Assistant Public Relations at Shriners Hospital, presented an over-all
view of good things occurring at Shriners Hospital.
Appearing on RCN on December 15th, Michele T. Cimino, MSN, RN, Clinical Education
Coordinator, along with Janet Cairone, RN, BSN, Nurse Manager Surgical Services, will
present an overall view of our education system in conjunction with our advanced surgical
procedures in any one of our three operating rooms at Shriners Hospital.
Congratulations to Paul Shaw, who is in his ninth year as ambassador to Shriners
Hospital, for his dedication in helping children and raising money with a handful of
volunteers and bringing our vintage hospital service float up to date, which was the lead
float in the MASA Parade.
Your attendance at the next meeting would be appreciated by Paul. Be proud of
your float. Our journey continues
