SUMMARY:ART HEALS: On view June 1-30
DESCRIPTION:ART HEALS\, an exhibition of paintings by Dr. James E. George\, MD\, JD. \nTo schedule a viewing\, please contact events@positiveexposure.org or 212-420-1931. \nDr. James E. George is a highly accomplished doctor and lawyer who experienced a brain and spinal cord injury after a fall in his home\, resulting in a coma and quadriplegia. He spent six months in rehab\, where he discovered great joy and healing in creating art. \n \n\n  \nJames E. George\, MD\, JD:  \nI have been involved in emergency medicine for nearly 50 years of my life\, but healthcare wasn’t my only interest. I studied medicine and law simultaneously and served as a captain in the U.S. Army Reserves Medical Corps. \nAfter receiving my undergraduate degree from Columbia University\, I simultaneously enrolled in the University of Louisville Medical School and Law School. Attending medical school during the day and law school at night\, I completed the programs in four years\, receiving both degrees – with honors – in 1970. \nOne of my proudest accomplishments in the field of emergency medicine was being an early adopter of emergency medicine as a specialty. I served on the Board of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP)\, and I am a past member of several professional organizations for physicians and attorneys. I authored several books on the topic as well. \nI am a founding member of TeamHealth\, an association of more than 20\,000 clinicians throughout the United States. I served as a division president for the TeamHealth East region until 2014 when I made the transition to the position of Strategic Advisor to the CEO of TeamHealth. I was also a founding member of George & Korin\, a healthcare law firm representing physicians\, nurses\, and other healthcare providers. \nIn 2016\, I suffered a brain and spinal cord injury after a fall in my home\, resulting in a coma and quadriplegia. I spent six months at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital in Philadelphia\, where I discovered great joy in art therapy and painting – ultimately contributing several pieces of my artwork now on display throughout the hospital.  \nFollowing my partial recovery and diminished use of my dominant right hand\, I received the Adam Taliaferro Foundation Award and accepted it by standing in public for the first time since my injury. Today\, I am living a full life\, enjoying my art and painting and spending time with family and friends. I hope you enjoy my paintings as well. I draw special pleasure from comments made by patients\, their families\, and others who enjoy my art. \nImage Description: On a black background is the following text\, in white: “POSITIVE EXPOSURE GALLERY ART HEALS James E. George\, MD\, JD. OPENING CELEBRATION Saturday\, June 1\, 2-5pm. 14 East 109th Street\, NYC. On View: June 1-30\, 2024. Contact: 212-420-1931.” At bottom left is the NYSCA logo. At center is an abstract painting with swirling golden yellow lines embellished with a few red lines and bright green dots on a dark grey background.

SUMMARY:CDC: US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Virtual Presentation
DESCRIPTION:US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) \nThis year\, as we recognize the 33rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)\, CDC celebrates the significant advances the public health community has made to reduce health disparities and improve inclusion for the disability community. However\, there is still much work to do to ensure people with disabilities can access the same health care as people without disabilities and achieve positive health outcomes. \n\nCDC and Disability and Health\nEspañol (Spanish)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been involved in disability and health activities since 1988. CDC’s mission is to promote the health and full participation in society by people with disabilities across the lifespan. \nMonitoring the Health of People With and Without Disabilities\nCDC monitors the health of people with and without disabilities to identify how health issues affect people in different ways and why some people are at higher risk for certain diseases and conditions. Studies have shown that people with disabilities are more likely to have poorer overall health\, less access to adequate health care\, and increased risk for preventable health problems. These data are important to help identify barriers to achieving good health\, and to design prevention and health promotion programs aimed at reducing health disparities and improving the health of people with disabilities. \nPromoting Public Health\nCDC supports work that improves overall health and quality of life for people with disabilities. It supports the inclusion of people with disabilities in public health programs that prevent disease and promote healthy behaviors and safety\, while working to eliminate barriers to health care and improve access to routine preventive services.
