TEDx speaker Dr. Stephen Klasko: The future of medicine and Jefferson 3.0

Posted on by

TEDxPhiladelphia runs Friday at Temple University in front of a sold-out crowd. The theme is Philadelphia as the New Workshop of the World. This is one of several Q&As with scheduled speakers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Visionary, ambitious, and disruptor are just of few of the words that have been used to describe Dr. Stephen Klasko, the recently appointed president and CEO of Thomas Jefferson University and TJU Health System. But the list of adjectives would be incomplete without also including plainspoken,and even entertaining, both rare epithets for a hospital administrator.

A native of the Philadelphia-region, he previously served as the dean of the University of South Florida medical school where, during his nine-year tenure, he delivered on a controversial plan to turn that institution into a regional powerhouse. Before running USF Health, he was dean of Drexel Universitys College of Medicine.

Klasko has blazed a distinctive path through the realm of healthcare. He worked as a professional disc jockey before going to med school. He went into private practice, delivered 2,500 babies in Allentown, then got involved in academic medicine in a weird way, Klasko said. He had an epiphany provoked by hearing doctors, mostly men, talk about hysterectomies in ways women never would. That prompted him to get involved with the creation of new patient-friendly medical devices.

Later, in the 1990s, he had another epiphany after noticing how often doctors complained about how difficult it was to practice the business of medicine.

We had all these smart people whining, Klasko said. I thought if I can deliver a 9-pound baby through a small hole, I think I can figure this out.

So he enrolled at Wharton, earned his MBA, and along the way investigated what makes doctors different when it comes to adapting to change. Said Klasko: It led to some interesting theories.

Medicine Hat murder accused shot by police identified

Posted on by

The man who was shot and killed by Medicine Hat police after pointing a firearm at an officer has been identified as Christopher Arkell.

Arkell, 50, is considered a person of interest in the death of Chester Hunchak, 67, whose body was discovered on a rural property just outside Medicine Hat where the fatal shooting took place Saturday afternoon.

Hunchak, who operated a second-hand-vehicle dealership in Medicine Hat, went missing Friday after accompanying a prospective customer on a test drive. His girlfriend reported the disappearance to Medicine Hat police that evening.

The investigation led a police officer to Hunchaks black Cadillac Escalade, spotted on a rural property near Range Road 60 where Arkell lived.

Arkell allegedly came out of the home and pointed a firearm at the officer, who retreated to his vehicle.

RCMP and Medicine Hat officers made contact with Arkell by telephone and he threatened to shoot officers.

Arkell was seen dragging Hunchaks body from behind the house into view, RCMP said, before taking a firearm and driving towards police.

He was shot and killed as he tried to leave.

Rob Storie worked alongside Arkell on the board of the Medicine Hat BMX group several years ago, and had stayed in touch with him.

It kind of blew me away when I found out, Storie said of Arkells involvement in the tragedy.
