Master plan beginning to form for Austin's medical school

For the past 18 years, UMC Brackenridge, a public hospital run by Central Health, has partnered with Seton Healthcare, a private company.

Now a master plan would deepen that partnership and bring on board the tax payer and the University of Texas. Wednesday was the second of three public meetings on the proposal.

The plan calls for the construction of a $250 million teaching hospital funded by Seton. Last week, UTs Board of Regents agreed to put up $334 million for a medical school.

"We are looking for sustainability, we know we can't continue to provide services like we are providing them in the way that we are providing them," Central Health President and CEO Patricia Young Brown said.

Isabel Rios with the League of United Latin American Citizens fears the change is coming too quickly.

"We do not need a massive overhaul. Our hospital needs to be kept in public hands in the hands of the community because we are taxpaying citizens," she said.

If the medical school is built, it would be the first UT medical school in Austin, expected to open in 2016.

The teaching hospital is slated to open in 2017.

Medical school misses out again

Posted on by

IT was a less than optimistic Vice Chancellor from Charles Sturt University when he made the trip to Canberra for Tuesday night's federal Budget.

Professor Andrew Vann was in the nation's capital hoping there would be some sort of funding for the university's push to establish a medical school out of the Bathurst campus.

However, his concerns the initiative wouldn't be on treasurer Wayne Swan's agenda was vindicated.

"Given the state of the Budget, I wasn't very optimistic given that any funding announcements would be coming our way on this occasion," Professor Vann said.

"We have been working with the government and are starting to think the health minister is starting to speak our language.

"But the way the polls are at the moment, we are also working closely with the Coalition to get bipartisan support and I really think they believe this (a shortage of rural doctors) is a problem that needs to be fixed."

Professor Vann said given a federal election is due in September and with such a short timeline, the university will be pressing hard to get a firm election announcement before the nation goes to the polls.

"Things are tight, but the university needs to know where it's headed," he said.

Liberty pushes Obamacare challenge

Posted on by

Liberty Universitys challenge to the health reform law will go back before the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., on Thursday, with the school focused on getting Obamacare back before the Supreme Court.

Libertys lawsuit is the most wide ranging of the outstanding legal challenges to the health law, hitting everything from contraceptive coverage to the employer mandate.

But Thursdays oral argument wont be Libertys first trip to the 4th Circuit over Obamacare. The same court ruled in 2011 that a tax law prevented it from hearing Libertys case, including its challenge to the individual mandate, until at least 2014. But after the Supreme Court upheld the mandate last year, it told the 4th Circuit to go back and hear Libertys other claims.

Libertys lawsuit now has several points: that the employer mandate violates the Commerce Clause; that the individual and employer mandates violate the First Amendments religious protections as well as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act; and that since the individual mandates penalty was ruled a tax by the Supreme Court, the bill should have started in the House not the Senate.

The aspect of Libertys case thats gotten the most attention from other plaintiffs may be its contraceptives claim. The school says that the law is violating its right to religious freedom by requiring it to cover, through its employee health plans, birth control and drugs that it says can cause abortions. More than 50 other lawsuits have been filed throughout the country, challenging the same provision. And the issue is likely to reach the Supreme Court.

But Judy Waxman, vice president for health and reproductive rights at the National Womens Law Center, says Libertys case isnt the one that will get there.

Theyll throw spaghetti at the wall, but this is not going to be decided until the regulations come out [this summer] and they become subject to this, Waxman said.

Plus, the Obama administrations lawyers say that Liberty didnt file that charge back in 2010 the contraceptive coverage rules hadnt come out yet so it cant add that to its lawsuit now.

Liberty says, though, that the regulation is merely an example of its original claim that the law would somehow skirt the long-standing prohibition on using federal funds for abortion.

Chattanooga’s Newly Renovated Liberty Tower Dedicated with Rare Gift of Statue of Liberty Replica from Builder and …

Posted on by

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The newest addition to Chattanoogas growing skyline, Liberty Tower, was unveiled Thursday, May 16 with a dedication celebration that included city, state and international VIPs and the unveiling of a rare 11-foot Statue of Liberty replica.

The statue is owned by the Berry Family and has been loaned to Liberty Tower for display in the lobby by Jim Berry, president and managing partner of Liberty Tower LLC. Chattanoogas Statue of Liberty replica will become a landmark and lasting memorial. Cast from the original 1878 mold, by decree of the French government, only 12 such statues can be made and this Lady Liberty is the third of four that currently exist.

We are honored to have the opportunity to share a unique replica of this incredible national monument with our community, said Berry. This Statue is an ideal cornerstone for our new building and a dramatic example to businesses nationally and globally that Chattanooga is the community for your business to call home.

Chattanoogas own Lady Liberty will also welcome visitors to the newly renovated and energy efficient Liberty Tower. Located at 605 Chestnut Street, Liberty Tower features 192,000-plus square feet of Class A office space. The structure has also been completely remodeled as a green office building and is pursuing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

In addition to being energy efficient, Liberty Tower will also make a statement in the nighttime sky with its innovative light emitting diode (LED) system that is energy efficient and customizable. The LED green lighting can display a rainbow of colors and even animated sequences to be used on special occasions.

Another key renovation for downtown is an elevated and enclosed pedway spanning Sixth Street that connects Liberty Tower with Liberty Garage.

Key tenants include Chambliss, Bahner & Stophel, law firm and the accounting firm of Lattimore Black Morgan & Cain occupying more than 5 floors of the 192,000+-square-foot building.

All tenants of Liberty Tower receive complimentary memberships to The Walden Club for private dining functions. In the future Liberty Park will be developed just across Chestnut Street allowing building occupants to enjoy green space within the urban environment.

Our goal is to have Liberty Tower set the standard for renovated, energy efficient office space in Chattanooga, said Berry. With our own Statue of Liberty as a landmark and the amenities and features that matter to business, we believe this building can show the world what a great place to do business Chattanooga is today.
