San Joaquin prison facility humming along

Posted on by

STOCKTON -- Not only is construction of a huge health care facility for prison inmates on the outskirts of Stockton ahead of schedule, but its building is pumping millions of dollars into the local economy.

That was the update on the construction of the California Health Care Facility delivered this week to the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors at its regular meeting.

County officials heard from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation about the physical transformation, learning how the 1.2 million-square-foot facility went from graded earth to dozens of new buildings in a little more than a year.

The update included news on developments from a legal settlement with the state to make sure the project turned out to be a net gain for the county and its residents. The county was one of the organizations to sue the state before the settlement was reached.

Two years later, the results look good to county officials.

"All the steps taken by the county with the city of Stockton have proven to be fruitful," board chairman Steve Bestolarides said. "And the (state) has honored its commitments."

The estimated $900 million project to build the 1,722-bed medical and mental health facility is on track to receive its first inmate in July and be fully up and running by the end of 2013, project manager Andrew Freeman said.

It would have about 2,800 full-time employees. But before that, the construction will generate about $766 million in economic benefit and employ some 5,500 workers, Freeman said, adding, "That's a pretty substantial impact."

Progress also is happening at the neighboring DeWitt Nelson Correctional Annex, which is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2014, he said. The $113 million construction project would add 1,133 more inmate beds.

Together, the two projects consist of 82 buildings with 1.49 million square feet of medical, housing and administrative space.

Thomas Kostigen's Impact Investor: Health-care sector faces its next frontier

Posted on by

By Thomas Kostigen

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) Health care in developing countries may become the worlds fastest-growing and biggest industry and the most in need of professionals and providers.

Talk about an industry that has both social and financial impact: This is it.

For the first time, Chinese regulators will allow overseas investors to settle trades in U.S. dollars for oil commodities, while domestic traders would settle in yuan. The WSJ's Gurdeep Singh explains how this will give China a greater influence in global oil pricing.

A population explosion is expected to put 30% more people on the planet by 2050, with most of that growth taking place in the developing world.

There will be a massive need to care for all these people. Moreover, as the developing world matures economically because of its natural-resource wealth and cheap labor force, among other things, healthier diets will take hold. Infant-mortality rates will decrease and life expectancy will rise.

All these trends point toward a dramatic need for medical care and all that goes with it: education; access; administration, and insurance.

The health-care divide between developed and emerging nations is stark. According to the New York Academy of Sciences, there are statistically only nine hospital beds per 10,000 people in low-income countries; less than one-half-of-one doctor per 1,000 people; and not even a full nurse for those 1,000 people.

Compare that to 57 hospital beds per 10,000 people in high-income countries, with more than two-and-a-half doctors and more than eight nurses for per 1,000 people.

While we debate the merits of public health-care here in the U.S., and as many other countries around the world provide government health-care, private insurance shouldnt be written off.

Denying health care for refugees gives Canada a black eye

Posted on by

The stories are heartbreaking and decidedly un-Canadian if you believe in our countrys tradition of giving medical care to refugees.

Ontario Health Minister Deb Matthews has already criticized Immigration Canada for new rules that deny refugees medical care. And last week, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall (no softie on social issues) slammed the federal government for refusing to pay for chemotherapy for a Middle East refugee.

Now, the Stars Nicholas Keung has uncovered another distressing, but different, example of Immigration Canadas hard-line tactics, a decision that could deny a Toronto woman with renal failure a second chance at life. Her relative in El Salvador is offering a kidney and would travel here for the surgery but the federal department wont issue a visa, claiming he might refuse to leave.

Decisions like these are a black eye for a country built by immigrants, many of whom came as refugees, got a hand up and thrived. As Wall said last week, coverage for refugee health is common sense: This is the kind of country we are. You cover it.

While the kidney-donor refusal may be a sign of vigilance bordering on paranoia in the immigration department, the governments refusal to pay refugees' health care is the fallout from new rules that took effect on June 30.

The main goal of the Refugee Protection Act was legitimate: deny entry to bogus applicants. But rolled into the bill were punitive new rules that refused health treatment for many.

Its easy enough to alter these rules, although the federal Conservatives have never shown a propensity to admit to mistakes. Still, if Immigration Minister Jason Kenney removed limits on health care, he could display a humane touch.

Of course, the minister will no doubt rely on the conscience of provincial leaders to pick up emergency health-care costs. As Matthews warned him last summer, refugees will end up seeking help in local emergency rooms, many sicker than they should have been.

One hospital system, Torontos University Health Network, already pays $1.3 million a year in costs to care for refugees and will no longer be able to claim most of that.

The Interim Federal Health Program paid for the care of 128,000 refugees last year, at a cost of $84 million. That is 0.04 per cent of Canadas overall health bill surely not too much to care for people who are fleeing desperate lives of torture, violence or rape.

Health care workers union protests outside Walmart in Milford (video)

Posted on by

By Susan Misur, Register Staff smisur@nhregister.com / Twitter: @nhrsusan

This is what the health care workers are passing out Friday at the Walmart in Milford. Susan Misur/Register

MILFORD Friday might have kicked off the holiday shopping season, but the animated group that gathered in front of Walmart to share its voice wasnt there to sing Christmas carols.

About 25 union workers from a local health care facility staged a brief protest of the retailer and its employees wages, benefits and ever-expanding Black Friday shopping schedule. The West River Healthcare Center employees, who are members of the New England Healthcare Workers Union, Local 1199, have been on strike since summer and said they wanted to support Walmart workers by picketing.

Other union members protested at store locations in Hartford, Danbury and Stamford, and additional supporters and some Walmart workers held similar events across the country. Many protests and walk-outs were held last week at stores, but several were planned for Black Friday, typically viewed as on of the busiest shopping day of the year.

Walmart systematically impacts communities by lowering wages and by providing poor jobs to communities, union organizer Jesse Martin said outside the 1365 Boston Post Road store. As union workers who literally work in this town and are fighting for good wages and to take care of our families, a company like Walmart undermines that struggle.

Members handed out fliers concerning the stores employment practices inside to customers and in the parking lot before marching outside in a circle directly in front of Walmarts entrance. They chanted Down to Walmart, and Down to that boss, for about 15 minutes before two police officers told them to move to a public sidewalk in front of the shopping complex because the store area is private property.

Union workers looked to give fliers to customers, rather than Walmart employees, and many patrons could be seen reading the hand-outs.

You dont want somebody whos been drinking the Kool-Aid. Just be cordial, say happy holidays, Phillip Bradeen told Julia Attruia as they finished distributing the memos. Were not anarchists. We just want to give out some information.

Khalil's Picks (23 November 2012)

After that long turkey-induced sleep, heres to some good science. This weeks picks includes an emotional piece about a dad, synthetic biology as the sci-fi extension of genetic engineering, astronomy in China and much much more (including one Thanksgiving-themed post).

Dig in!

Science is more than lab work and journals but we tend to forget this sometimes. Pete Etchells in his SciLogs.com blog, Counterbalanced, pens a wonderful wonderful piece about his father, who has been his inspiration to pursue a career in research. Petes blog post is moving and is a must-read because it showcases another aspect of science: humanity.

Why I hate neurons So why did my Dad also inspire an irrational hatred of neurons? Because fourteen years ago today, on a freezing, dark, miserable day in November, my Dad died, two years after being diagnosed with a form of Motor Neuron Disease (MND) called Progressive Muscular Atrophy.

In BuzzFeed this week, Allison McCann has a delightful feature about synthetic biology which she describes as the science fiction-like branch of genetic engineering. Allison goes on to give a good account of the field and the challenges synthetic biologists face as they go all mad scientists on us.

How To Code A Life Synthetic biology the science fiction-like branch of genetic engineering hopes to automate programs used to engineer organisms that could produce better drugs and cleaner fuels. But can open-source science really succeed? Synthetic biologists write code. But when their code is compiled, it doesnt become an app. It becomes, or at least changes, life.

Nadia Drake explores Chinas ambitions in the field of astronomy while on a visit to the country. Writing in the December issue of Science News, Nadia dwells a little bit into Chinas impressive beginnings in the field and how it suddenly all went bad. Now, China is playing catch up but with proper backing, it looks set to push the frontiers of astronomy even further relatively soon. An exceptional #longread.

Onward and Skyward High in Beijings sky, the August sun glows red by midafternoon, a star struggling to illuminate Chinas crowded capital from above the dust and pollution. Im in the city along with 3,200 astronomers for the International Astronomical Unions two-week General Assembly meeting. Its the first time the IAU has convened the assembly in China, an important milestone for a country attempting to reclaim its former astronomical significance.

Jon Tennant (interviewed this week on this blog), blogging in his European Geosciences Union blog, Green Tea and Velociraptor, has an excellent post about geoscience in the news. Jon dissects a recent paper which not only points out the negatives of the medias portrayal of geoscience but also suggests future actions that can be both journalists and researchers.
