    "How many times do you see it? One of the most powerful symbols in the world. no words, just one letter standing alone. what is it saying?

    Follow me. Follow me and I will take you to a place in this town, where it doesn't matter who you are, or where you've come from, or what you have in your pocket or what terrible indignity or hurt or misforture life has visited upon you... follow me and I will take you to where the very best people in this community will surround you and will do everything in their power for you in the name of curing and caring. That's the promise behind that sign. that's the promise we keep every day. for all Americans." - from AHA Hospital care video

    In our working environments where we are conditioned to just look for problems... in times when hospitals are portrayed as corporate America's evil cousin, sometimes it's necessary to take a step back and remember why hospitals are worth fighting for. Check out AHA's Hospitals Caring for Communities website.

    Download their inspiring 5 minute hospital care video (11Megs) to remember why hospitals are so important - it's worth the wait. 570 million times this year, someone will walk into one of our hospitals. Each time it's someone's mother, sister, brother, husband.

    Safety Tip

    Hospital facilities built today do not include asbestos, but many older buildings still have asbestos components in them. Steam pipes, boilers and furnace ducts were often insulated with an asbestos blanket or asbestos paper tape because of their fireproof and insulating properties. Resilient floor tiles were made from vinyl asbestos. Asbestos cement was employed in roofing, shingles and siding materials. The hazard of this carcinogen increases when the fibers become airborne, and untrained contractors can inadvertently increase risks by cutting, tearing, sawing, scraping, or sanding asbestos materials. Elevated asbestos levels can occur in hospitals where old materials are damaged or disturbed. It is best to leave undamaged asbestos material alone if it is not likely to be disturbed. Inhaling asbestos fibers is known to cause mesothelioma and other diseases. Be sure to use an experienced asbestos removal contractor when you need to get rid of old materials that might contain asbestos.
