1. I’ve received many questions about the 1500+ enhanced trauma first aid kits for Ukraine. What do they look like? How big? What’s in them? So, I thought you might appreciate a 2 1/2 minute video explanation. Here’s the link to view: https://youtu.be/IxHwL0qDB2Y

There are still five more items to be added to kits upon arrival, but it’s quite amazing how small they are but packed with crucial items. The other items that will be added are: Celox/hemostatic gauze, trauma shears, 3way valve IV tubing, tegaderm bandages, hygiene chest seals, hypertonic NACL, more gauze/bandages and chlorexidine wipes.

Each kit can assist with multiple seriously wounded persons.

I extend a special thank you to all the Mission of Hope volunteers who showed up over three days as well as to Devi Momot and the Twinstate team, local community volunteers, and a US special ops wounded veteran, Nicholas, who guided the process!

This is an amazing effort by many.

2. I received notification this morning that we will be receiving a donation of $3500 for our Ukraine project with the Sisters Servants of Immaculate Mary who are providing care for orphans and displaced victims of this war. Debbie Egan, one of our Dominican Associates, is the Principal of St John the Apostle School in Clark, NJ. All students in PreK through 8 competed in a Penny Challenge to raise the money. It was a week-long event during Spirit Week. What an awesome effort by Debbie, her staff and students. Thanks so much, Debbie.

Let us live in Hope and pray for peace.

Graduates prepared for rewarding health care career, earn associates degree

PLATTSBURGH, NY (7/11/2022) – The University of Vermont Health Network – Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (CVPH) School of Radiologic Technology awarded diplomas to five students on June 30 at its 56^th Commencement Exercises, which returned to the hospital auditoriums for the first time since the pandemic.

The graduates include Caiden Goodman of Morrisonville, Hannah Gordon of Mooers, Austin Kirby of Keeseville, Alissa McGovern of Burke and Brooke West of Champlain.

“I consider it a privilege to participate in the development of the next generation of radiographers,” Director of the CVPH School of Radiologic Technology Betsy Lombard, MA, RT (R)(M) offered. “Our program is rigorous and requires commitment and excellent time management skills. To see things “click” as our students assimilate new knowledge and then put it into practice is very rewarding. We are very proud of our graduates!”

All five graduates have jobs they are excited to begin, including three who are staying at CVPH: Gordon, Kirby and West. Goodman is relocating to North Dakota for his job, and McGovern is heading to Potsdam to start her new career in radiology.

Since 1965, the CVPH School of Radiologic Technology has trained radiographers in delivering exceptional patient care. In addition to being prepared for a rewarding health care career, graduates also earn an associates’ degree from Empire State College in math, science, and technology. It is a 2 year program that combines class time and practical experience.

The CVPH School of Radiologic Technology is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology and approved by the New York State Department of Health to train radiographers eligible for a New York State license. For more information, call the school at (518) 562-7510 or go online to UVMHealth.org/CVPH.
