Phone medical aps: Why?
Saturday, June 15, 2013 - 11:22am

It’s amazing how quickly your Iphone can fill up with aps. But working in healthcare, what are the useful ones – and what ones do you actually use?

I have about 40 aps on my phone. I know that’s small potatoes. And most are pretty vanilla – FaceBook, Twitter, NPR, various sports, news and weather sites, Pandora and a couple of flashlight aps. But only four are health related – and only one (California Healthline, an ap from the California HealthCare Foundation) that I’ve actually use.

Rich history through the eyes of pioneering physicians

How lucky we were at Community Medical Foundation recently!  Katie Zenovich, Executive Director, and I  hosted a luncheon at our office for very special guests who helped mold Community Regional Medical Center into the world-class hospital it is today. Many of you may remember them and the compassionate work they did for so many years – Eugene Lowe, M.D., J. Malcolm Masten, M.D., “Sam” Sathaporn Vathayanon, M.D., Joseph Woo Jr, M.D., Burton James, M.D.

I Wish I Had a Nickel For Every Time My Husband Has a "Patent" Idea...

...Remember the sitcom Home Improvement? I often refer to my husband as "Tim, the Toolman Taylor"...he loves to construct things and usually likes to create them to the extreme. He also takes pride in doing it himself versus buying something or paying someone to do it.

Transplant hope for one of our own

Isn’t it nice to work with genuinely “good” people?  People who make you feel comfortable, motivate you, and can teach you by example?  I must share that I have had the pleasure of working with such an exceptional person and I would like to recognize and thank him for his dedication and hard work- especially considering his personal health challenges.  This person is Todd Whorton, one of Community’s dedicated employees of 24 years and leader of the Dialysis Services in all three of Community Medical Center’s facilities.
