It also serves as an inspirational reminder of the exciting possibilities and priorities that lie ahead for us all. PROGRESS 7 STRENGTH 8 A valued partnership Harris Health System is extremely fortunate to have built a strong partnership with Houston’s renowned Baylor College of Medicine and McGovern Medical School at UTHealth. Along with their highly skilled physicians and researchers, Harris Health stays abreast of the latest technology and medical advances as we proudly train the next generation of healthcare providers. As a result, Harris Health patients receive a level of care that is second to none. 9 Our patients We’re here for the health of the residents of Harris County. Everything we do, every decision we make, must have their well-being at heart. It really is that simple. And yet, given the enormity of that responsibility, we must be resourceful, innovative and thoughtful in our efforts to provide the safest, highest quality healthcare for so many in need. Here are just a few of the ways we’re achieving our goals on behalf of those who entrust us with their lives. PRIORITIES 10 Home-based peritoneal dialysis program By providing training and supplies for patients to use in their own homes, Harris Health offers life-saving dialysis treatment to many more people than our facilities can accommodate. Even better, those enrolled are seeing excellent results. Hospice care through our Community Health Choice HMO network Now we can offer care in a more comfortable, appropriate environment for those in their final stage of life while freeing up needed hospital beds for other patients needing acute care. Hospital room modernizations With the conversion of all four-bed patient wards completed by year’s end, Ben Taub and Lyndon B. Johnson will offer semi-private and private hospital rooms, exclusively. I owe Dr. Perez and Harris Health my life. Medical home care coordination “ Before this program, I was so sick and ” As one of the nation’s first to embrace the concept of integrated care, Harris Health System tormented, I didn’t want to live. continues to lead the way in offering a lifetime of coordinated care through our network of community-based preventive, specialty and acute care facilities. Javier Muñoz Recent peritoneal dialysis program participant whose life House Call Service has been transformed within months of in-home treatment Harris Health’s House Call Service has made outstanding progress in fiscal year 2018. We now have 25 doctors and nurse practitioners caring for 1,000+ patients, providing primary, geriatric and palliative care to homebound patients, preventing unnecessary illness and ER visits. HEMODIALYSIS VS. PERITONEAL DIALYSIS Zero harm to patients 4 HOURS A DAY 30 MINUTES A DAY Enlisting the ideas and collaboration of our leaders and staff, Harris Health is committed 3 DAYS A WEEK 3 TIMES A DAY to consistently improving the quality of our patient care, with the ultimate goal WAITING TIME of reducing patient harm to zero. NO WAITING TIMES Times are approximate. TRAVEL TIME NO TRAVEL TIME 11 Giving a WWII veteran his life back, and his family, peace of mind Old-fashioned house calls make a life-saving comeback By the time Leon Bernsen Sr. learned of Harris Health’s House Call Service, he’d been in and out of hospitals in Corpus Christi with an infection he couldn’t shake. “They kept releasing him before he was well,” says his daughter, Dianna Bernsen who, living in Houston, became terribly frustrated by the treatment he was receiving. “Then, he’d go to a rehabilitation center and he’d get re-infected,” she explained. The ordeal was exhausting for Leon. The third time around, Dianna’s husband arranged for his father-in-law to be transported to Houston by ambulance. After successful treatment at a local hospital, Leon transferred to Braeswood Personal Care, an assisted living home where he enjoys a safe environment near his family. Leon’s luck continues From there, Susan Di Filippo, the home’s owner, referred them to Harris Health’s House Call Service. She helped set him up with Anita Major, MD, who visits Leon personally once a month and coordinates a full course of care for him and other homebound patients without them having to travel. To Dianna, the House Call Service is not only easier, safer and healthier for her father, she believes it saved his life. Since Dr. Major regulated his wildly fluctuating blood pressure, Leon has regained his strength and is happy again. He celebrated his birthday in June, and while he struggles at times Dr. Anita Major visits Leon Bernsen Sr. with his short-term memory, as his daughter says, playfully, at home regularly “At 92 years old, he’s entitled.” 12 F Y All our best for those who need us most It’s such a wonderful program; 2 0 1 8 I can’t speak highly enough of it.

They include physicians and researchers, of course, but also thousands of exceptional nurses, technicians, caregivers and support staff, often unsung heroes who keep the wheels of progress spinning and patient satisfaction high.

  • Medical School
    Medical School Texas A&M Professional School Advising can advise you realistically on whether you are a competitive applicant for admission to medical school, however only you can decide if medical school is truly what you want to do. One way to explore your interest is to gain exposure by volunteering and shadowing in the different healthcare professions we advise for. You can also observe or shadow a physician and talk to professionals in the different fields of healthcare. Another way is to read information about professional schools and medicine as a career and to join one of the campus pre-health organizations. What type of major looks best? Many applicants believe that medical schools want science majors or that certain programs prefer liberal arts majors. In actuality medical schools have no preference in what major you choose as long as you do well and complete the pre-requisite requirements. Texas A&M does not have a pre-medical academic track which is why we suggest that you choose a major that leads to what you would select as an alternative career. The reason for this line of logic is that you generally do better in a major you are truly passionate and interested in and in return is another great way to determine whether medicine is the right choice. Plus an alternative career provides good insurance if you should happen to change direction or postpone entry. Texas A&M University offers extensive and exciting majors to choose from in eleven diverse colleges. If your chosen major does not include the prerequisite courses in its curriculum, you must complete the required courses mentioned below either as science credit hours or elective credit hours.

  • Holocaust Archaeology: Archaeological Approaches to Landscapes of Nazi Genocide and Persecution
    HOLOCAUST ARCHAEOLOGY: ARCHAEOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO LANDSCAPES OF NAZI GENOCIDE AND PERSECUTION BY CAROLINE STURDY COLLS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The landscapes and material remains of the Holocaust survive in various forms as physical reminders of the suffering and persecution of this period in European history. However, whilst clearly defined historical narratives exist, many of the archaeological remnants of these sites remain ill-defined, unrecorded and even, in some cases, unlocated. Such a situation has arisen as a result of a number of political, social, ethical and religious factors which, coupled with the scale of the crimes, has often inhibited systematic search. This thesis will outline how a non- invasive archaeological methodology has been implemented at two case study sites, with such issues at its core, thus allowing them to be addressed in terms of their scientific and historical value, whilst acknowledging their commemorative and religious significance.
