Nursing provides free health screenings<\/b>
\nUNMC College of Nursing Lincoln Division students recently provided free health screenings at the Asian Community & Cultural Center’s Harvest Moon Festival. One of the missions of the center is to actively promote health and wellness to all immigrants and refugees. The festival crosses multiple Asian and other traditions that often coincide with the full moon at harvest time and celebrates cultural heritage with activities such as games, educational booths, decorating lanterns, writing wishes to hang on lanterns, traditional music and dance performances, multi-cultural cuisine and free health screenings.<\/p>\n

Parkinson’s conference today on campus<\/b>
\nThe 2017 Annual Multidisciplinary Approach to Parkinson’s Disease Care: a Conference for Medical Professionals and Providers takes place today at the Sorell Center. <\/p>\n

Attendees include 155 participants, 12 speakers from the comprehensive Parkinson’s disease center and UNMC’s movement disorders program and 14 exhibitors.<\/p>\n

This year is the 200th anniversary of Dr. James Parkinson’s original description of the disease in 1817. It also is the 20th anniversary of Nebraska’s Parkinson’s disease registry which was signed into law by Gov. Ben Nelson. Nebraska was the first state with such a registry and recently California and Utah also have established a Parkinson’s disease registry. <\/p>\n

November exercise to involve Omaha Fire and Rescue<\/b>
\nUNMC and the Public Health Laboratory at UNMC will host a tabletop exercise event Nov. 9 and Nov. 16 from 9 a.m. until about noon. Omaha Fire and Rescue units will participate in the exercise and have three rigs and a truck parked in front of the Durham Research Center II building.<\/p>\n

Crews also will tour the public health lab area. The exercise will simulate a lab technologist who faints in the Bio-Safety Level 3 Lab and later becomes injured and incapacitated. A second scenario will simulate a biological agent contaminating people working in the area.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
