Image Credit: Rutgers New Jersey Medical School The Homeless Outreach Medical Unit allows patients to maintain as much privacy as possible. BYLINE: Greg Bruno Newswise — To the casual observer, the white box truck parked along Frelinghuysen Avenue in Newark on a recent morning might have looked more like a Mister Softee ice cream van than a doctor’s office on wheels. But to Lavanya Kamineni, an advanced nurse practitioner at Rutgers Health, the vehicle represents something else entirely: dignity in health care. “Even though our clinic is literally on the street, we still want to maintain as much privacy as possible, so our patients can have a secure space to talk,” said Kamineni, the lead nurse aboard the city of Newark’s Homeless Outreach Medical Unit. “That's why our mobile unit is here.” Since September, Kamineni has been among a team of Rutgers New Jersey Medical School (NJMS) practitioners who, in...

By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor Chickens have forever had a place in our hearts and on our tables. Why is that? Well … why not? And so I’d like you to come with me back to the summer of 1970, ‘way up north of Fairbanks, Alaska, to what was once the thriving gold mining village of Chicken, Alaska. I was on my way, hitchhiking with a canoe, to paddle down a stretch of the Yukon River and to see the cabin where Jack London spent the winter once upon a time. Just as an aside here, hitchhiking with a canoe, or with a sled and 10 dogs, would make a lengthy how-to book all by themselves. It doesn’t sound easy, does it? It isn’t. So what I would do on these “adventures” of mine, (my boss, Larry Fanning, referred to them as Slim’s tin-cup trips because of all the... Read more →
