Greetings!
Good morning! Please excuse the unrelated heading. It was a busy week at the hospital and I arrived at the newsletter store just after it closed. They didn't have to, but Constant Contact generously opened their doors and gave me three options that the day's customers hadn't chosen (Happy Passover, Arbor Day, and the one I selected). I thought she looked beautiful in this dress and she can't wear white after this weekend (Labor Day). This was the best fit.
So, I have some baaaaaad news...
It's Friday, probably a payday, you have to take the next three days off, cooler temperatures right around the corner, start of football season...so, so sad.
It is indeed Labor Day Weekend - what are we celebrating?
We are celebrating the contributions and achievements of the 155 million people in the workplace. Thank you.
Did you know that Labor Day started in 1872 (Toronto, CN) as a demonstration for rights?
The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, planned by the Central Labor Union. The Labor Day parade of about 10,000 workers took unpaid leave and marched from City Hall past Union Square uptown to 42nd street, and ended in Wendel's Elm Park at 92nd Street and 9th Avenue for a concert, speeches, and a picnic (Forbes.com).
1n 1894, the Congress made the first Tuesday of September a national holiday. Thank you Congress.
Speaking of labor, please check out our Breaking News to the right and some cool stuff below.

Our research staff found this to be an interesting article. In the office, we get a lot of question surrounding this topic. I think it's worth the read.

Our PhD student, Kim Field-Springer
|
I asked our friend Kim if she wouldn't mind introducing herself to us in the newsletter - this is her response.
My name is Kimberly Field-Springer and I'm a fourth year doctoral student at Ohio University in - Athens, Ohio. Over the past year and a half, I have been involved in an ethnographic study of the Just Walk/Walk with a Doc program in the Columbus, Ohio area. I have committed dozens of hours of observation and conducted many personal one-on-one interviews with healthcare providers and participants of the walk. My research questions stem from my interest about how we negotiate meanings in a health context while also attending to the ways these experiences come to inform being (our sense of self) and doing (our actions). I am currently in the process of writing my dissertation regarding my participation with the Just Walk/Walk with a Doc program and anticipate a defense date in February 2013.
My other interests include spending time with my family and friends, listening to music while enjoying wine, cheese, and chocolate, and of course WALKING. You can reach me anytime at kf837209@ohio.edu.
*We are grateful for the dedication Kim has shown to studying the walk. It will make our program stronger and better looking.

20 minutes a day - that's it.
That's all the exercise you need.
"But David, I love it. It's fun, it's easy. It makes me happy - am I allowed to do more than 20 minutes?"
Yes, you are my friend. Yes, you are.
Stay hungry, stay foolish. You got this.

Welcome Liz!

After nearly 4 months of screening 167 applications and conducting 24 final interviews we found her!
Please meet Eiizabeth Mace, a highly decorated OU graduate (Public Health).
We were wowed by her kindness, work ethic, and unstoppable drive to transform medicine.
The family just got a little bigger.
Hey Liz, you mind passing the turkey?
