TEDDY BEAR
DRIVE
The American College of
Health Care Executives Student Chapter at Washington State University Spokane is
sponsoring a Teddy Bear Drive for Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery. Students in the
Health Policy and Administration Department are members of ACHE and have adopted
the Crisis Nursery as their appointed charity for the upcoming holiday
season.
Students of Washington State University Spokane and Eastern
Washington University Spokane are encouraged to donate new or lovingly used
Teddy Bears to children who visit the Crisis Nursery over the holiday season
(faculty and staff are invited to participate as well).
Vanessa Behan
Crisis Nursery is a safe, warm home where families can leave their children for
up to 3 days when there is no where else for them to turn in times of crisis or
needed respite. The children range in age from 6 months to 5 years.
The
Health Policy and Administration Department is a 2-year graduate program
dedicated to educating future leaders in the healthcare industry.
You
can make a donation to the Teddy Bear Drive in the lobby outside the CALS
Library at the Phase 1 Classroom Building beginning November 29 until December
14. Let’s make this a cuddly holiday for a few kids at Vanessa Behan. If you
have any questions you can contact Karen Dickson in the HPA
Department.

This week’s
department overview feature: Speech and Hearing Sciences
The Washington State University Department of Speech and
Hearing Sciences offers its graduate program in cooperation with Eastern
Washington University’s Department of Communication Disorders. The
cooperative program is named the University Programs in Communication Disorders
(UPCD).
The graduate professional education program prepares students to
meet the requirements for the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s
Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology.
Low student/faculty ratio ensures individual attention, close supervision, and
academic innovation.
Speech and Hearing Sciences trains students for one
of the fastest growing job markets and their programs are ranked among the top
graduate and professional programs in the nation by U.S. News and World
Report. Faculty are recognized for their work in many areas, including
auditory processing disorders, international rehabilitation development,
language development and disorders, and multicultural assessment and
intervention.
The Department’s Hearing and Speech Clinic provides
comprehensive evaluation and therapeutic services to children and adults
experiencing speech, language and hearing problems. Master’s students provide
clinical services under the direct supervision of nationally certified faculty.
A sliding-fee schedule is available. Faculty also supervise students providing
clinical services in many community settings, including area public schools,
hospitals, rehabilitation institutes, and skilled nursing facilities. Faculty
serve leadership roles in the Washington
Speech and Hearing Association and the Washington Board of Hearing and
Speech.

MEDIA COVERAGE
WSU
Spokane CityLab after school program, Blazing Chicken Ranch Lab, was
featured on KAYU-TV Fox 28 ten o’clock news Monday, Dec. 3. Keith
Orchard, CityLab camp instructor, was interviewed about the after school
program where Grant Elementary fifth and sixth graders volunteered to learn
about science by conducting experiments about why Farmer Gooseberry’s famous
racing chickens are dying. The students commit themselves to the lab this week,
Monday through Thursday from 3:15 to 5:00 pm, to investigate bacteria growth in
water and soil, measure Ph levels and discuss importance, study lead in the
environment and discuss protocols to find out which chicks are the fastest. This
coverage was generated by a press release and follow-up. Read more online:

Together, Can We
"Catalyze" Quality Child Care? Health Improvement Partnership's role is to
be the catalyst to make systemic change happen. They bring together a broad
array of community partners to imagine new solutions; and, often with new
dollars from outside the region, help them implement the solutions they devise.
Thanks to a grant from The Paul G. Allen Charitable Foundation, they are working
on catalyzing childcare in the region. Today, too many Spokane families--from
all backgrounds and income levels--struggle to find quality care for their
children. The solutions won't be easy and they must involve everyone--families,
business owners, childcare providers, community organizations, and policymakers.
Together we can help assure high-quality, accessible, and affordable childcare
for all our region's families. To help conceive systemic innovation in childcare
HIP is holding a brainstorming meeting to look at how childcare is currently
funded and how they can create imaginative strategies that work better. They are
especially looking for interested individuals from large and small businesses,
healthcare and financial management, and anyone who's interested in how Spokane
can be strengthened by improving childcare. To RSVP, or if you're interested but
can't make the meeting, contact Karen Seitz for more information and to be added
to the Spokane Regional Child Care Initiative mailing list. Call 509-444-3088
ext. 203, or e-mail karens@hipspokane.org.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 18, 1 to 3 p.m. at the Northeast
Community Center, 4001 N. Cook St., Spokane.
