I appreciate the great attendance we had Tuesday for Chancellor Hemenway's appearance at my quarterly update. I enjoy these opportunities to talk with you directly and give you my perspective on KU Medical Center and its future. If you were unable to attend, videotapes of the speech can be checked out from the Instructional Resource Center in Orr-Major. A report of the speech is on Breaking News in Pulse and will be published in Wednesday's Topics. A values statement we can all embrace has been developed.
Excellence is our mission.
Also given out were upcoming opportunities for community participation. United Way campaign kicks off Oct 1 and runs through Oct. 15. It is an organization that year-round seeks in kind donations from corporations to rehab homes of low income and elderly residents. This year they have chosen the Armourdale neighborhood, of Kansas City, Kansas. Over 5,000 volunteers citywide are expected to work on 300 homes in that neighborhood.
