~ An educational program
designed to bring to life the
history of African-American
people in the South through
the study and interpretation
ofartworksisavailable at the
Morris Museum of Art. Tar
geted to students in the third

quests for a student program

program several years ago.
Prior to their museum trip,
students are visited in their
classroom by a museum do

better view and treat coro
nary artery blockages that
could cause heart attacks or
other serious cardiovascular
damage with the GE Innova

diologists there to view hard
to-see blood vessels with ex
ceptional clarity under even
the most difficult conditions.
“This new technology en
ables faster procedures, re
quires lessradiat®on exposure
and gives us the ability to see
details, especially balloons and

Ray Johnson, M.D., a cardi

result is that better images

In an effort to help save
more lives that are lost as a
result of sudden cardiac ar
rest, the American Heart As
sociation will train thousands
of people in cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) through
out the southeast. Mass CPR
Training will take place in
Augustaon Saturday, Feb 23,
2002. Classes will be offered
at 9:00 a.m. 10:30 a.m. 12:30
g.m. and 2:00 p.m. Please call

diovascular disease is the
nation’s No. 1 killerand many
deaths-about 220,000 per year
occur suddenly and without
warning due to sudden car
diac arrest. A victim is likely
to die within minutes if CPR
and defibrillation do not oc
cur. CPR can add critical min
utes to a sudden cardiac ar
rest victim’s life by pumping
blood and oxygen to vital or
gans such as the heart, brain
and lungs. The signs of sud
den cardiac arrest include an
abrupt loss of consciousness,
collapse and the loss of nor
mal breathing. The majority
of all sudden cardiac arrests
occur at home (75-80 percent)
and only about 5 percent of
sudden cardiac arrest victims
survive. During Mass CPR
Training, instructors will train
participants using a new
American Heart Association
CPR/basic life support course
called “CPR for Family and
Friends.” The new course
lasts about one hour and is

Images from the GE Innova
200 C are viewed, networked
and archived electronicallyin
a totally filmless fashion.
Doctors also can “zoom in”
to look at important areas in
greater detail. The computer
can adjust the image for the
best clarity. That means phy
sicians are seeingmore of what
they need to see, without the
distortions from conventional
x-ray systems. Patients at
University can feel confident
that their x-ray images have
the excellent quality required
for physicians to make a con

a therapeutic intervention if
required.
“Thisisthefuture of cardiac

Johnson. “The medical sig

2000 is similar to the transi

Asked if the closing of local
department stores will leavea
bad taste in the mouths of
some of these biotech compa
nies, Young replied, “I don’t
think so. Because those were
business decisions madeby the
parent companies. Macy’s is
reorganizing ... so we have no
control over that.” :
He said those closings are
the result of the economic cli
mate of United States, and do
notreflect Augusta’s ability to
support the medical industry.
On a related note, a Kmart
representative said that two of
the four Kmarts in the area
will remain open.
