And yes, "bad" ethics, though that should be redundant by now.

When Randy lost his mother, he was lost. His grandmother wanted to help him find his way but she was struggling. She was worried she'd have to place him in foster care, then she found Edgewood. THANK YOU Special thanks to Director Suzanne Baird and the amazing crew from Lieberman Productions to gave their time and talent to tell Randy's story. EDGEWOOD KINSHIP When crisis, substance abuse, mental illness, incarceration, economic hardship, divorce, domestic violence, or other challenges take parents from a child, other family members often step up to fill the gap. Edgewood Kinship Support Services Network (Edgewood Kinship) supports these courageous and caring grandparents, aunts, uncles, and siblings. Edgewood believes that children should first be supported in the homes of relatives and remain in their communities. Research shows it is better for the child, and it is also a less expensive alternative to traditional foster care. Yet, few resources exist for kinship caregivers. Edgewood Kinship was created in 1993 to fill the gaps in public social services available to relative caregivers. Then, it was the first program of its kind. Today, Edgewood s innovative program is a model for similar programs across the U.S. Relative caregivers often have special needs linked to age, poverty, poor health, social isolation, and inadequate access to information and services. Edgewood Kinship addresses the unique needs of each caregiver and child by providing referrals to basic services, support from others who ve been there, and a break from daily stresses. It s a formula that works for caregivers and their children. Support children like Randy by making a donation on Edgewood.org.

(November 17, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Boston - According to a report published in the Archives of Surgery, trauma patients without health insurance are at significantly increased risk of mortality. Researchers studied nearly 700,000 trauma cases, adjusting for factors such as comorbidities and the severity of the injury incurred. They found that trauma patients without insurance were at 89% increased risk of death. From Washington - The US Preventive Services Task Force is recommending that women do not need to undergo routine mammogram screening for breast cancer until the age of 50. This screening is to take place only every two years. Researchers found that: younger women are more likely to have false-positive diagnoses; over-diagnosis occurs 1 to 10% of the time because of screening; and breast self-examination does not appear to decrease risk of mortality. This research is published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. And finally, from Orlando - According to research presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association, phone calls from a nurse may help patients who are suffering depression after undergoing CABG. Researchers studied over 300 post-op CABG patients who were suffering from depression, randomizing some to traditional anti-depressive therapy and others to an intervention program in which a nurse called patients and talked to them about depression. Patients who received these phone calls saw their depression symptom scores improve more than those who received traditional therapy.
