SubVERSive Showcase
The SubVERSive Poetry Program culminated with a showing of all six films at the Magic Lantern Theatre. Teens worked with professional poets to write spoken word poems about prejudice and create videos that reflected those poems. The films were powerful and represented each teen group with its own unique voice. All of the films included a similar message; this is who we are. Thank you to the funders, The Inland Northwest Community Foundation. You can view these short films at www.tincan.org/tincanyouthmedia/project_subversive.htm.
INHS Hospitals Recognized as Nation's Most Wired
Twenty-one regional hospitals that utilize INHS' health information technology solutions earned the distinction of being among the most technologically-advanced hospitals in the country, according to results of the 2009 Most Wired Survey and Benchmarking Study released in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. Hospitals and Health Networks surveyed more than 1,300 hospitals to name the "100 Most Wired" hospitals in the annual survey, measuring the hospitals' use of information technologies for quality, customer service, public health and safety, business processes and workforce issues. Two hospitals, Kootenai Medical Center (KMC) in Coeur d'Alene, ID and Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center & Children's Hospital in Spokane, WA, received specific "most wired" recognition.
