Last week we asked which of the eight schools at Loma Linda University passed the milestone of graduating its 500th student. The answer, as correctly identified by random winners Jerry Rivinius, Jordan Urban, and Maggie Luva, is the School of Pharmacy. Winners, please e-mail pr@llu.edu to claim your prize, which must be picked up within 60 days.
Jennifer Pak was the 500th graduate, and she is pictured above with Billy Hughes, PhD, dean, School of Pharmacy, and her husband, Daniel, the 501st graduate. Counting the rest of the class of 2014, total graduates from the School of Pharmacy now equal 520.
The anniversary of another milestone—this one a clinical procedure—took place June 29. The year was 1996, and Loma Linda University Medical Center’s first transplant of a certain type of tissue took place. What type of transplant was that?
E-mail the answer to pr@llu.edu by midnight Tuesday, July 8, for a chance to win.
Did you know?
Did you know that surveys of employee turnover across many disciplines at hospitals in the United States average about 11 percent? While turnover is a result of many causes (spouse moving to another city, worker wants to pursue further education, birth of a child, etc.), it can also be caused by dissatisfaction with the job or the employer. It's interesting to compare the national rate of 11 percent with Loma Linda University Health's average turnover in the past several years of 7 percent.
