CATHOLIC Medical Center - Mostly JEWISH Professional Staff - NO MENORAH?
First, I was born - Former St. Joseph Hospital, Houston, Texas 0416111318BW

I work for a Catholic Medical Center. In the lobby is a 12' Christmas tree, and a manger.

This year the Board, or whoever, decided not to put a Menorah up inside the lobby. It is outside, on Hospital campus, but deliberately not in the main waiting area.

IT IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW since the lobby of the Hospital is considered 'Private Property' and they can not be cited for disregarding the religious beliefs of 89% of the Jewish medical staff.

Would you complain, or just keep quiet. I think it is an abomination.


As a Jew I do not feel offended at all.
Hanukkah is a very minor holiday in Judaism and we just don't feel the need to worry about a public display. The ones who worry about Public displays are the Chabadnicks and most of them are not Doctors.

I don't see a problem, or rather a big enough issue to stir anything up.

Is it safe to walk from the metro to the VA Medical Center on Irving St. NW in Washington D.C.?
Chapel, St. Elizabeth Hospital, Baker City, Oregon

My wife just got a job offer from the main VA Center in Washington D.C. on Irving St. She'd work from about 8 AM to 4 PM. We prefer not to drive to work unless we have to. I was wondering if anyone knows how safe the neighborhood around there is. Can she walk to and from the nearest metro stations? (Looks like they are Georgia Av. Petworth, Brookland Catholic Univ., both about a mile's walk). Thanks everyone.


It is pretty safe during the day. You can hop a bus and be there in no time flat. There is parking beneath the VA building, though, so it's very convenient, but costly.

How to find a sibling given up for adoption?
Joselyn and Lily

She was born August 27 1968 in Woburn at Choate Medical Center. The agency is Catholic Charities. This is all the info I have. Is there a web site or something that I can look up someones name by their birth date and hospital they were born in? The file is a closed file so I can't get info from it.


can register with these successful registries:

http://www.isrr.net/
http://registry.adoption.com/
http://gsadoptionregistry.com/

In MA I think you'll find that, for that year, the files are accessible by the natural parent and the adoptee Some weird legislation came in last year where adoptees born before 1974 and adoptees born after 2008 can get their records People born in the middle 34 years, though, still can't! insane inequality and discrimination.

Good luck finding you sister!

proChoice people: Would you consider it immoral for a person to volunteer at a Pregnancy Crisis Center?
Hospital Statue

For those of you who don't know much about the subject, a Pregnancy Crisis Center is basically the opposite of Planned Parenthood. It's a clinic for girls who are pregnant and *don't* want an abortion. The services they offer vary based on the location, but oftentimes they provide these girls with free housing, free medical care, free parenting classes, free supplies for the babies, etc.

I know there are proChoice people who look down on these places because if you show up there not knowing if you are going to keep the baby or not, they WILL try to talk you out of having an abortion. Actually, that's not always true, BirthRight I think has a policy of not sharing their opinion of what you should do either way, but most will provide proLife materials and stress the negatives of abortion.

I'm curious what you think of these places and the people who volunteer here, since I'm thinking of volunteering at a Catholic Pregnancy Crisis Center near my house.


I am pro-choice and I used to volunteer at a Pregnancy Crisis Center.

The girls who were there had almost all been kicked out of their parents homes and had no where to go. These girls had a lot of plans. They were going to get jobs, get apartments, get married, finish school, get bus tickets to go live with their boyfriends (as soon as he got a job and a place). Nearly all of them had the best of intentions. I volunteered there as part of program aimed at raising one's self esteem and focusing on making good decisions in life.

It was a good program and they were smart girls. They had made the decision to raise their babies, for better or worse, and the programs at these centers are meant to help them be good parents and be healthy, happy women too. I would never speak ill of these programs. Just because someone decides to raise a baby when the cards are stacked against them doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to do so. They should be given every chance.

  • Mt. Sinai Vetoes Partnership With Struggling St. Vincent#39;s ...

    By Sharon Otterman

    Another potential savior has decided to pass on St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan, leaving the struggling Greenwich Village institution without a feasible rescue plan as it tries to stave off closing.

    Mount Sinai Medical Center, which had been looking into a partnership with St. Vincent’s, decided on Wednesday that it was not interested.

    “We have concluded that we are not going to pursue the acquisition of the inpatient operations of St. Vincent Catholic Medical Centers, but we will continue to consider other health care options for the communities served by St. Vincent’s,” Mount Sinai said in a statement. It did not elaborate.

    Over the next several days, the St. Vincent’s board will meet to discuss if any option short of bankruptcy still exists for the nonprofit charity hospital, which has provided health care to its surrounding community for over 160 years.

    Pelosi attends groundbreaking for new cancer center | San ...

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attended a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for a new cancer center at St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco.

    The new $22.75 million facility, expected to open in 2011, will treat hundreds of cancer patients annually, St. Mary’s Medical Center Foundation spokesman Bruce Burtch said.

    Burtch said it will essentially offer one-stop shopping for cancer patients seeking anything from diagnosis to treatment to recovery.

    “Patients are often shuttled all over a hospital for different doctors and different tests, but here everything will be located at one place,” he said.

    The majority of the funding for the center is coming from Catholic Healthcare West. An employee fundraising campaign raised more than $250,000, Burtch said.
