Two Area Physicians Pledge $1 Million Challenge Gift Toward New UNECOM Biomedical Research Facility

The official announcement of UNE's plans to raise $6 million to construct the first phase of a research facility that will support growing biomedical research at UNECOM, and will dramatically advance UNE’s plan to become a significant research institution, was made during the Maine Osteopathic Association’s Mid-Winter Conference on February 7, 2004. At that time the  $1 million matching challenge from physician Owen Pickus, D.O., a UNE trustee and faculty member, and his wife, Geraldine Ollila-Pickus, D.O., a 1993 graduate of UNECOM was also announced.

This is the largest gift to the University ever made by a UNE trustee, as well as by a UNE graduate. The Pickuses are encouraging UNECOM alumni, osteopathic physicians, and friends of the osteopathic profession to join them in building this key facility in the growth of UNE and its medical school.

Initially, the new research building will be a University Campus (Biddeford) structure built to accommodate the laboratories of several new researchers, along with the offices for faculty, technicians, postdoctoral fellows and student researchers. In the future, this facility will be expanded in phases, as funds are available. With commitments in hand, the University could begin construction in 2005 or 2006. UNE Press Release.

Puppet Troupe Teaches Children about Health Careers

Assistant Professor of Nursing Cynthia Morris has again taken her troupe of eight hand puppets, a puppet video and puppet coloring book to several schools in southern Maine to explain to first and second graders what health professionals do to help people who are ill or injured. The puppets, in a program called "The Great Hospital Adventure," portray a young boy who falls out of a tree and is taken by ambulance to the hospital where he is examined, x-rayed, has his leg put into a cast, and is taught to use a pair of crutches.

Six of the lovable puppets represent different careers in health care: nurses, physical therapists, M.D. physicians, D.O. physicians, paramedics, and radiological technologists. The puppets are matched with real health care professionals who look like them and share the same career. The materials portray multi cultural and non-traditional gender roles in health care as well. The children also learned to dial the local emergency number 911, discuss emergency plans and instructions, and identify seven health behaviors while playing the "Stay Healthy" game in the coloring book.

This on-going program is a part of the UNE College of Health Professions' I2H2 initiative in integrated, interdisciplinary health and healing education, research, training and practice. Morris will be recruiting and training other faculty members from the various health disciplines at UNE. They will become part of the Great Hospital Adventure Puppet Troupe.
