STARPAHC
The AHSL holds the archives of the STARPAHC project, an early telemedicine program carried out by NASA, the Indian Health Service and the Tohono O’Odham nation. Last night the Tohono O’Odham tribe celebrated the accomplishments of this program with a seminar in Sells, AZ that brought together some of the original participants to discuss the significance of this early effort. An attractive exhibit featured pictures from the archive. Speakers shared stories ranging from the lasting impact of this pioneering program to reminiscences such as the “disappearing truck” story. Dave, Jeanette, Yamila and Gary attended and I believe all found it to be an inspiring evening. Photos can be found on the G drive at: ALLSTAFF:AHSL Photos – Save for achiving:2011 STARPAHC celebration in Sells.



Campus construction
The Comstock Building, NW of the library is being renovated. When it is finished, AHSC Human Resources will be moving into Comstock. All parking meters on the AHSC will soon be replaced with pay stations that will only accept credit or debit cards – no cash. However the new machines can call your cell phone when your time is about to expire and allow you to add time from the phone. Outdoor security cameras will be installed around campus in the coming months thanks to a grant from Homeland Security.
