Staff BBQ



Sunday, July 20, found a bunch of us at EPM North for our first staff BBQ. A hot day, but good food and company, cold drinks, and a showing of a rough rough-cut. A good time was had by all. Pictured here are: David Jr., son of director Dave Bettencourt; Marisa Bettencourt, Dave's wife; and Kate Miller, my daughter and EPM promotions director.

NOTED TB EXPERT JOINS OUTREACH


As Eagle Peak Media moves forward with plans to help raise awareness of tuberculosis today, we are pleased to announce that leading TB expert Dr. E. Jane Carter, senior consultant for the RISE tuberculosis Clinic at Providence's Miriam Hospital and assistant professor at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, has agreed to join the effort. Before heading off to Kenya last week, where she is engaged in the global battle against the disease, we met with Dr. Carter and found her to be not only knowledgeable (we expected that) but also excited about her cause and the role OTL will play through its TB Awareness Days program, which begins this fall at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health and continues into next year. The program is still being refined, but Dr. Carter will bring great authority to it. So, welcome, Dr. Carter… and a safe trip to and from Kenya.

The RISE clinic, sponsored by the Rhode Island Department of Health, is the state’s TB treatment center, recording some 8,500 patient visits every year –– most by people who carry the TB bacterium, but have not developed the disease. But the clinic does treat active cases –– including a man who tell his emotionally powerful story of his cure in the movie.

WEB SITE IS UP

After some careful planning and great design, our web site is up. A few last-minute touches remain, but it's essentially done -- and it looks fantastic. Our designer is James Nicholas of EasyWebCreations, and we recommend him and his company highly.

Now we have one central point of entry for all of EPM's projects. Drop by, look around, and let us know what you think.
