JCHP Celebrates Allied Health Professions Week
November 8-12, 2004

Good news for JCHP students: the healthcare industry is predicted to add nearly 3.5 million jobs between 2002 and 2012, and a large majority of these new jobs will be in nursing and the allied health professions. Health care is already the largest industry in the United States with five million people working in 80 allied health professions throughout the country.

To honor the current and future healthcare workers in our midst, JCHP celebrates Allied Health Professions Week November 8-12 with a variety of activities. Attend each event and be sure to enter the daily raffle.

Monday features a Student Snack Break, sponsored by the JCHP Alumni Association and Career Development Center. Between noon and 2, visit the 18 th floor of the Edison building for soft pretzels and sodas.

Enjoy Lunch with the President on Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. Join Dr. Barchi on the 18 th floor of the Edison building for a hoagie and a chat. Don't miss this opportunity to visit with the university president. And be sure to enter today's raffle for 76ers tickets!

JCHP students and faculty promote the Allied Health Professions at Market East train station on Wednesday. During the busy commuting hours, students and faculty will join the admissions and marketing staff to hand out granola bars, health tips, and information about JCHP.

Where would we be without our excellent faculty and staff? On Thursday it's time to celebrate them at the Faculty and Staff Appreciation Day . All JCHP faculty and staff will receive a ticket entitling them to coffee and cookies between 2:30 and 4 on the 18 th floor.
