Paving the Way in Breast Care

It’s breast cancer awareness month, and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is doing its part to fight the fight and find a cure.

A team representing the nationally accredited Breast Center of Excellence hit the streets of downtown Amarillo last weekend for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

The “BCE Babes” took part in the 1k walk helping raise money to provide a variety of breast health related services for uninsured and under insured women.Up to 75 percent of the funds raised at the Race remain in the Amarillo area. The other 25 percent goes to fund national research to discover the causes of breast cancer. ....................... The Laura W. Bush Institute for Women’s Health (LWBIWH) is making sure women in West Texas are able to over-come certain barriers when it comes to breast cancer screening.

It’s hard to imagine, but a lot of women don’t receive mammograms or other life-saving services because they simply can’t find a ride to a screening location or they can’t find someone to watch their kids. For others, it comes down to financial difficulties.

That’s where the Laura W. Bush Insti-tute for Women’s Health comes in. Thanks to a three year $1.67 million dollar grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, LWBIWH has launched the Access to Breast Care for West Texas (ABC4WT) Project.

The goal of this project is to increase breast cancer screening rates and preventive care in the under served populations of West Texas. ABC4WT will not only allow the LWBIWH to offer mammography to women in these populations, but will also pay for the diagnostic work up if the results are abnormal.

The BCE Babes, a team made up of 17 TTUHSC employees and their family members, participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

‘Tis the Season for Flu Shots

It’s breast cancer awareness month, and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is doing its part to fight the fight and find a cure.

A team representing the nationally accredited Breast Center of Excellence hit the streets of downtown Amarillo last weekend for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

The “BCE Babes” took part in the 1k walk helping raise money to provide a variety of breast health related services for uninsured and under insured women.Up to 75 percent of the funds raised at the Race remain in the Amarillo area. The other 25 percent goes to fund national research to discover the causes of breast cancer. ....................... The Laura W. Bush Institute for Women’s Health (LWBIWH) is making sure women in West Texas are able to over-come certain barriers when it comes to breast cancer screening.

If you wish to receive a flu shot at the pharmacy, please follow this process:1. Print and complete the Immunization Services Voucher2. Take the voucher to your immediate supervisor or administrator3. If you qualify, he/she will indicate their approval on the voucher4. Bring the voucher to the pharmacy5. Pharmacy staff will record your immu-nization and make the information avail-able to employee health and your admin-istrator

If you do not meet the requirements of the HSC OP, you can still get a flu shot at the pharmacy, but it may not be free. If you do have to pay, you will receive the immuni-zation at a very good price. Please note, this system does not apply to students. A different approach will be used for them. For more information, please contact David Simmons in the pharmacy or visit with your administrator.

Center Amarillo raised over $37,000 in 2009.

The best and easiest way to give is through Payroll Deduction. You can desig-nate to charities of your choice through the SECC and have your gift deducted from your paycheck. This spreads your giving over a year and increases the impact you can make to those causes you choose to support.

Cash and check giving is also accepted. You can still designate your gift to your favorite charity(ties).

The SOP Pharmacy, located on the first floor of the main TTUHSC building, is now offering flu shot clinics. Faculty and staff who meet the requirements of the HSC OP, or who are approved by their administra-tor, will not have to pay. Instead, TTUHSC will cover the expense of the vaccine within the dollars that have been budgeted/provided by TTUHSC adminis-tration in Lubbock.

The SECC is the charitable giving campaign for the state government and higher education workplace.

Giving through the SECC is one of the easiest things to do. Each year, more than 55,000 of your fellow state and higher education employees contribute through a payroll deduction or a cash/check gift. In 2009, through the generosity of state and higher education employees, more than $10.14 million was contributed to many charities and federations.

Leave Balances

Why does my leave balance as of September not show any time taken or leave accrued?Remember that our fiscal year starts over every September and so the leave balances and accrued totals start over. Leave taken will not show until you enter time on your Web Time Entry or Web Leave Report. September accruals will show up as soon as payroll starts processing for this month. For semi-monthly employees, the September accrual should show up around the 20th and for monthly employees, it should show up around the 28th. What happens to the hours that I lost from vacation because I was over my maximum carry forward? Those hours will drop from your vacation time to your sick leave. Some of you will have noticed that Payroll has already subtracted those hours from vacation to your sick leave before your August Web Leave Report was processed. Once the August Web Leave Report is processed, Payroll will manually go back and adjust.

HR TIP

TTUSHC Resident Published in Prestigious Medical Journal


It was a record-breaking year for the Texas Panhandle Poison Center Medica-tion Clean out Project. Nearly 300 cars drove through the TTUHSC parking lot last weekend dropping off all sorts of expired, leftover or unneeded medica-tion. According to Ronica Farrar with the Poison Center, a total of 592.5 pounds of medications were collected. With the exception of liquids, that weight repre-sents just the medication without the containers. The project was made possible thanks to a three-year $300,000 grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The goal of the annual project is to prevent medication-related poisonings, misuse, abuse and environ-mental contamination.

1. All faculty, students and staff are required to change their eRaider password every 90 days.

2. Do not share your passwords with anyone, including friends, coworkers and family members. Anything that happens to your account is your respon-sibility.

3. When creating your password, don’t use anything that would be easy for someone to guess. Don’t use your username, phone number, birthday or license plate number.

4. The longer the password is, the harder it is for someone to figure it out. Your password must be 8-15 characters long. Try to use all 15 by using a mix of letters, numbers and special characters.

5. Do not write your passwords down on a piece of paper. Instead commit them to memory. Never put your password on a sticky note on your monitor or desk.

In an effort to keep your information safe, the TTUHSC Information Technol-ogy Division has a few tips regarding your computer password.

The third annual Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) course drew in a nice crowd last weekend. Course partici-pants included all incoming OB-GYN and Family Medicine residents, nurses from regional hospitals, paramedics responsible for regional perinatal trans-port from Oklahoma, military physicians and private family medicine physicians from around the state of Texas. The two-day event included lectures, a simu-lation lab-based series of workshops and a combination of written and practicum simulation-based skills tests. The ALSO Course Team was founded in 2008 with grants from the local chapter of the March of Dimes and the Regional Dean.
