Fashion Design Meets UM Research in Wearable Stem Cell Images

Prechter Fund Research Director Dr. Melvin McInnis and Dominic Pangborn (Photo: UM) Jackson native Dominic Pangborn designs scarves and ties that draw attention to Prechter bipolar disorder research teams’ advances Dominic Pangborn’s artwork is always changing and he’s fearless in his approach, which is never the same twice. Over his decades-long career, the designer has received many awards and recognitions. His signature ties are ubiquitous in the Detroit business community. Not for the wallflower, his ties, like all his designs, combine bold patterns and beautiful colors that are aesthetically pleasing and serve as statement pieces that make the wearer stand out. Now, Pangborn is making a statement about research on mental health. He has designed a new scarf and tie based on images generated by University of Michigan scientists. Those who add it to their wardrobe will be helping that science move ahead. “One of my greatest joys is to ‘pay it forward’ and give back to the community,” said Pangborn. Released just in time for May, National Mental Health Awareness Month, Pangborn’s creations are in partnership with the Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Fund. The silk scarves and ties bear images of neural stem cells generated in Prechter-funded research,…

Jackson, Consumers Energy Partner for Earth Day Activities

Jackson and Consumers Energy employees are teaming up to clean areas within the city in honor of Earth Day this Friday, April 22. The partnership highlights the first time the two organizations have worked together to clean up trash and litter within the city as part of the utilities’ cleanup efforts every April. Consumers Energy employees and city officials have worked for weeks to prepare for the cleanup efforts, slated to begin in four areas within the city of Jackson Friday morning at 9 a.m. More than 100 volunteers from the city and utility are set to begin picking up litter and trash at Loomis Park, the Martin Luther King Equality Trail (formerly the inter-city trail), Ella Sharp Park and downtown Jackson. The city will provide garbage bags for the pickups. “Consumers Energy has been a great corporate citizen for our community,” Councilman Derek Dobies, 6th Ward, said. “Partnering to clean up our downtown and other areas on Earth Day underscores that commitment and helps not only protect the environment, but aids undertaking like the Anchor Initiative in making Jackson more attractive to new residents and businesses.” Jackson Mayor Bill Jors agreed with Dobies. Jors helps organize similar cleanup efforts…

Henry Ford Allegiance Health Celebrates Decade of Emergency Heart Care

Henry Ford Allegiance Health is marking its 10th anniversary of bringing emergency angioplasty to the Jackson community.  Prior to that, patients having a heart attack had to travel 30 to 45 minutes away for the procedure.  In February of 2008, when the health system brought open-heart surgery services to Jackson, surgeons also began performing planned (non-emergency) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs)—a way of re-establishing blood flow down the coronary arteries that feed the heart. Now, the team completes approximately 600 of these planned procedures annually.   In total, Henry Ford Allegiance Health has performed more than 6,010 emergent and non-emergent PCIs over the past decade. Averaging a door-to-balloon time of 65 minutes, it has been consistently faster than the nationally recognized standards. Earlier this month, Allegiance Health joined the Henry Ford Health System as Henry Ford Allegiance Health.  A partnership celebration video can be viewed here.
