Monday, December 26, 2016A statement from Peoples Health lauded Ms. Solomon as "a true visionary who inspired everyone around her as a health-care innovator, business leader and compassionate, supportive friend."A Medicare Advantage company provides benefits to people enrolled in the federal Medicare program. Peoples Health was among the first to offer the health plan to senior citizens as an alternative to individuals having to coordinate their own care."Standard payment of claims is the standard typical way of doing this," Murrell said, adding that Ms. Solomon "had a different way of looking at it."To Ms. Solomon's way of thinking, health care also included people such as nurse practitioners, pharmacists, home health care personnel and social workers to help people cope in what can be a bewildering system, Murrell said. So she hired them."Carol said it wasn't always possible for people to go to health care, so health care has to go to the people," Murrell said."Those were innovative approaches when you think of the stereotypical role that a health-insurance company can play," he said. "She was a pioneer."Joseph Kimbrell, president and chief executive officer of the Louisiana Public Health Institute, said Ms. Solomon also stressed prevention as an important component of health care, not only because it makes people feel better but also because warding off a condition is less costly than treating it once it has become advanced.Ms. Solomon, who sat on the institute's board, "understood the health-care delivery system in a holistic manner," Kimbrell said. "She saw a bigger picture of the health-care world."Peoples Health started in 1994 with a handful of employees, spokeswoman Judith Kiser...

He helped build a great department in our community,” Kearns said.Co-workers remember him frequently saying that the reason he became a firefighter was to provide exemplary fire services to the communities he served, the release states.Meadows was past president of the Georgia Fire Chief’s Association, the Southeastern Fire Chief’s Association, and the International Private Emergency Services Association.

Monday, November 14, 2016URBANA – University of Illinois physics professor Klaus Schulten, a great innovator of computational methods to study the physical and chemical basis of biological processes, died on Monday (Oct. 31, 2016) at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana. He was 69.Schulten was a research powerhouse, leading a team of more than 30 students and postdoctoral scientists in the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group, which he founded at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology in 1989. With a background in chemical physics and a keen understanding of the potential of powerful computers to model biological structures and the physics and chemistry that drives them, Schulten led the development of software that enables scientists around the world to observe how molecules behave and interact at the atomic scale.These include the program VMD for the interactive display, animation and analysis of large biomolecules, and the large-scale molecular dynamics simulation program NAMD. NAMD accounts for the moment-by-moment chemical interactions of as many as 10...
