WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 14, 2005 Metro-sponsored
meeting A Metro-sponsored meeting to hear Vancouver officials discuss the “transformation of this once sleepy city into a vibrant downtown” is sold out, Metro officials said today. Presenters at the meeting are Mayor Royce Pollard, Vancouver economic development director Steve Burdick, Vancouver Housing Authority chief executive officer Kurt Creager, developer Thomas Kemper, and Metro Council president David Bragdon. Thursday’s meeting is one of a series called “Get Centered,” that focuses on visionary developers, architects and elected officials who initiate investment that helps build the region’s vibrant downtowns and main streets. Vancouver’s show-off project Thursday is Esther Short Commons, which provides low-cost housing, retail shops and a permanent Vancouver Farmers Market. The indoor market officially opens this weekend. Other “Get Centered” target communities are Lake Oswego, Gresham, Beaverton, and Portland’s Hollywood district. The meeting is from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15, in the Hilton Vancouver Washington. Metro is a directed elected regional government that serves more than 1.3 million residents in Clackamas, Multhomah and Washington Counties and 25 cities in the Portland metropolitan area, excluding Vancouver. Metro is the only home rule chartered regional governmental agency in the nation. Southwest
Washington Medical Center Southwest Washington Medical Center has been awarded a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medal of Honor for its record of achieving organ transplant rates of at least 75 percent last year. The national average is 55 percent. During the period, March 2003 through February 2004, 19 lifesaving organs were transplanted from nine organ donors at the medical center. SWMC was one of three hospitals of 78 in the Pacific Northwest to receive the honor.
