The announcement was made at the hospital-wide employee birthday birth-day party on Monday, Nov. 2. Anderson was hired in April of 1988 and has since worked his way to department head for the MaterialsPurchasing Department at the hospital. Anderson became the assistant manager in 1989 and the manager in 1990. Some of the comments made in his behalf by his fellow employees were, "Ron always goes the extra mile to help his co-workers at the hospital, even when he is really busy. He always seems pleasant, even when he is very busy." And, "Ron has always taken great pride in his work and in the hospital. He is the type of employee who makes the hospital the great place it is." Since becoming the manager of the department Anderson has been chosen to sit on a Regional Materials Management Committee which develops new programs and procedures in HcallhTrust's Western Region which includes hospitals in Utah, California, Wyoming, and Idaho. He was also instrumental in the conversion of the new computerized comput-erized purchasing system at AVMC.

Utah and Vermont ties for the lowest infant death rate in history, 6.1 per 1,000 live births. The 1991 U.S. rate was 8.9 per 1,000 live births, 32 percent higher than Utah's. Utah beat its own 1990 record low rate of 7.4 by almost 18 percent. In 1991, only 220 infants in Utah died before their first birthday. In 1990, 269 babies died. In 1985, there were 361 such deaths. "Our Baby Your Baby prenatal care program has saved hundreds of lives," says Rod Betit, interim executive exec-utive director of the Department of Health. In 1987 a $1.7 million appropriation appropria-tion launched Baby Your Baby. This creative publicprivate partnership enhanced prenatal services for all expectant Utah mothers. Included was an intense public outreach campaign. cam-paign. "The results have been spectacular,' spec-tacular,' says John Brockert, director direc-tor of the Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics. "Since Baby Your Baby was inaugurated, Utah's infant mortality rate has dropped from 9.6 deaths per 1,000 live Most women don't know that aging, as well as smoking, diet and lifestyle, can dramatically increase their risk of heart disease. Every year, an estimated half a million women past 45 will have a heart attack. Nearly half of them will die. Making it the number one filler of women in America today. But it doesn't have to be.

"By targeting low income pregnant preg-nant women," says Betit "we have saved more than $8.5 million taxpayer tax-payer dollars because women on Medicaid have delivered many more babies at full term." The 1991 decline in the infant death rate was experienced throughout through-out the state, according to Brockert. The 25 rural counties had a rate of 5.0. The Wasatch Front counties Salt Lake, Davis, Weber and Utah experienced a 6.4 rate. In 1987, rural Utah had a higher infant in-fant death rate of 9.3 deaths per 1,000 live births, compared with the urban Wasatch Front's rate of 8.7. "Medical technology saves a lot of babies," says Brockert, "but the lowered infant mortality rate in rural ru-ral Utah, where such technology is not nearly as available, is largely the result of a basic public health prevention program Baby Your Baby." ionvl the Jvan-' van- matq 4 ' oftH ilrus- terstl but here?? last i air and 8 pd ition den- millil frtill here genel e people try. flem, saia Fo a 10-year and luml s, drawn 42 si cUffsIde m on one - said L-rich wet-; elinj bay, two way. tor-snia scenic mill fng Cali- staM . nori ittrac- . unci it's a send aarbara ' mil a a 23-year statj ifd bartender Y.TH flev's Schooner mod a . - .... - fa I LtHoteL .
