May 13: Fixing Broken Hearts: Replacements and Pumps
End stage heart failure is an increasing cause of debilitation and death with our aging population. When medical treatment fails, heart transplantation or mechanical assist devices can be very effective in certain patients. The risks, benefits and costs of these procedures and the process of decision making for determining which patients would benefit the most will be discussed. Shared decision making between physicians, nurses, patients and their families will be emphasized as well as ethical implications. The importance of organ donation will be stressed.
May 20: Globalization — Seeds of Our Demise or Our Last Best Hope?
Does globalization provide our best hope for international peace and prosperity, or does it contain the seeds of our national demise? The idea of expanding and integrating global markets, companies, and financial systems has spawned Molotov cocktail throwing riots even in well- heeled cities in the US, but it also provides one of the pillars of US economic policy pursued by both Republican and Democrat administrations. Some commentators argue that globalized markets disproportionately benefit the powerful developed countries such as the US at the expense of poorer developing nations. Others argue just as vehemently that the only beneficiaries are the low wage developing countries such as China and Brazil which are undermining the very foundations of the US economy. As with everything it seems, where some see nothing but threats, others see a world of opportunity.
Craig Maginness, a Montview elder who is president of the World Trade Center Association in Denver and an adjunct professor teaching international business in the MBA program at Colorado State University, will attempt to provide a reality check on the controversial topic of globalization based on nearly two decades of real world experience doing business around the globe.
