U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents shot and wounded a man and a woman Thursday afternoon in a medical clinic parking lot near Adventist Medical Center in Southeast Portland, authorities and witnesses said.

One was shot in the leg and the other in the chest, Portland police sources said. They are believed to be a married couple. Police said they didn’t know their immediate conditions.

The shooting occurred about 2:25 p.m. near the 10000 block of Southeast Main Street, the FBI said in a statement to their X account that was deleted shortly after.

“This remains and active and ongoing investigation led by the FBI,” the statement said.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, said agents were trying to make a traffic stop and characterized the shooting as self-defense.

She said the person agents tried to stop was a “Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring” who had been involved in a recent shooting in Portland. Another person was in the car, too, she said.

“When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents,” she said. “Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene. This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.”

She didn’t release any names.

Japhet De Oliveira, a spokesperson for Adventist Health, said police responded to the shooting in the Adventist Health Portland campus in an area with several clinics and offices.

Tina Henderson, who works in the medical office at the shooting scene, said someone ran into her suite and said, “You guys, be careful. There was just a shooting in the parking lot.”

Rating Action: Moody's Affirms Aa3 LOC-backed Adventist Healthcare, Inc. MD's Variable Rate Revenue Bonds, Series 2005A



Global Credit Research - 25 Oct 2016



New York, October 25, 2016 -- Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Aa3 long-term joint support letter of credit-backed rating of Maryland Health & Higher Educational Facilities Authority, Revenue Bonds (Adventist HealthCare, Inc. Project), Series 2005A (the Bonds). The short-term VMIG 1 rating assigned to the Bonds remains unchanged.



RATINGS RATIONALE



Moody's review of the long-term joint default analysis (JDA) rating of the Bonds resulted from Moody's downgrade of Adventist HealthCare, Inc.'s (AHC) rating to Baa3 from Baa2 on October 17, 2016. For more information on that rating action please see the rating update report published on such date.



The Bonds are supported by an irrevocable direct pay letter of credit provided by MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (the Bank). The long-term rating of the Bonds continues to be based on JDA, which reflects Moody's approach to rating jointly supported transactions. The JDA rating is based on (a) the long-term Counterparty Risk Assessment (CR Assessment) of the Bank as provider of the letter of credit, (b) the underlying rating of the Bonds, and (c) the structure and legal protections of the transaction which provide for timely debt service payments to investors.



Factors that Could Lead to an Upgrade



-Moody's upgrades the long-term CR Assessment of the Bank or the long-term underlying rating of the Bonds.

-The short-term rating upgrade is not applicable.



Factors that Could Lead to a Downgrade



-Moody's downgrades the long-term CR Assessment of the Bank or the long-term underlying rating of the Bonds.

-Moody's assessment of the default dependence between the Bank and AHC increases.

-Moody's downgrades the short-term CR Assessment of the Bank.



METHODOLOGY



The principal methodology used in this rating was Rating Transactions Based on the Credit Substitution Approach: Letter of Credit backed, Insured and Guaranteed Debts published in December 2015. Please see the Rating Methodologies page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.



REGULATORY DISCLOSURES



For ratings issued on a program, series or category/class of debt, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to each rating of a subsequently issued bond or note of the same series or category/class of debt or pursuant to a program for which the ratings are derived exclusively from existing ratings in accordance with Moody's rating practices. For ratings issued on a support provider, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to the rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the support provider's credit rating. For provisional ratings, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final issuance of the debt, in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed prior to the assignment of the definitive rating in a manner that would have affected the rating. For further information please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page for the respective issuer on www.moodys.com.



For any affected securities or rated entities receiving direct credit support from the primary entity(ies) of this rating action, and whose ratings may change as a result of this rating action, the associated regulatory disclosures will be those of the guarantor entity. Exceptions to this approach exist for the following disclosures, if applicable to jurisdiction: Ancillary Services, Disclosure to rated entity, Disclosure from rated entity.

Processed meat 'linked to pancreatic cancer'

A link between eating processed meat, such as bacon or sausages, and pancreatic cancer has been suggested by researchers in Sweden.

They said eating an extra 50g of processed meat, approximately one sausage, every day would increase a person's risk by 19%.

But the chance of developing the rare cancer remains low.

The World Cancer Research Fund suggested the link may be down to obesity.

Eating red and processed meat has already been linked to bowel cancer. As a result the UK government recommended in 2011 that people eat no more than 70g a day.

Prof Susanna Larsson, who conducted the study at the Karolinska Institute, told the BBC that links to other cancers were "quite controversial".

She added: "It is known that eating meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer, it's not so much known about other cancers."

The study, published in the British Journal of Cancer, analysed data from 11 trials and 6,643 patients with pancreatic cancer.

Increased risk

It found that eating processed meat increased the risk of pancreatic cancer. The risk increased by 19% for every 50g someone added to their daily diet. Having an extra 100g would increase the risk by 38%.

Prof Larsson said: "Pancreatic cancer has poor survival rates. So as well as diagnosing it early, it's important to understand what can increase the risk of this disease."

She recommended that people eat less red meat.


Cancer Research UK said the risk of developing pancreatic cancer in a lifetime was "comparatively small" - one in 77 for men and one in 79 for women.

Sara Hiom, the charity's information director, said: "The jury is still out as to whether meat is a definite risk factor for pancreatic cancer and more large studies are needed to confirm this, but this new analysis suggests processed meat may be playing a role."

However, she pointed out that smoking was a much greater risk factor.

The World Cancer Research Fund has advised people to completely avoid processed meat.

Dr Rachel Thompson, the fund's deputy head of science, said: "We will be re-examining the factors behind pancreatic cancer later this year as part of our Continuous Update Project, which should tell us more about the relationship between cancer of the pancreas and processed meat.

"There is strong evidence that being overweight or obese increases the risk of pancreatic cancer and this study may be an early indication of another factor behind the disease.

"Regardless of this latest research, we have already established a strong link between eating red and processed meat and your chances of developing bowel cancer, which is why WCRF recommends limiting intake of red meat to 500g cooked weight a week and avoid processed meat altogether."

Georgetown University Hospital - Adventist Health Care Behavioral Health Services form partnership...





Department of Psychiatry, Georgetown University Hospital - Adventist Health Care Behavioral Health Services form partnership to Establish a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship

We are extremely pleased to announce that the Georgetown University Hospital Department of Psychiatry has reached agreement with Adventist Health Care Behavioral Health Services to establish a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship. This partnership will provide outstanding training opportunities and allow us to address the growing need for high quality Child and Adolescent psychiatrists in our community.

The Adventist system has a wide range of mental health services for children and adolescents. This partnership will allow us to offer the full range of training opportunities necessary for a fellowship and will provide funding for residents. GUH will provide the academic base for the program as well as additional clinical training (e.g. outpatient, C-L) and supervision. The first step in the process will be the recruitment of the Fellowship Director who will be based at Adventist and have a faculty appointment at Georgetown. Although there are a number of steps that need to be completed, we are hoping that our first fellowship class will be able to start in 2010.

Randy Travis gives his all at Denver heart benefit

Posted: 11/14/2010 01:00:00 AM MST



Karen and Darrell Johnson (she's president of the Rocky Mountain Adventist Healthcare Foundation) welcome headliner Randy Travis, center, to the Heart of Hearts Gala. (Steve Peterson, Special to The Denver Post )

The 30th anniversary Heart of Hearts Gala may have been the last stop on Randy Travis' 60-city tour, but it was obvious the country music superstar had saved the best for last.

A two-time Country Music Association Male Vocalist of the Year, Travis has had 16 of his songs make it to No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country list. And he sang most of them in the 90-plus minutes that he performed for the 550 who attended this annual benefit for cardiac care services at Avista, Littleton, Parker and Porter Adventist Hospitals.

Even those who thought they didn't like country music left the Sheraton Denver Downtown buzzing about how much they'd enjoyed the auction, dinner and show emceed by 9News anchor Mark Koebrich.

In keeping with the headliner's country roots, the decor had a down-home feel with bales of hay, calico and old-fashioned lanterns. And cowboy boots were what was used to hold the prize certificates offered in the pre-dinner mystery gift sale.

Special guests included Bill and Betty Ruth Hewit, whose Hewit Charitable Trust has been the Heart of Hearts Gala entertainment sponsor since Year One; cardiologist Mark Sheehan; and heart attack survivor Cathy Hunter.

Others joining in the fun were American Furniture Warehouse boss Jake Jabs and his wife, Ann; promoter Chuck Morris and his wife, Becky; Randy Haffner; LaFawn Biddle; Alicia and Dr. Wayne Guerra; Matt and Suzanne Anctil; Sharon and Greg Pappas; Holly and Dr. Sean Griggs; Randy Berner and Sarah Ellis; Kris and Karen Ordelheide; Jonathan Bach and Gina Russo; Robert Spina and Dr. Karen Zarlengo; and Darrell Schulte, chairman of the host Rocky Mountain Adventist Healthcare Foundation, with his wife, Cherrelyn.Coming right up.

"Under the Light of the Moon" is the theme and Karen Brody, Alessandra Schulein, Shirley Smith, Mike Hughes, Ben Schulein and Marlis Smith are the chairs for Opera Colorado's Gala 2010. The black-tie affair starts at 6 p.m. Friday in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. Following cocktails and a silent auction, there's a program starring soprano Inna Dukach, tenor Richard Troxell and baritone Elliot Madore, with a Kevin Taylor-catered dinner and dancing to round out the night. Call 303-778-7086. ... On Saturday night, former astronaut Eugene Cernan is honored at the Spreading Wings Gala: An Evening with the Last Man on the Moon. It's at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum; Joanne Maguire is the honorary chair and guests are encouraged to wear astronaut, aviator or cocktail attire. Call Lindsay Mohrman, 303-360-5360. ... Also on Saturday, BJ Dyer and Guenther Vogt chair the 2010 Fantasy Ball: Piece of My Heart. Adrienne Ruston Fitzgibbons, Jamee Smith, Janet Perlstein, Kate Sutton and Quinn Washington also have leaderhip roles in this benefit for The Adoption Exchange. It's at Seawell Ballroom and tickets can be purchased by calling 303-755-4756.

Christmas tree honors deceased loved ones


November 16, 2010

Hinsdale – More than 350 individuals will be memorialized as part of the Tree of Remembrance, an annual tribute presented by Adventist St. Thomas Hospice and Harris Bank Hinsdale. Now in its 17th season of commemorating friends and loved ones, the tree is on display on the corner of Lincoln and First streets in front of Harris Bank’s downtown Hinsdale location. Volunteers will install and decorate it at 10 a.m. Nov. 21. This year, Adventist St. Thomas Hospice is celebrating its 30th anniversary serving the community.

Community members can honor a loved one who has passed away by making a contribution to Adventist St. Thomas Hospice. The loved one’s name is then written on one of two adjacent memorial name boards. Funds raised are used to assist uninsured families and to provide bereavement support to all members of the community. It is the hospice’s only annual fundraiser.

“We hear stories from families who tell us that visiting the tree is an annual event,” said Rosie Cohen, the hospice’s bereavement coordinator. “They meet at the tree to look for their loved one’s name and then spend time together in downtown Hinsdale. It’s a wonderful way to remember someone.”

The tree will be illuminated from Nov. 26 to Jan. 2, a tradition that began in 1993.

Gift envelopes are available inside the Harris Bank of Hinsdale, or by calling Adventist St. Thomas Hospice’s bereavement department at (630) 856-6993. Donations may also be mailed to the attention of Tree of Remembrance at Adventist St. Thomas Hospice, 119 E. Ogden Avenue, Suite 111, Hinsdale, IL 60521.

The hospice is part of Adventist Hinsdale Hospital and serves patients and families in DuPage, eastern Kane, northern Will and western Cook counties. It is certified by Medicare and accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

Adventist film well received by Andrews audience




Documentary discusses church's approach to health
By DEBRA HAIGHT - H-P Correspondent
Published: Monday, April 12, 2010 1:08 PM EDT


BERRIEN SPRINGS - It wasn't exactly a Hollywood premiere with stars walking down a red carpet, but the Southwest Michigan premiere of "The Adventists" drew rave reviews from those watching Saturday night at Andrews University.

Nearly 2,000 people crowded into Pioneer Memorial Church on campus to watch the one-hour film about the Seventh-day Adventist Church's role in promoting a holistic approach to health.

People's applause was long and spontaneous as the film credits rolled at the end. During the showing, occasional laughter as well as murmurs of "wow" and other exclamations could be periodically heard.

"The Adventists" is the latest film by Martin Doblmeier, founder of Journey Films and an award-winning documentary filmmaker. His other films include "Bonhoeffer," which was a theatrical release, and "The Power of Forgiveness."

Doblmeier readily admits that "The Adventists" is not a comprehensive look at what he describes as the "American-born religion" founded by Ellen White, but instead a look at "the intersection of faith and health care."

He said he became interested in making a film about the Seventh-day Adventist role in the development of modern health care after touring the Adventist Loma Linda health facilities in California.

"I was presenting a screening of 'Bonhoeffer' at Loma Linda and while I was out there, I was given a tour of the medical facility," he said in an interview Saturday.

"That crystallized the idea of investigating the idea of the intersection of faith and health care. There was also data coming out showing that Seventh-day Adventists were living five to 10 years longer on average than other Americans."

The film highlights the Loma Linda hospital and Adventist hospitals in Florida and Ohio. It delves into the roots of the Adventist approach by telling the stories of Ellen White and John Harvey Kellogg.

White, founder of the Seventh-day Adventists, was a follower of William Miller, who believed that Christ would return in 1844. She later said she had visions about the relationship between physical and spiritual health and the need for a simpler lifestyle where people didn't smoke, drink or eat meat.

Kellogg was an early convert and founded the Battle Creek Sanitarium where people, including many celebrities, flocked in the late 1800s and early 1900s to learn healthy habits.

Like many of Doblmeier's other productions, this film has been shown on Public Broadcasting Service stations nationwide. It has not been scheduled for WNIT, the PBS station reaching much of Southwest Michigan.

He said people should check the http://www.journey/ films.com Web site to learn when and where the film will be aired.

Doblemeier spent Friday and Saturday at Andrews, showing "The Adventists" and "The Power of Forgiveness." He also spoke at four workshops and at the Saturday morning Sabbath service at Pioneer Memorial.

"The response has been terrific" for "The Adventists," he said. "The timing is also so good with health care being an important conversation going on in the country right now."
