On January 14th, 2010 the SPARC Network held its third OTN Videoconference for Wedges 1, 2 and 3. Topics of presentation included a unique case study exemplifying the benefits of cooling as well as the importance of cooling in PCI. Site audiences then took part in a discussion on strategies to improve implementation of Therapeutic Hypothermia.
We'd like to thank everyone who was able to attend and look forward to joining you in the next SPARC OTN Videoconference!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone from 193 Yonge Street for their generous contributions to the Toy and Food Drive for the Scott Mission. There was a steady flow of new toys and non-perishable food coming in every day for the past week. Thanks to your donations, many children and teenagers in Toronto will be getting a wonderful surprise this holiday season.
Thank you and Season's Greetings from everyone at Rescu.
