On Thursday, March 26th, guests gathered for the Ambassadors Speakers Series titled, “Children, Hospitals and Post-Traumatic Stress: A New Research Approach” at the Manhattan Beach Marriott, hosted by Kathy Hauck.
CHLA Chief Nursing Officer, Mary Dee Hacker, and panelists Nancy Blake, Jeffrey I. Gold, and Cristie Suzukawa, led an intriguing discussion that delved into the causes, signs and symptoms of hospital-induced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and how interdisciplinary nursing research may uncover solutions. The panel also provided practical tips to manage hospital stressors for children and adults.

Backbone, Portland Sea Shepherd, Columbia Riverkeeper, and NW Steelhead Association met at Holladay Park and marched to the entrance of the Bonneville Power Administration, (BPA) for a brief rally to stand up for salmon and orca, stand with the Tribes in a clarion call for bold, urgent action to shut down the BPA's Extinction Machines!
Snake River salmon are only one catastrophic event away from extinction, and if those runs start to disappear, lower river runs will follow, the orca that depend on them perish, and a way of life for the Indigenous people of this region will be lost forever. Decades of science confirm that removing the lower Snake River dams is the only way to change this trajectory.
Amidst the hottest, driest spring and summer we've ever seen in the Pacific Northwest momentum is building for a comprehensive plan called the Columbia Basin Initiative, aka "Simpson Plan" nicknamed after its author Congressman Mike Simpson, (R-ID). This plan maps a way forward that restores a free-flowing lower Snake River, modernizes transportation and energy infrastructure, and invests in river-dependent communities.
Last month, 57 tribes with Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI) passed a unanimous resolution to support the Simpson Plan. Two weeks ago, the 500 tribes of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) passed a similar resolution. Last week, a Indigenous Salmon & Orca summit invited policy makers to listen to why urgent action is needed. A new petition to Biden from the Umatilla Indian Youth Leadership Council already has nearly 15,000 signatures.
The environmental community is calling on elected leaders to rally behind the Columbia River Basin Plan without any further delay or obfuscation. The BPA has spent $17 billion dollars on salmon recovery, yet the salmon in their charge continue to approach extinction. The Simpson Plan not only removes the Lower Snake River Dams, it also finally puts protection of salmon back in the hands of the Tribes.
