The nun, who was born and raised in San Francisco, did not discover her running potential until late 1978. A niece, who was running, encouraged Sister Marion to run with her. The nun resisted tor months, then recalls “I gave it a try and just loved it right away. To keep in trainino. she runs between 70 and 80 miles a week. (UPI) National Hospital Week To Honor Medieal Employees Mo*e than 2,000 people work in the Wake County Hospital System. They perform hundreds of different jobs, and yet each is a specialist in caring. It is fitting, therefore, that the 1984 theme for National Hospital Week, May 6-12, is “We’re the Caring Kind.’’ A total commitment to providing the best possible care is evident in the under standing and sensitivity peo ple have come to expect in the five hospitals of the Wake County Hospital Sys tem. Every day of the year, these specialists in caring are reaching out to meet the needs of their patients. During National Hospital Week, several events are planned to recognize the contributions of the hospital system’s employees. Em ployees will be the guests of honor at an ice cream party and breakfast sponsored by the hospital system. It is not surprising that the employees of the Wake County Hospital System show they are specialists in caring in the community as well as in their work. The finale to National Hospital Week'fwill be the running of the Pulsebeat 5000 Road Race at the Wake County Medical Center May 12 at 10 a.m. The Pulsebeat 5000 is designed to promote exercise as an important part of health and to raise money for the nurseries at Wake County Medical Center. This is ju§t another example of the many ways that the board of directors, administration and employees of the Wake County Hospital System show that they are special ists in carine. An innovative public in formation campaign using the resources of 55,000 community pharmacies, and 120,000 pharmacists across the country to help educate parents on the health dangers of illicit drug use by their children was launched today in North Carolina and the rest of the nation. The program, called Phar macists Against Drug Abuse was created by McNeil Pharmaceutical and the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies. It is built around a free brochure, “The Kinds of Drugs Kids Are Getting Into.” PADA focuses on alerting the public to the dangers of such commonly abused “gate way” drugs as marijuana and alcohol. According to Dr. Carlton E. Turner, Director of the White House Drufe Abuse Policy Office, “These are the two sub stances young people are most likely to use in entering the drug scene.” The pro gram also focuses on co caine, the fastest growing drug of abuse in America.

Another directive of the guild arid Abuse Foundation, a founda tion created by McNeil Pharmaceutical and the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies specifically for the program. In addition to endorsements from First Lady Nancy Reagan, PADA has the ongoing support of the White House Drug Abuse Policy Office, ACTION—the Federal Volunteer Agency, The National Parent’s Re source Institute for Drug Education (PRIDE) and the National Federation of Pa rents for Drug-Free Youth. Speaking before media conferences in New York and Los Angeles to launch the program nationwide. Dr. Turner emphasized that over one third of ail youth in America use illegal drugs and one out of every 18 high school seniors use mari juana every day. Dr. Turner added, “Pa rents and children need to know that using these drugs is harmful. For example, marijuana can have a marked impact on a child’s ability to learn and to remember things. What we’re really talking about is an epidemic of drug abuse which is a threat, a real danger to a generation of young people.” According to Jack E. O’Brien, the program was developed using pharma cists because “local phar macists, by academic train ing and professional exper tise are experts in drugs and an excellent source of in formation on drug abuse.” He added, “to make the program successful we must do more than distribute 25 million brochures on drug abuse throughout the United States. Additionally, parents must educate themselves about drug abuse, talk to their kids, get involved in their communities, and form and work with existing parent’s groups that can turn around the drug abuse problem in America.” For parents who want further information about how to aid in the fight against drug abuse, there are two toll-free numbers to call: ACTION-PRIDE, the Na tional Resource Center at 1-800-241-7946 or the National Federation of Parents for Drug-Free Youth at 1-800- KIDS.
