The Health Conference and the ISU Reading Project are sponsoring the 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 25, keynote presentation by Joseph Hilldorfer and Robert Dugoni, co-authors of the book 鈥淭he Cyanide Canary,鈥� who will present the discussion 鈥淚daho Justice: The Cyanide Canary.鈥� Their presentation will take place in the ISU Pond Student Union Building Ballroom. 鈥淭he Cyanide Canary鈥� (Simon & Schuster 2004) was honored as a Washington Post 2004 Best Book of the Year, and the Idaho Book of the Year. The book details an incident that occurred on Aug. 26, 1996, at a fertilizer plant in Soda Springs, Idaho, when a 20-year-old worker cleaned a storage tank containing cyanide, which he and other workers believed contained only dirt and water. The worker, according to the authors, was told he needed no safety equipment for the job.

The conference features a second keynote address at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 26, by Dr. John Abramson, an award-winning family doctor, on the clinical faculty at Harvard Medical School, and author of the book 鈥淥verdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine.鈥� His keynote address is titled 鈥淭he Trouble with Vioxx,鈥� which will focus on his review of studies of the blockbuster anti-arthritis drugs Vioxx and Celebrex conducted years before the recent announcement of Vioxx鈥檚 dangers. He will comment on how the two medications, although marketed as safer than an earlier and cheaper generation of products, can actually cause more severe side effects.

鈥淲e want to stress what a varied and informative Idaho Conference on Health Care we have planned this year,鈥� said Dr. Linda Hatzenbuehler, dean of the ISU Kasiska College of Health Professions. 鈥淭he Conference Planning Committee tries to design an event that appeals to a variety of constituencies including students, practicing professionals and the general public.鈥�

The conference keynote addresses are free and open to the public, but registration fees are required for the public for most conference events, including plenary speeches.
