Many thanks to our long-serving Listserv Coordinator as she retires and transfers the reins. During our meeting we voted to officially add a website to our communication tools. We liked the sample site the committee developed.
We learned all about the work of the Dallas County Medical Examiner's office.

Directions and Parking:
Driving Directions: http://www.north-texas.med.va.gov/maps/dallasmap.htm
Lancaster runs North and South. It is about half way between I-35 and I-45. Our campus is a couple of blocks north of Loop 12/Ledbetter Dr.
A link to a map of our campus: http://www.north-texas.med.va.gov/maps/exterior_map.pdf
Building 75 on the left side of the map is the Community Center, where we will be holding our meeting.
Parking can be hard to find, but we are hoping that Thursday is not a heavy clinic day.
We recommend DART because of parking issues. More information can be found at: http://www.dart.org/
The entire DART System Map at: http://www.dart.org/maps/pdfmaps/DARTSystemMap03mar08.pdf
DART stops right in front of the Medical Center. This is the next to the last stop on the Blue Line. You can connect from the TRE at Union Station, and of course from the Red Line at a couple of stops. A one day pass is $3 (and may be worth it, believe us!).
You can either enter at the main entrance by the DART station and make an immediate left turn to follow the road around to that building, or go east on Ann Arbor from Lancaster and turn right onto the campus, and take another right to drive west past the building to the parking area.
To get to parking lot 1 (there will be more parking places near the Community Center than just west of the building), you must go in the main entrance, all the way "up" the drive, u-turn back down and enter the parking lot midway back down the drive. (This lot is for patients and visitors. We see several thousand patients a day in our outpatient clinic so parking is busy!)
FYI: The Library is on the 3d floor of Building 2 on the south side of the campus.
If you have questions about the meeting, feel free to contact Miriam Muallem miriam.muallem@hcahealthcare.com wk- 972-566-7579. If you need assistance with directions, please contact Shirley Campbell Shirley.campbell2@va.gov wk- 214-857-1251
