The 2007 Designer Showhouse of New Jersey helped to bring “Tomorrows

Breakthroughs Today" through a month-long event benefiting The Cancer

Center at Hackensack University Medical Center. The third annual Designer

Showhouse provided a window into one of Bergen County’s most charming

homes, a newly constructed American Colonial Revivial-style, set on two

secluded acres in Saddle River. Kicking off the event was a preview party

where the top interior and landscape designers from New York and New

Jersey who created the decorating masterpiece were introduced.

The showhouse opened its doors to thousands of people who enjoyed

touring the house, dining at an on-site café, and shopping.

Digest and Metropolitan Home magazines as one of the Design 100 and by

Town and Country magazine as one of the Top 12 Designers in America.

The Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation hosted

its annual recognition event “An Evening at 7 World Trade Center.”

The medical center offered its guests an incredible view of a

spectacular golden Harvest moon, gracing the famed nighttime

skies of Manhattan, on the 52nd floor, which complemented a

cocktail reception, seated tasting with wine pairing, and dancing.

“We were truly delighted for the opportunity to join together for

this magnificent evening,” said John P. Ferguson, president and

year celebrating with our friends and supporters in New York City,

and it’s a pride shared by every member of the HUMC team as

Center at HUMC is home to New Jersey’s largest and most

comprehensive cancer center program. Each year, more

The Next Generation in Medical Preparedness

The first Emergency Mobile Trauma Unit and several support vehicles have been

delivered to HUMC and are ready for field testing and deployment. In less than

a year after Congressman Steve Rothman (D-NJ) and United States Senators

Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) announced the allocation

of $3.2 million in federal funding to HUMC to develop the first-ever mobile

hospital, the units are now ready and available for use in responding to bioterror

attacks and other mass casualty incidents in urban areas.

The MACH-1 (Mobile Emergency Trauma Department) is a 43-foot box truck

with expandable sides is fully outfitted with seven critical care beds having

monitor-defibrillator capability, portable digital X-ray unit, telemedicine

capability, portable field laboratory, small pharmaceutical cache, overhead

medical procedure lighting, and on-board medical gases. It is a rapidly

deployable, fully functional mobile ETD staffed by HUMC emergency

physicians, nurses and operations personnel. It is able to respond to large-

scale incidents that result in the need for an on-site ETD and can be

pre-deployed to expected events like hurricanes or other expected events

based on intelligence. It is self-sufficient for 72 hours.

The MCALSV (Mass Casualty Advanced Life Support Vehicle) is designed and

constructed to carry support equipment for the MACH-1 by providing on-scene

communications and links back to the medical center as well as the NJ Health

Command Center, Office of Emergency Management, and the Medical

Coordination Centers. It contains additional supplies for the MACH-1 and

is staffed by operations personnel.

A third vehicle, the BIRV (Biological Incident Response Vehicle), staffed by

operations personnel, carries specialized testing and monitoring equipment

such as HUMC’s BIO Veris M1M Analyzer and other vital communication

equipment that can go directly into the incident site for rapid identification

of biological agents.

The first mobile emergency response prototype was introduced with

a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
