Children’s Museum in partnership with Intermountain Healthcare adds a Life Flight Rescue Hangar with three new interactive experiences.
Thanks to our long-time community partnership with Intermountain Healthcare, we are thrilled to unveil the latest addition of the Saving Lives exhibit.”

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, US, June 27, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On June 24, 2017 the third phase of Intermountain Saving Lives exhibit will open at Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum. In 2006 Intermountain Healthcare donated a Life Flight helicopter for an exhibit called Saving Lives from the Sky. In August 2013, the exhibit was updated to include a Primary Children’s Hospital Emergency Department, featuring interactive areas for triage, imaging, dress up, charge nurse, and surgery. It was renamed Saving Lives. The exhibit is expanding once again to include three additional experiences housed in an entire new building —the Intermountain Life Flight Rescue Hangar.
The Intermountain Life Flight Rescue Hangar has several new interactives where children can discover the supporting roles of a rescue team including a flight simulation experience with two flight missions to rescue an injured hiker or snowboarder, a hoist activity with two missions to secure and transport and injured hiker or snowboarder to Primary Children’s Hospital, and a mechanic’s shed activity, complete with an authentic helicopter engine and toddler activities.
“Intermountain Life Flight’s goal is to provide the community we serve with access to excellent, safe, rapid, and cost-effective healthcare during transport. We recognize that this happens during a time when our patients are at their most vulnerable and family members are often frightened and overwhelmed. Whether we travel by helicopter, airplane, or ground ambulance, we will do everything we can to provide a healing environment to those entrusted to our care,” said Pamela Moore, Executive Director for Intermountain Life Flight.
“Thanks to our long-time community partnership with Intermountain Healthcare, we are thrilled to unveil the latest addition of the Saving Lives exhibit, which provides children and families additional educational opportunities and learning through play,” explains Discovery Gateway’s Executive Director Laurie Hopkins.
The expanded exhibit will also feature picnic tables, additional benches for seating, and sunshades to allow for a comfortable place for museum visitors to rest and enjoy a refreshment.

Jonathan Carey "Champion for the Disabled" Born September 12,1993 Killed by caregivers on February 15,2007
Gov. Cuomo’s fraudulent whitewash Justice Center was primarily set up to cover-up most reported crimes and deaths of people with disabilities
This fraudulent state agency that is directly under the control and authority of Governor Andrew Cuomo is taking in on average 7,800 calls to its abuse hotline for the disabled every month. ”

DELMAR, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, June 27, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Backroom deals, secret meetings and how do we continue to protect ourselves and our schemes from coming to light and continue to control everything? What a horrible way to live and this certainly is not leadership, this is without question, collusion and corruption of the worst type. When people literally plan out how they can cover-up thousands of rapes and deaths of innocent children and adults with disabilities that are occurring in mental health facilities and group homes under your authority it is time for federal intervention and federal investigations. These practices violate numerous federal laws and are outright evil.
The Justice Center for the Protection of People with Special Needs (Justice Center) is not a Justice Center, but literally almost the exact opposite. This fraudulent state agency that is directly under the control and authority of Governor Andrew Cuomo is taking in on average 7,800 calls to its abuse hotline for the disabled every month. Everyone knows that these horrifying numbers reveal massive systemic failures that jeopardize the safety, health and lives of our most vulnerable and that this is only the tip of the iceberg. Most rapes, physical and sexual assault crimes and deaths of this population of people that cannot speak or defend themselves because of their disabilities will never be reported and are purposefully internally covered-up. There is massive systemic problem of rampant abuse and neglect, as well as staggering numbers of deaths, occurring in New York State’s extremely dangerous and deadly mental health care system which is compromised of both state and private sun-contracted entities. Eleven to thirteen deaths are reported on average every single day, to Governor Cuomo’s wrongfully named Justice Center. Most deaths of these deaths are never reported to County District Attorney’s or County Medical Examiners or Coroners. What is going on is hard to wrap your mind around, how can such things happen? I will tell you, when you set up a system that is completely discriminatory and separate from the normal 911 call system and criminal justice system for the disabled, you can pretty much cover-up practically everything, that is until you are caught and exposed.
The Justice Center has been and continues to be exposed in a big way for the fraud it is by both the AP News and by BuzzFeed News. I have attached some of these investigative news pieces;

For many decades New York State has treated the disabled and those struggling with mental illness as a sub class of human being, or in other terms the bottom of the barrel and has used them for financial gain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbiYJkiX-Dg. New York State, under the guise of a “Justice Center” is hiding and concealing most of the crimes, the severe damages and loss of innocent life as a direct result of the known fraud and corruption.
Jonathan Carey, my son, was developmentally disabled and had autism and he was only 13 when he was killed by his caregivers in 2007 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/06/nyregion/boys-death-highlights-crisis-in-homes-for-disabled.html - http://www.nytimes.com/video/nyregion/100000000849083/a-failure-to-protect.html . Jonathan is one of many hundreds of innocent people with disabilities dying long before they should every year because of a corrupt system that uses the disabled for financial gain and profit.
Has the State of New York taken any actions to rectify these problems? The answer is no. Not only has Governor Cuomo not taken any significant actions to stop or prevent these horrors, he just temporally ensured that the most important and genuine historic reform legislation to much better protect 1,000,000 New Yorkers with disabilities and finally ensure their equal rights and equal access to 911 first responder medical and police services was blocked from becoming law.
The historic 911 Civil Rights Reform Bill would simply require those that work with the disabled to call 911 if there is a medical emergency, including a death, significant injuries of a person with a disability or if there was a physical or sexual assault which are crimes. The 911 Civil Rights Bill really is that simple. Who would oppose this, but people that have things to hide? Bypassing 91 is extremely dangerous and is obviously deadly, but it appears many people in position of authority, simply do not care.
Again, who would oppose such an amazing lifesaving and discrimination ending 911 Civil Rights reform bill” The answer, Governor Cuomo and everyone involved in providing grossly negligent care and services for our most vulnerable. Many of the very people that swore oaths to uphold and honor the Constitution and to uphold justice are the very ones opposed to the Constitution and to justice for people with disabilities. It is time for the people and their true representatives to rise up and let their voices to be heard, more than ever before in history. It has been said that evil prevails only when good people do nothing. Speak up and speak out against these horrific injustices and tell Governor Cuomo that he cannot continue to treat people with disabilities unequally and as lower class citizens. Tell Governor Cuomo to honor his own oaths and responsibilities and to fight for equal rights for everyone, not just his hand selected groups of people that contribute to him. People with disabilities and their family members make up approximately 30% of our population. We the people can and must be the ones that force such basic reforms to finally get immediate 911 medical and police assistance and services for people with disabilities.
