louis kraml free children screening initiative

Louis Kraml, administrator of Bingham Memorial Hospital, has launched a commendable initiative that will allow over one hundred children that live in Idaho to benefit from free screening; in addition to this, some of them will also receive free treatment. It’s a fantastic initiative and we would like to see many more like this happen throughout the entire U.S.A.Another commendable initiative of Mr. Kraml is the recruiting campaign that was launched under the “Play Where You Work” campaign at Bingham Memorial. Doctors are encouraged to move to Idaho and work there, becase the state has won the “best place to work for medical personnel” award for the second year in a row. More information about this can be found at the Louis Kraml blog post which can be found at the APAO Sydney medical site. Great job, Louis Kraml!
