TTUHSC students enjoying their experience in Odessa

Growing up, Cody Clapp never wanted to be the classic astronaut or monster truck driver . Clapp’s go-to answer was a cardio-thoracic surgeon. Now he could be on his way as a third- year medical student at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine at the Permian Basin. Clapp, of Dennison, is one of a class of 21 welcomed to the Permian Basin during a July Odessa Chamber of Commerce reception. The Odessa American also spoke to his peers Elsa Parra from San Antonio, Victoria Phan of Dallas and David Stamps of Phoenix. “I was kind of a weird kid,” Clapp said. “I had a severe illness when I was 9. I was hospitalized for a month. Just interacting with doctors in the health care system there it just confirmed that was exactly what I wanted to do.” Clapp said he had a severe case of pneumonia that progressed into empyema. The Healthline website said empyema is a condition where “pus gathers in the area between the lungs and the inner surface of the chest wall.” He wa...

At Stratford House, a renovation celebration | Business

The new owner of Stratford House promised to invest $3.5 million to expand services and upgrade the senior living facility when it changed hands in July 2016 — and on Tuesday, the top-to-bottom renovations at Commonwealth Senior Living at Stratford House were unveiled. The grand, old building — built in 1884 and added on to several times over during its life as a women’s college and senior living center — has fresh paint, new carpet, furniture and décor. And many rooms have been repurposed to make moving around to various activities easier for the residents while adding more amenities. Even residents’ apartments were renovated. The combination of independent living and assisted living apartments means residents in independent living apartments who need to move into quarters where intensive care is offered only move a short distance and are still in familiar surroundings. *** Resident Ed Smith joined Richard Brewer , CEO of the Commonwealth Senior Living facilit...

Luxury Student Housing Rises in Bronx’s Little Italy" width="696" height="522" />CONSTRUCTION SITE FOR future luxury unit marketed for students on Hoffman Street in Belmont, a few blocks from Fordham University . Photo by Jacob Shore For Fordham University students, living off campus is a respite from on- campus housing prices and its rules. It’s worked for Brendan Batcheller, a senior at Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business. The public accounting major said living off campus is markedly cheaper than living within Fordham’s gates. “The cost of a year’s rent for us is less than nine months’ worth of living in a dorm,” Batcheller said in an email. “There is definitely a greater sense of independence living off campus–having to deal with a landlord, p...

We love New York business. Here are 25 reasons why

Image
1. If you can make it here… New York has long been the ultimate testing ground for businesses. But the city’s population density also makes it an important laboratory for startups, especially in today’s on-demand economy. Food- delivery pioneer Seamless survived the dot-com crash, paving the way for the arrival of meal-kit services such as Blue Apron and Plated a decade later. Related View this story in its original print layout Density has also been instrumental to the growth of ride-hailing and car-sharing companies. Most of them, including Uber and Lyft first gained their footing in smaller cities, then made New York their biggest market. Via, the on-demand ride-pooling service, launched here in 2013, is the exception: Its founders chose New York, figuring riders packed together on subways and buses wouldn’t need much persuading to share a car with strangers, especially when it cost just $5. article continues below advertisement App- based transportation startups have flocked t...
