Therein lies a most fundamental principle.” Last week we celebrated Diversity Day at DHS. It was a wonderful occasion featuring musical presentations, multicultural refreshments and two very powerful speakers, Deputy Chief of Staff to Governor Corzine, Jeannine LaRue and former Secretary of State, the Reverend Dr. DeForest B. Soaries, Jr. Jeannine told a compelling story about a specific personal experience with prejudice that could have made her bitter and resentful but instead made her stronger and more generous in spirit. The decision to embrace rather than reject differences changed her life. It’s a crossroad we must all face. If we’re fortunate, we’ll do so with the grace and determination that Jeannine did. Our key-note speaker, Rev. Dr. Soaries spoke eloquently about expressing diversity in our actions and in our words. In his captivating, story-telling style, Dr. Soaries illustrated several thought-provoking anecdotes as only he can. He is a man who walks the talk. We were so honored to have him with us. I believe that the diversity of an organization’s workforce creates and maintains the vitality therein. Here at DHS, we serve over a million individuals in our community, and our mission takes us across multiple ethnicities, physical abilities, religions and languages. Diversity enhances our ability to serve others. I’d like to thank the Board of Public Utilities for making this event possible. I’d also like to recognize the Office of Diversity Management and Inclusion, the Office of Administration, the Office of Publications, the Human Services Police Department Honor Guard and Office of Facilities Management for their hard work and coordination in hosting this very special event. DIVISION NEWS Division of Mental Health Services (DMHS) The new Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital was unveiled on November 1st with great fanfare during a  HYPERLINK "http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/Press-2007/greystone.htm" ribbon-cutting ceremony with Governor Jon S. Corzine and Senate President Richard J. Codey. The event brought dignitaries from both political parties together to celebrate the historic event. Also, Hagedorn Psychiatric Hospital celebrated its 100th anniversary on October 26th. Patients and staff enjoyed an event with local dignitaries and hospital retirees. Hagedorn has a rich history of serving patients. Throughout the 20th century the hospital was both a TB Sanitarium and Geriatric Center prior to becoming a psychiatric facility. Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) On November 1, a toll-free number (1-888-393-3007) was activated and made available to DDD contracting agencies, families, consumers and caregivers to provide crisis response throughout the state to the DDD community. Callers will speak directly with a mental health professional, and if needed, receive a personal, on-site visit within two hours. Division of Disability Services (DDS) DDS would like readers to know that the NJ Modular Ramp and Long-Tread, Low-Riser Step Program is available to residents of Union and Middlesex Counties. The  HYPERLINK "http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/dds/njmrp.htm" program provides independence to individuals with disabilities, whose primary residence (private home or apartment) is not currently accessible. DHS Program Integrity and Accountability Information regarding MRSA -- including frequently asked questions about appearance, symptoms and treatment -- can be found on the Department of Health and Senior Services  HYPERLINK "http://www.state.nj.us/health/cd/mrsa/index.shtml" website. As with all infectious diseases, the use of universal precautions is essential. DHS Facilities Support and Emergency Services If any readers are interested in a charitable response to the California Wildfire recovery effort, the member organizations of the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) are urging those who wish to contribute to consider  HYPERLINK "http://www.aidmatrixnetwork.org/californiafire" online monetary donations which assist those most in need to obtain goods and services independently and locally.
