George Fox and Providence Newberg Medical Center will host a public health forum featuring Dr. David Barker – a physician and researcher who discovered the relationship between birth weight and the risk of coronary heart disease – from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21, in Wood-Mar Auditorium.

Barker, a physician and professor of clinical epidemiology at the University of Southampton in England and a professor in the Department of Medicine and the Heart Research Center at Oregon Health and Science University, will speak on “Halting the Epidemic of Diabetes and Heart Disease.”

The forum is free and open to the public. In addition to seating in Wood-Mar Auditorium, a live feed of the presentation will be available in Hoover 105.

Barker, MD, PhD, is internationally renowned for what was named the “Barker Hypothesis” by the British Medical Journal in 1995. In 1989, with University of Southampton colleagues, he showed for the first time that people who had low birth weight are at greater risk of developing coronary heart disease. His theory is now widely accepted in the medical community.

ater studies he conducted showed that low birth weight also is associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure, stroke, and Type 2 diabetes. In all, Barker has published more than 200 papers and written or edited five books about the developmental origins of chronic disease.

His Oregon connection began in 2003, when he joined the faculty at the Heart Research Center at OHSU to study how nutrition and growth before birth and during early childhood alter the development of the heart. He is a research partner with Dr. Kent Thornburg, a member of the George Fox Board of Trustees and a 1967 George Fox graduate. Thornburg helped arrange the forum.

In case students ask, Bon Appetit recently made a change with its serving lines at lunch to increase efficiency and speed up the lines.

Based upon the suggestions of approximately 50 business students, the same menu selections are now available on both serving lines without reducing the number of selections and variety. The feedback has been positive thus far; however, there is a perception that the number of menu choices have been reduced. Please be assured the variety and selection have not changed whatsoever, and we’re still preparing the same number of choices as before.

Many thanks to those who have given us their feedback. We’re now investigating the feasibility of doing the same at dinner. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Based upon the suggestions of approximately 50 business students, we have begun putting the same menu selections on both serving lines without reducing the number of selections and variety. Thus far we’ve received many positive comments about how much easier it is to get in and out quickly; however, there is a perception we’ve reduced the number of menu choices. Please be assured the variety and selection have not changed whatsoever, and we’re still preparing the same number of choices as before.
