Backpacks should never weigh more than 10 to 20 percent of a kids’ body weight, the American Academy of Pediatrics advises. Northwest Radiology Musculoskeletal Radiologist Dr. Catherine King talked with Fox 59 about how to select a backpack and safety tips when wearing a backpack in order to prevent injuries.

It’s an essential part of the back-to-school supply list — a backpack. But according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, from 2017 to 2019, an estimated annual average of 7,500 kids under 19 years old were treated in emergency rooms for injuries related to backpacks. Northwest Radiology Musculoskeletal Radiologist Dr. Catherine King talked with WTHR-TV about what injuries are caused by heavy and improperly-fitting backpacks and what you can do to prevent those injuries.

After helping feed 255 servings of food to the homeless at Wheeler Mission in 2021, Dr. Laura Dugan, a body imaging radiologist with Northwest Radiology, and her husband, Bob, told WTHR-TV they wanted to double that amount in 2022. They worked with their friend, Los Arroyos General Manager Leon Nicholson, along with other local restaurants, to make a food donation for more than 500 people.

Dr. Laura Dugan, a body imaging radiologist with Northwest Radiology, and her husband, Bob, turned their Buffalo Wild Wings reward points into a major food donation to Wheeler Mission. They also teamed up with their friend, Los Arroyos General Manager Leon Nicholson, who reached out to additional restaurants to help them feed more than 500 people. WISH-TV’s Amicia Ramsey highlighted the donation.

Northwest Radiology Neuroradiologist Dr. Brian Jellison joins his wife, Dr. Bobbie Jellison, to talk with Fox 59 about the program they founded, Jovial Family Farm, and how it provides seniors, their families and their communities engagement and meaning through urban agrarian and culinary activities.
