NCI and FNL Researchers Turn Lessons Learned into Stepping Stones

Take Your Child to Work Day is rapidly approaching. The much-anticipated annual event, which takes place on June 26 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., will feature nearly 40 activities and programs, including old favorites and exciting new arrivals.

Occupational Health Services (OHS) is making strides in creating a comprehensive workplace health program at NCI at Frederick and the Frederick National Laboratory—literally and figuratively. In recent months, the group held two walks, started a weekly walking group, and distributed health-related educational information. Its most recent achievement is establishing the Wellness Committee, a team of 15 employees who represent the many groups at NCI at Frederick and the Frederick National Laboratory.

The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Department provides the Help Desk as a valuable resource to both our internal and external customers. Our talented and knowledgeable staff are available to assist with a wide variety of questions, concerns, or issues. Please read below for a better understanding of the services provided as well as some tips (including what information is needed to expedite your request).

Every year, an event in Frederick attracts people from all over the county. Amid its semi-festive atmosphere, attendees promenade through displays showcasing collaborative projects while speakers tell true stories of impressive feats and judges award prizes for outstanding handiwork. But it’s not the Great Frederick Fair—it’s the Fort Detrick Spring Research Festival.

With the school year nearly over, classes are the last thing that many students want to think about—but not at NCI at Frederick and the Frederick National Laboratory. Here, Werner H. Kirsten (WHK) student interns Emme Tissue and Esteban Garcia aren’t just contemplating class, they’re teaching them. On May 23, now recognized as National Stop the Bleed Day, the two high school seniors led a Stop the Bleed training course for nearly a dozen employees at the Frederick National Laboratory’s Vaccine Pilot Plant.
