Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet’s Track Record of Training Professional Dancers Speaks for Itself

Published on in Business/Community/News

For serious ballet students aiming for professional careers, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet’s 5-Week Summer Ballet Program is dedicated to the growth of its dancers. “When you return home, teachers are surprised by the amount of improvement their students have made in a mere five weeks,” says Nicholas Ade, CEO of CPYB.

The secret to CPYB’s success in training generations of professional dancers is founder Marcia Dale Weary’s curriculum that emphasizes clarity of technique, which the school has championed since 1955. Ade adds that the faculty are hyper-focused on student improvement above all else: “There isn’t a set company ‘style’ you are trying to assimilate your dancing to. You have guest teachers from all different backgrounds to improve your technique so that you can be molded into any type of dancer.” Alumni have graced rosters at companies such as New York City Ballet, Boston Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and Houston Ballet.

Hemophilia Treatment Center of Central Pennsylvania celebrates 50th anniversary

Published on in Event/Health/News

In its 50 years of existence, the Hemophilia Treatment Center of Central Pennsylvania at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center has led a major breakthrough in the treatment of hemophilia, enrolled 1,154 patients with inherited bleeding disorders, and provided care to patients from birth to death. The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center established the center in March 1973 under the leadership of Dr. M. Elaine Eyster.

In 1965, Dr. Judy Pool, a physiologist, developed a method for separating the antihemophilic factor, or factor VIII, which is used for transfusion to correct the bleeding defect in hemophilia, from blood plasma. She was then able to create a cold-insoluble protein fraction of whole blood plasma. This concentrate could be refrozen and stored up to a year, allowing hemophiliacs to be treated more easily than ever before.
