Philadelphia University was renamed Thomas Jefferson University when it merged with Jefferson in 2017. A private university in Philadelphia, Jefferson recently celebrated the opening of its College of Health Professions Physician Assistant Program in Voorhees, New Jersey, about half an hour outside of Philadelphia.

Dr. Michael Dryer, dean of the Jefferson College of Health Professions, said the program’s move to Voorhees will give students a convenient, all-inclusive location to study very close to the Jefferson Health New Jersey facilities.

The new campus features up-to-date technology, including an anatomy lab equipped with 12 cadaver tables, computers at each station, and access to Apple TV for online learning and research. The campus also has a simulation center that includes auscultation (vital sign) simulators and an adult patient simulator, as well as primary care, inpatient, and emergency room training areas.

A Certified Public Accountant, Larry Wittig operates as the managing partner of Wittig CPAs in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania. Moreover, Larry Wittig serves as the president of Tamaqua Transfer & Recycling Inc., which serves the community by properly disposing of waste.

Aluminum recycling is one of the most lucrative types of recycling. Organizations in the aluminum-production and -recycling industries often work with other businesses, community leaders, and individuals to promote increased use of industrial and curbside recycling programs. In addition to used drink cans, aluminum is recycled from products such as automobiles, window frames, wire, tubing, and electronics.

A highly sought-after metal due to the cost savings of recycling over producing it, aluminum is more valuable than any other item in the recycling bin. Many Americans waste aluminum by throwing the items made from or containing it into the trash, amounting to an estimated lost value of $700 million worth of aluminum annually. Recycling aluminum also saves energy; one beverage container can conserve enough power to listen to a complete album on a digital-music device.
