Business in Atlanta

To film more nurses for CorizonTV, I got home from Idaho on Tuesday night, then left the next Monday morning for Atlanta, to go to another jail.

Since our Chief Nursing Officer, Becky Pinney and I are good friends, she invited me to stay at her house since she lives in Atlanta. (Click HERE to see more more Becky fun.) Her sister, Barbara and husband Lawson live in Atlanta, too, so Becky treated us all to dinner at this "fancy-schmancy" restaurant called "Empire State South." The incredibly expensive food was fabulous, and the presentation was sublime!

Fabulous Meal: (appetizer) In Jars Toasted French bread pieces to dip in a variey of  "jars" of deviled ham, trout mousse, pickles, pimento cheese & bacon marmalade, boiled peanut hummus.  (my favorite was of course the one with BACON.) My dinner was Darby Farms Chicken Roulade - Rolled chicken in garlic broth: cranberry beans, smoked tomato, mustard greens. My dessert was Szechuan Chocolate flourless chocolate cake, ganache, red currants, almond milk granita, szechuan brittle, chocolate smear.  The other photos are the other desserts at the table...

The next day I went to film another CorizonTV segment called "A Day in the Life of a Corizon Nurse" at the Gwinnett County Detention Center in Lawrenceville, GA. We worked with a great group of nurses and detention staff and got some wonderful footage! This will be a very cool segment, launching October 1st.

My drive home from Atlanta was gorgeous!

 

 

Back at home in Tennessee, we filmed some more nurses from the TN DOC last week.

 

 

Some other goings-on recently, Corizon just launched an innovative new "ReEntry Website" to assist inmates who are being released and entering back into the community by providing resources for employment, medical care, housing, etc. We are being featured in magazines, on industry talk shows, etc.  The two guys behind the website were in Nashville recently for some training, so I had to get a photo of them.

Ralf Salke and Dr. Mark Fleming -- Um...they're a little bit Cuh-razy!

The fun just NEVER ENDS at CORIZON...
