Colgate Mattress Hosts Press Conference Urging TPP Trade Deal Historic visit shines light on need to support small and medium-sized US manufacturers
America’s most trusted crib mattress company, Colgate Mattress, welcomed trade negotiators from 12 Trans Pacific nations and the US Conference of Mayors (USCM) during a recent tour of its family-owned factory. Atlanta (GA) Mayor Kasim Reed, who hosted the event and chairs USCM’s Transportation and Communications Committee, was joined by United States Trade Representative Ambassador Michael Froman, Little Rock (AR) Mayor Mark Stodola, Chair of the Conference’s Exports and Ports Task Force, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and Columbia (SC) Mayor Steven Benjamin. The visit was part of negotiations to complete a Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, which passed this week. A Tour of the Factory “We were honored to offer an up-close and personal factory experience to such a prestigious group. The buzz in the factory was incredible,” said Alan Wolkin, president of Colgate. “Handcrafting crib mattresses is a lost art, so we hope this gives our industry the exposure it deserves.”
During the tour, Mayor Reed closed a crib mattress with the help of a Colgate employee. What TPP Means to Small Businesses “Through TPP and our other trade agreements, we want to make it more possible to open markets and support good jobs," said Ambassador Froman. "TPP is the first trade agreement ever to have a particular focus on small and medium-sized businesses, to make sure TPP is working for companies like Colgate.” According to the Office of the United States Trade Representative, During the last five years, U.S. exports have hit record highs, reaching $2.34 trillion in 2014, up roughly 50% since 2009. Over 300,000 American companies export goods, 98% of which are small- and medium-sized businesses; Exports of goods and services supported 11.7 million jobs in the United States in 2014; “Expanding our distribution internationally can not only increase our need for additional employees, but also the volume of raw goods sourced here in the U.S.,” said Colgate Mattress President Alan Wolkin.
“This includes key components such as metal coils, foams and cover materials. If this policy is structured right—with businesses like Colgate in mind—our entire ecosystem of crib mattress manufacturing could benefit over the long haul.” The story was featured on many major news channels in Atlanta - including this segment on CBS46. reviewsBook this hotel and collect nights after your stayAt a glanceKey factsHotel sizeThis hotel has 251 roomsThis hotel is arranged over 9 floorsArriving/leavingCheck-in time starts at 4 PMCheck-out time is 11 AMExpress check-in/outRequired at check inCredit card or cash deposit required Government-issued photo ID required Minimum check-in age is 21 Travelling with othersPetsPets allowed * Restrictions apply * Extra peopleRollaway beds available, charges may apply*InternetWiFi and wired Internet access in public areas * WiFi and wired Internet access in rooms *TransportParkingSelf parking *Free cooked-to-order breakfastRestaurant Bar/lounge Room service Free reception Indoor poolFitness facilitiesSpa tubSaunaGolf lessons available nearbyGolfing nearbyBusiness centerConference spaceMeeting rooms 3Conference space size (feet) - 14000Conference space size (meters) - 130124-hour front deskDry cleaning/laundry serviceLaundry facilitiesLuggage storageWedding servicesPorter/bellhopElevator/liftATM/bankingSafe-deposit box at front deskTelevision in common areasIn-room accessibilityRoll-in showerIn-room climate control (air conditioning)Air conditioningCoffee/tea makerIron/ironing boardBlackout drapes/curtainsSofa bedSeparate living roomPrivate bathroomShower onlyFree toiletriesHair dryerFlat-screen TV Pay

For other similarly named hospitals, see Children's Hospital (disambiguation). Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) is a pediatric hospital with a Level I trauma center located in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is among the largest in the United States, serving children from birth to age 21. ACH is affiliated with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and serves as a teaching hospital with the UAMS College of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics.[2] ACH staff consists of more than 505 physicians, 200 residents, and 4,400 support staff members. The hospital includes 356 licensed beds, and offers three intensive care units.
The campus spans 36 city blocks and has a floor space totaling over 1,200,000 square feet (110,000 m2). Marcy Doderer is president & CEO of Arkansas Children's Hospital, succeeding Dr. Jonathan Bates after his 2013 retirement. Arkansas Children's is building a 233,613-square foot hospital in Springdale. Arkansas Children's Northwest will serve the 200,000 children who live in that 11-county area. Administrators say the facility will open in January 2018. Wal-Mart and the Wal-Mart Foundation have invested $8 million in the project, while J.B. Hunt has given $5 million toward the construction. First Lady of Arkansas Hillary Clinton served on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital Legal Services from 1988 to 1992. The Children's Hospital Association named Arkansas Children's Hospital a finalist for a Pediatric Quality Award in 2015. The organization highlighted ACH for its work to increase hand hygiene compliance rates among patient care staff. The 2016 list of "Best Doctors in America" features several physicians on staff at Arkansas Children's Hospital.
More than 100 additional physicians included in the list were affiliated more generally with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Health System[7] In 2011, Arkansas Children's Hospital set a national record for pediatric heart transplants conducted in a year. The hospital transplanted new hearts into 31 children and adults that year. The 2008 U.S. News & World Report included ACH in its ranking of top US pediatric medical facilities. Pediatricians nationwide were interviewed in order to rank hospitals on reputation, patient outcome, and care-related measures such as volume, nursing, and credentialing.[9] ACH was ranked 24th in general pediatrics and 28th in pediatric cardiovascular care and surgery. ACH is one of the largest employers in Arkansas and Fortune magazine named the hospital in its top 100 "Best Companies to Work For" in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. As Arkansas Children’s continued efforts to build a new hospital in Springdale, the Tyson family and Tyson Family Foods committed $15 million to the project, marking the largest gift the organization had ever received.
The gift created the Tyson Family Tower at Arkansas Children’s Northwest, anchoring the new facility which will include 233,613 square feet of inpatient beds, emergency care, diagnostic services and clinical space. In August 2016, Arkansas Children’s Research Institute announced that it had received a $9.4 million award from the National Institutes of Health’s Institutional Development Award program to create a center for the study of childhood obesity. Drs. Judith Weber and Elisabet Borsheim will lead the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence. The award marked the first COBRE program at Arkansas Children’s, and provided funding and support for the center’s first five years. In 2013, Arkansas Children’s Hospital successfully treated 12-year-old Kali Hardig for primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. Her case became national news because she is one of only two known survivors of this disease, which she contracted after swimming in a warm-water lake park. Physicians at Arkansas Children’s Hospital credit Kali’s mother Traci with acting swiftly to get her child to the Emergency Department, saving her life.
A team of laboratory staff, infectious disease physicians, critical care specialists and rehabilitation medicine experts worked with Kali for weeks to help her overcome the devastating illness. Anti-fungal medications and antibiotics were used. Physicians also contacted the CDC to get permission to use an experimental anti-amoeba drug that had to be shipped from the Atlanta headquarters. Arkansas Department of Health officials said 99 percent of people who contract the naegleria fowleri parasite die. Kali spent 22 days in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at ACH, followed by several weeks on the hospital’s rehabilitation floor before going home. In 2007 ACH treated the case of 20-month-old Jacob Esses, which spurred the recall of the Aqua Dots toy. After swallowing a number of the toy beads, 1,4-Butanediol coating the beads was metabolized to Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB, a recreational anesthetic).[16] The drug has been shown to cause unconsciousness, drowsiness, seizures, coma, or death.
ACH has been profiled a number of times on the Discovery Health Channel, perhaps most notably in the fall of 2007. The program “Surgery Saved My Life” examined how three physicians in the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Vascular Anomalies Center of Excellence handled patients’ potentially fatal vascular tumors. Featured in the documentary were James Suen, M.D., a head and neck surgeon at ACH and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS); Lisa Buckmiller, M.D., medical director of the ACH Vascular Anomalies Center; and Rick Jackson, M.D., a surgeon at the hospital and associate professor of Surgery in the UAMS College of Medicine. One patient featured in the profile was a 12-year-old girl who was born in Shanghai with what is believed to be the largest vascular tumor ever seen; Chinese surgeons had been reluctant to operate on the tumor. Discovery Health's "Extreme Surgery" has also featured the hospital. ACH holds accreditation with the following agencies:[20]
