the healing power of seaweed soup

Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck, New Jersey is launching at Korean Medical Program to serve the growing number of residents from Korea in the metro-area: A warm welcome for Koreans. More than 36,000 Koreans live in Bergen County, according to the 2000 census, with concentrations in Palisades Park, Fort Lee, Ridgefield and Leonia. The hospital has added 50 Korean-speaking doctors to the medical staff, hired two full-time staffers to interpret for Korean patients, and will offer Korean cable television stations in patient rooms. And best of all, they've got Korean food on the menu. Awwww yeah. Seaweed soup.
