Insurgents blow up bridge, abduct wife, kids
MICHELLE FAUL
AND IBRAHIM ABDULAZIZ
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YOLA, Nigeria — Islamic
ex t re m i s ts b l ew u p a
bridge, killed an unknown
number of people and
abducted the wife and two
children of a retired police
officer in northeast Nigeria, residents said Saturday
amid mounting condemnation by Muslims of the
Nigerian terrorist network
that abducted more than
300 schoolgirls nearly a
month ago.
News of Friday night’s
attack came as international efforts to help rescue the 276 missing girls
got under way.
A team of French experts
arrived Saturday in Nigeria, said an official in President Francois Hollande’s
office in Paris. He said
they are expert in collecting intelligence from technical and human sources
and in image analysis.
British security experts
arrived Friday to join
Nigerian and American
forces, and Britain said its
aim is not only to help in
the crisis over the girls but
to defeat Nigeria’s homegrown Boko Haram terrorist network.
International outrage at
the prolonged failure of
Nigeria’s military to rescue the girls was joined
Saturday by U.S. first
lady M ichelle Obama.
In a radio address on the
eve of the Sunday honoring mothers in the United
States she said she and
President Barack Obama
are “outraged and heartbroken” over the April 15
mass abduction.
“In these girls, Barack
and I see our own daughters,” Mrs. Obama said,
referring to Malia, 15, and
Sasha, 12. “We see their
hopes, their dreams and
we can only imagine the
anguish their parents are
feeling right now.”
One of them, the Rev.
Enoch Mark, described his
despair and anger at the
military for not finding
his two abducted daughters. “For a good 11 days,
our daughters were sitting
in one place,” he told The
Associated Press. “They
camped them near Chibok
(the town from which they
were abducted), not more
than 30 kilometers, and no
help in hand.”
A well-known Nigerian
Islamic scholar meanwhile
warned that having foreign soldiers on Nigerian
soil could escalate the
conflict and draw foreign
extremists to the West
African nation. Ahmed
Mahmud-Gumi, speaking
in northern Kaduna city on
Friday, said it “may trigger
waves of terrorism never
seen before.”
“Foreign terrorists are
eager to engage foreign
forces, making Nigeria just
another battle ground”
like Afghanistan and Iraq,
he said.
Former Nigerian military
ruler Gen. Ibrahim Babangida urged the country’s
Muslims to rise up against
the extremists sullying the
name of Islam.
“Islam enjoins you to
live peacefully with fellow human beings. ...
Therefore, anybody who
will come and smear our
name, all Muslims should
kick against that. Muslims
should also do everything
possible to stop this continued blackmail against
the religion of Islam,”
he said in an interview
Saturday with the BBC
Hausa Service.

Muslim Scholars cond e m n e d “ t h e te r r i b l e
crimes offensive to Islam”
and said the actions of
Boko Haram “are very far
from Islamic teachings.”
It called on Boko Haram
to immediately release the
girls, saying that threats to
sell them into slavery are
against Islamic Shariah
law. Boko Haram has said
it wants to enforce Shariah law across the entire
country though Nigeria’s
population of 170 million
is divided almost equally
between Christians and
Muslims. Shariah is pursued to varying degrees in
most northern states.

PHYSICIANS’ SURGERY CENTER, LLC OF CARBONDALE,
ILLINOIS ACHIEVES AAAHC ACCREDITATION
May 7, 2014, Carbondale, Illinois – Physicians’ Surgery Center, LLC has achieved accreditation by the Accreditation Association
for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). Accreditation distinguishes this ambulatory surgery center from many other outpatient
facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.
Status as an accredited organization means Physicians’ Surgery Center has met nationally recognized standards for the provision
of quality health care set by AAAHC. More than 5,000 ambulatory health care organizations across the United States are
accredited by AAAHC. Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation; not all that undergo the rigorous on-site
survey process are granted accreditation.
“We believe our patients deserve the best,” stated Stephen Renfro, Administrator of Physicians’ Surgery Center. “When you see
our certiicate of accreditation, you will know that AAAHC, an independent, not-for-proit organization, has closely examined
our facility and procedures. It means we as an organization care enough about our patients to strive for the highest level of care
possible.”
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by AAAHC undergo an extensive self-assessment and on-site survey
by AAAHC expert surveyors – physicians, nurses, and administrators who are actively involved in ambulatory health care.
The survey is consultative and educational, presenting best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.
“Going through the process challenged us to ind better ways to serve our patients, and it is a constant reminder that our
responsibility is to strive to continuously improve the quality of care we provide,” said Stephen Renfro, Administrator.
The surgery center was opened in 1985, originally owned and operated as the Carbondale Clinic Ambulatory Surgery Treatment
Center as a department of the Carbondale Clinic. The Clinic and the surgery center were sold to Southern Illinois Healthcare
Services (SIH) in November, 2007. The facility name was changed to Physicians’ Surgery Center, LLC as of December 2, 2007.
In 2008, the Physicians’ Surgery Center was syndicated and SIH owned 55% and individual physicians of the area owned 45%.
Physicians’ Surgery Center provides a facility where any one of the twenty two surgeons and physicians in different specialties
on our medical staff can perform elective, outpatient surgeries and procedures. These specialties include ENT, Gastroenterology,
General Surgery, GYN, Ophthalmology, Pain Management and Urology. Our web site is www.physicianssurgerycenter.org.
Procedures include cataract surgery, gall bladder removal and hernia repair, tonsils removed, sinus surgery, urological and
gynecological procedures, GI colonoscopies and pain management injections.
The facility has two operating rooms and one treatment room.
The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, founded in 1979, is the leader in ambulatory health care
accreditation with more than 5,000 organizations accredited nationwide. AAAHC accredits a variety of organizations including,
ambulatory surgery centers, ofice-based surgery centers, endoscopy centers, student health centers, military health care clinics,
and large medical and dental practices. AAAHC serves as an advocate for the provision of high-quality health care through the
development of nationally recognized standards and through its survey and accreditation programs. AAAHC accreditation is
recognized as a symbol of quality by third-party payers, medical organizations, liability insurance companies, state and federal
agencies and the public.
