Cover story The Voice of Lakewood.
Amid the high disproportionate rate of trauma injuries at Jersey Shore University Medical Center coming from Lakewood we can no longer stand idly by.

$250,000 facility new 911 system and a backup emergency management center

APP  watch Video below
The township unveiled a new 911 system and a backup emergency management center Wednesday.

Here are five important things to know about the changes:

1. No other city in the U.S. has a 911 system like this. The upgrade includes a software app developed by Bernards-based Avaya, which is debuting the system in Lakewood. The system allows callers to share their exact location with dispatchers with the push of a button. With existing 911 systems, dispatchers often can't pinpoint where mobile emergency calls are coming from. The location comes from a query made to the cellular carrier, and is often inaccurate, Avaya's Mark J. Fletcher explained.

Anti vaxxers attend lecture on vaccines by R' Akiva Tatz

The Peach movement made a showing at Rabbi Akiva Tatz lecture held in Chemed this Motzei Shabbos. Rabbbi Tatz spoke about the importance of vaccinating in today's day, how it has become the norm and since it is accepted by most of the population than that is the right thing to do with the concept of Shomer Pesayim hashem.  A group of the anti vaxxers movement (which is a new trend in Lakewood growing like a weed) were on hand to spread their shittos and to try to refute what is accepted as basic medical research. R' Tatz told them unless they have proof  to their claims such as autism is a result of vaccines they have no basis to their arguments. A noted Pediatrician from Brooklyn recently spoke about the dangers this new movement in Lakewood is posing to the health of children. read here http://hefkervelt.blogspot.com/2015/02/prominent-brooklyn-pediatrician.html
