HOSPITAL GETS GRANT FOR PEDIATRIC AIDS CENTER

A New Jersey hospital is getting a $1.3 million grant to establish a national children's AIDS resource center, the federal government announced Saturday.

Children's Hospital of New Jersey, a unit of United Hospitals Medical Center, will act as a national clearinghouse for physicians and other health professionals who need up-to-date information on the disease and how it affects children.

The hospital already has a pediatric AIDS unit directed by Dr. James Oleske, who was the first in the nation to detect acquired immune deficiency syndrome in children. - Associated Press
