 Local Singer Songwriter and Artist, Senora May is putting her talents to work to help women and children needing escape from domestic violence. 
From her Facebook Page:
"October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month! I wrote a song for all the little ones who are trapped at home with no haven of a public school, or other outlets, during this pandemic. I will not forget them, and you can't either! I am donating all the proceeds from this project to Hope's Wings, a domestic violence program in Richmond, KY. Together, we can support the protection and aid of local women and children who need an escape from abuse.

https://www.hopeswings.org for more information.

Clark Regional Medical Center Marks National Nurses Month, Celebrates the Year of the Nurse

5/6/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Clark Regional Medical Center is proud to join the American Nurses Association (ANA) in celebrating National Nurses Month this May, in an expanded recognition of the positive impact our nurses have on the health and well-being of our community. National Nurses Week – observed annually May 6-12 – honors the men and women around the country who have dedicated their lives to caring for those who are at their most vulnerable and in need. This year, as the invaluable contributions of nurses have gained increased awareness amid the fight against COVID-19, that celebration is being extended into a National Nurses Month.
 
“Our heroic nurses are always on the front lines of caring for the sick and injured,” said Barbara Kinder, chief clinical officer of Clark Regional Medical Center. “Their compassion, clinical expertise and servant leadership are fundamental to our ability to provide the high-quality care our patients have come to rely on. I am so proud to celebrate and honor their hard work – and not just during Nurses Month, but year-round. Their impact is an essential part of our mission of Making Communities Healthier.”
 
The roots of National Nurses Week can be traced back to 1953, when U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare employee Dorothy Sutherland suggested a national day of recognition for nurses. After a series of proclamations and resolutions through the decades, the American Nurses Association affirmed a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress by establishing May 6 as National Nurses Day in 1982. The ANA expanded the celebration to a week in 1991 and, in 1993, designated May 6-12 as the permanent annual dates to mark National Nurses Week.
 
In addition to this year’s expanded, month-long observance, the World Health Organization (WHO) has also declared 2020 as the Year of the Nurse. It is another well-deserved recognition for a group of professionals that could not have come at a more appropriate time.

The community will notice apricot bows around the facility. The Kentucky Nurses Association has launched the Apricot Ribbon Campaign to support nurses in a unique way that honors social distancing while lifting spirits. The color of the ribbon chosen has significance. Apricot serves as the color of nursing and displays optimism and warmth. These are visible reminders of the tireless efforts and dedication demonstrated by our nurses and all front line healthcare workers.​

“By their very nature, nurses are special people who are committed to selflessly serving and caring for others no matter the circumstance,” Kinder says. “During our fight against COVID-19, our nurses have truly stepped up and are making countless sacrifices daily to ensure the safety of patients and each other, and to help protect our community. They are heroes in every sense of the word.”
 
Clark Regional Medical Center is encouraging our community members to leave their own special note of thanks at www.thankahealthcarehero.com.

We had the distinct pleasure of hosting Kevin Dalton and Tommy Cate of Kevin Dalton and the Tuesday Blooms back in January. Kevin and Tommy spoke with us about the music, the shows and the need for Tuesday Blooms merchandise! It was a great time and a great show as we revisited their appearance at the Steam Engine and did some foot stomping along with their live performance. Enjoy the full show below and be sure to find Kevin and the Tuesday Blooms on social media. When this dreaded quarantine is over, you MUST see them in concert! (and ask about shirts :-)

Powell County Covid Crisis Center Opens

3/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Beginning this Tuesday, we will be opening our Powell County Covid Crisis Center. We will feature a dedicated hotline for information on how to keep yourself safe, staffed with volunteers.

Additionally, for our vulnerable population, we will offer pickup and delivery of medications and grocery staples from any of our local grocers. We request that all orders be pre-paid via credit/debit card, or with a gift card, check or money order. Due to public health concerns, we will not be able to accept cash for orders.

We ask that you please contact our facility on Tuesday to place your grocery order in advance, and to make any requests regarding medication pickup. We will deliver medications on Tuesdays and groceries on Wednesdays. Initially this program will be limited to 20 persons and will expand as necessary depending on available resources, but your local government is dedicated to ensuring that all of our population feels safe and has their needs met during this difficult time.

We will provide the phone number on Tuesday morning via this social media feed, and on WSKV 104.9 FM. Bear with us in the early stages of this program, as any effort this large-scale will require some tweaks, but we look forward to assisting Powell County and working through this together. #TeamKentucky
