Letter to our Communities

By

To our community – As we continue to see a dramatic increase of COVID-19 cases in our communities, we – as the leaders of your local healthcare systems – are urging you to do your part to reduce the spread. The rise of COVID-19 cases is having a significant impact on our hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes. It is draining our resources such as beds, PPE (masks, gloves, gowns), supplies, and our most valuable resource: our staff. An increase in community spread is having a significant impact on our staffing levels, as our employees on the front lines are affected by high-risk exposures or direct illness. While some people may not be very sick with COVID-19, they still have the possibility to spread the virus to others, who can become very ill or even die. We want to protect the elderly and other vulnerable people from getting ... Continue Reading

Thanks to the Hutchinson High School Football Team for helping create awareness!  check out the ... Continue Reading

October is Safe Sleep Awareness Month

By

October is Safe Sleep and SIDS Awareness Month. Approximately 3,500 infants die annually in the United States from sleep-related infant deaths, including sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) and SIDS disproportionately impact families of color, especially Black, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and low-income families. Why is creating awareness about safe sleeping methods important? Dr. Leah Willson one of pediatricians has first hand experience. “In the 80’s, I lost an infant in my practice to SIDS every one or two years. SIDS is a horrible tragedy for families, and millions of dollars has been spent to research it. However, in the 90’s when we began to teach parents to put babies to sleep on their backs, there was immediately a steep decline in cases. Such a simple intervention, with ... Continue Reading
