Weekly Publication
MRHS Hires New Vision Coordinator Mena Regional Health System welcomes Bethany Hughes (pictured right) as the New Vision Service Coordinator. Kelsey Jaggers (pictured left) has been serving as the Intake Coordinator since August 2017, when MRHS began providing the service to this region. New Vision offers an inpatient stabilization service for adults with drug, alcohol, and related health issues. The service accepts appropriate adults, who are currently using or are experiencing acute withdrawal symptoms from certain drugs. It consists of a medically supervised hospital stay for inpatient stabilization that typically lasts 3 days. Prescription drugs are misused more often than any other drug, except marijuana and alcohol. This growth is fueled by misperceptions about prescription drug safety, and increasing availability. Treatment through New Vision can incorporate several components, including withdrawal management (detoxification), counseling, and the use of FDA approved addiction pharmacotherapies. Research has shown that a combined approach of meditation, counseling, and recovery services works best. For more information regarding a safe, hospital-based withdrawal management program, contact New Vision at 479-243-2280.

Elks Veteran Angel Tree
Every angel that was adopted from the Elk’s Lodge of Mena’s Veterans Angel Tree was returned in a spectacular show of support from the community. The angels helped brighten twenty-five local veterans’ holidays. Patricia Ann Stines of the Elks said the Lodge wished to tell everyone that helped and donated to the cause, “Thank you; humbly from all of the members of the Elks and from all the veterans that sincerely appreciate your generosity.”
