Volume Eleven Number One

From the keyboard of Pam Hedge

A new arrival at the farm! A year long wait ended for us on July 15th, when the very first alpaca was born on the farm. I should say he is the first live birth we’ve had, since we lost one earlier in the month. That makes Mr. Jackson just that much more precious to us. He weighed a little over 13 pounds at birth and was all legs. Most alpacas have their crias during the day. Not our Sephra. She decided to have hers about nine o’clock in the evening. It’s not fun trying to help a new baby into the world with flashlights. But, we did it. Thanks so much to Theresa Delaware who came out to assist us. I think she’s about as proud of Jackson as we are. You’ll see a picture of her elsewhere in the magazine, holding him in her arms. It’s been an adventure and gives me even more reason to go out and sit on the back deck! •••••• I attended a great event in Estill County recently and it just made me believe in our small little town all that more. Estill Rising was put on by the Estill Development Alliance and the outpouring of participants from the community was heart warming. We had visitors from all over the state, plus Becky McCrae came to speak all the way from Oklahoma. It was very interesting to see the different ways smaller communities are coming together to survive this world we live in. We’ve got to do this together, as a community, to keep a thriving town, one welcoming to visitors.

Our Cover

The new mural at Ravenna Food Mart is beautiful! history, history that is good to share with our residents and visitors. For those that have lived in Estill County their whole lives, they might not think there is much in our county. But, to those of us that weren’t born here, the history is fascinating. We have to remember that not everyone has seen a big rail yard, like we have in Ravenna. Or they’ve never seen an iron furnace, like our county has in the Fitchburg Furnace. We have a wonderful historical society that features local stories of residents and businesses in the area. If you sit and think about it, what does your small town have to offer. Much more than you probably think!

Our August front cover taken by Dave Severson, who got this picture of the newest alpaca at the AlpacaBerry Farm. Meet Jackson! The cria was born July 15th and is doing great.

Benefits of Cod Liver Oil By Theresa Delaware of Irvine

directions on the bottle if you are using capsules.

I want to help people around me to understand that you don’t have to take prescription drugs for all your aliments. I have had several client as of late say they are using cod liver oil, so I did some investigation on it there are some pro and cons to its use. So you be the judge as to what you would like to do with this nutrient rich oil.

Muscle Aches and Pains Bone and muscle pain are two of the primary symptoms of having low-levels of vitamin D. Many people with such low vitamin D levels notice significant pain in their legs and have difficulty climbing stairs. Numerous studies have shown that 1 to 2 teaspoons of Cod liver oil daily can increase vitamin D levels in the body which helps to improve strength and reduces muscle pain.

What is cod liver oil? Cod liver oil is a nutrient rich oil that is derived from the liver of the Cod fish. It has a fish taste, yellow color, but the best quality in cod liver oil is the pale yellow color. You can find it in two forms oil and capsules at the local pharmacy or a health food store. This oil is a wonderful nutritional supplement which provides health benefits, such as: • Vitamin A: helps to maintain a healthy immune system, helps resist bacterial and viral infections, and beneficial for eyesight and healthy skin. • Vitamin D: helps maintain strong and healthy bones. • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: have anti-inflammatory properties which help relieve the symptoms of arthritis, improve brain function, reduce stress, prevent allergies, relieve asthma, and help with learning and behavioral disorders including bipolar syndrome. • EicosaPentaenoic Acid (EPA): is great for the cardiovascular system and helps reduce inflammation throughout the body. Also works as a natural anti-depressant. • DocosaHexaenoic Acid (DHA): is also a fatty acid which is vital for good eyesight, a healthy nervous system, and healthy skin. Research has also shown that consuming 1-2 teaspoons of cod liver oil daily can help to prevent serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, kidney problem, and high cholesterol. Here are some home remedies: Arthritis Consuming a small amount of Cod liver oil each day helps prevent arthritis, as well as provides some relief from the arthritic pain. A recommended dosage is 1 to 2 teaspoons daily, or follow the

Preventing Heart Disease Taking 1 to 2 teaspoons of cod liver oil everyday can greatly improve heart function which helps prevent heart disease. It can also improve heart conditions even after a heart attack and after heart surgery. This is attributed to the omega-3 fatty acids which alters the linings of the arteries in such a way as to improve healing after damage. Vitamin A and D also play important roles in facilitating mineral absorption, improving muscle function, and supporting elasticity of the blood vessels. High Cholesterol The fatty acids in Cod Liver Oil help lower the amount of bad cholesterol in our body. A simple remedy is to consume 1-2 teaspoons of Cod Liver Oil daily. Lowering Risk of Type 1 Diabetes in Children Studies have found that pregnant women that took 1 daily teaspoon of cod liver oil have a lower risk of giving birth to children with type 1 diabetes. However, if you are pregnant, it is recommended that you consult your doctor before you begin taking cod liver oil regularly. What are the Side Effects of Cod Liver Oil? Cod liver oil is generally safe to take in moderation, and studies have not found any major adverse reactions to it in the general population. However, a If you are pregnant or currently taking medication, it is recommended that you contact your physician before using cod liver oil on a regular basis. Otherwise, cod liver oil has been found to be safe for the general population when taken in moderation. It is important not to consume extremely large doses of cod liver oil, since this can lead to high blood pressure. Remember when taking alternatives to prescription drugs you need to air on the side of caution.

The data for the report was pulled from the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Hospital Compare site that compiles patient satisfaction surveys. They surveys showed MWMH has above the state and national average rate for patients reporting their room and bathroom were “always” clean. According to the report, Kentucky’s average rate for patients reporting their room and bathroom were “always” clean is 75 percent. The national average is 74 percent. MWMH patient satisfaction surveys reported 85 percent. 18

work and recognizes the importance of cleanliness to our patients,” said Tina Hix, MWMH Hospitality and Infection Control Director. “A clean room truly impacts the patient experience…it helps prevent the spread of disease and makes a difference for how the patient and their family view the hospital.”

“This recognition means even more because it is feedback from our patients…the individuals who are why we do what we do,” said Susan Starling, MWMH President & CEO. “Cleanliness counts during the patient experience and our Hospitality Team works hard to set is a part from other healthcare facilities.”

Wilderness Wanderings . . .

By Bill Gordon Stanton, KY

Pasta and Pit Toilets...

t looked like another perfect end to a perfect day. My canoe group was thirty miles back in the bush, and our wilderness camp was set up at one of our favorite stops, a one acre island of boulders, rock outcrops, blueberry bushes, and a few sparse groves of pine and spruce, poised in the middle of a long arm of a remote Canadian wilderness lake. One of our most popular canoe trip dinners was being prepared over the birch wood campfire: spaghetti with homemade meat sauce, from-scratch bannock bread sticks, and dried apple pie fresh and hot from the Dutch oven. I was perched up on a rock ledge fifteen feet above the water’s edge contemplating the events of the day. We were four days into the course and everyone was beginning to get the sense of team spirit that seems to grow as a living, tangible thing on each wilderness adventure. It usually takes several days for canoe teams to understand each other- habits, paddling techniques, strengths… and weaknesses. Even people that paddle together regularly discover a whole new and different dynamic when on an extended wilderness adventure, compared to the normal afternoon paddles back home. Just setting or breaking camp, which was an hour’s chore the first couple days, took only half that time this morning. I was pleased, everyone was getting along, there didn’t seem to be any obvious weak links in any canoe team, or any signs of a participant being overly stressed or regretful about coming on this journey into the northern Ontario wilderness. Murmuring voices from the campsite made me break thought and turn back towards the fire. Dinner was well under way, and the aromas of homemade meat sauce and apple pie were causing exclamations of joy from the meal cooks. I’m convinced, after a lifetime of eating meals in the woods; that the best food in the world comes off of campfire coals. I turned back to gaze out over the lake, and became focused on several Loons slowly working their way up the shoreline opposite to my rocky perch. The soon-setting sun was still warm as it nestled itself into the dark spruces along the shoreline, and patches of gold began to show on the trees and rocks nearby. In minutes the whole landscape would be divinely painted with a spectacular golden glow. It never ceases to amaze me how clear it can be here, the dark earthy colors of the forest in such contrast with the bright blue and white of the cumulus- studded sky. Just being here fills me with a sense of peace and contentment rarely found in other places I’ve been. Bob, one of the course participants, was rock-hopping along the shoreline when he spied me relaxing on the granite boulder. He seemed a bit agitated or excited about something, and he clamored up on the rock ledge to find a semi-comfortable seat beside me on the sun-warmed rock. “Hey, I gotta tell you what just happened to me” he exclaimed, as he wiggled his way into a better sitting position on the rock. Before he was finished with his story there were tears streaming down my cheeks from laughter, and he was having great difficulty getting out the final details between spontaneous bursts of laughter and deep inhalations of the clear Canadian air. “Bob, you just have to tell this story after dinner, the others will go bananas when they hear it” I remarked. “It’s a campfire classic!” Dinner was almost finished cooking… you could smell the tempting aromas of the spaghetti sauce all over the campsite. I can always tell when dinner is nearly ready with a group in the wilderness. The first clues are always sensory. In the wilderness your senses come alive in ways not experienced back home. Clean, crisp

air, mingled with the pleasing scent of pine and the earthy smell of the forest, are tremendously restorative. As mealtime approaches, the wood smoke and incredible smells of cooking food are magnetic, and put the final edge on a hunger honed from hours of paddling and exploring. Everyone loves the smell of burgers grilling on the backyard charcoal. Well, that pales to the aromas of food cooking over the backwoods campfire. As I sit here at my computer and write, I can instantly bring to mind the incredible aroma of whole chickens slowly roasting over a bed of hardwood coals, or bacon and coffee in the early mists of a wild country dawn. Heavenly! ...and guaranteed to get you to poke your head out of a comfy warm sleeping bag! And now, the simmering spaghetti sauce was doing its thing, luring us in like moths to the flickering light of a late summer’s campfire. The cooks were busy, lifting pot lids more than usual, and scurrying about making final preparations for serving the meal in their own unique plan for the day. Everyone shares the cooking responsibilities, and wilderness cooking is an important program teaching area on our courses. Cooks, experienced or not, quickly gain a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment from meal success, and there are frequent attempts to really make a nice presentation of the meals served. A wildflower bouquet placed in the serving area, individual plates garnished with wild strawberries or raspberries, and food items attractively arranged on the plates all seem to find their way into our mealtime routine. We have had cooks dig into their personal kit and bring out a towel to use as a tablecloth, and emergency candles placed on hand-carved driftwood candle holders for added wilderness ambiance. ...So cool, ...so creative, ...so appreciated. The sure sign though, is observing the group members hovering ever closer to the dining area of the camp. Most often they’ll be clutching their mess kit, and having that “if you turn your back I’m grabbing a bite” look on their faces. This is the time for comments too...usually lighthearted jokes about the coming meal, and assorted noises and grunts associated with hungry people getting ready for a great meal. The spaghetti was done, the sauce pot sat on a rock at the edge of the fire, and the apple pie was still in the Dutch oven, cooling a bit but still keeping warm for dessert. “So, who wants to vote for dessert first?” The question was raised from inside the flap of a nearby tent. Everyone laughed, and a few “yeah...let’s do it” remarks resounded from the group gathering around the fire. First feet, then legs appeared from under the flaps as a hungry canoer emerged clutching utensils in hand, and beaming with a satisfied smile at having made a good joke to everyone’s approval. “OK, here’s the plan,” announced the cook. “We’ll serve buffet style...I’ll serve you the noodles, then go over to the rock table and get your sauce and bread sticks. There’s iced tea to drink, we figured enough for two cups each,” she added, brandishing a hand-carved spaghetti grabber made from a multi-forked Birch wood branch earlier that afternoon. “Iced tea! Where’d you go to get the ice?” our jokester piped up. “Hey, don’t worry, we paddled out into the middle of the lake and lowered a pot on a fifty foot line and got the water, and man, it’s cold!” retorted the cook as she scooped up a ball of noodles from the cook pot. Several people exchanged glances; there were a couple of appreciative grunts. ... I just observed and smiled. Like so often before, it was happening here also. I was seeing the little extra thoughts that make a good experience turn into a memorable one. August 2016 -- www.atcky.com

The group was forming into a team, and individuals were becoming more tuned into serving and caring for each other, so necessary in wilderness travel. I couldn’t help but chuckle as my thoughts turned to Bob’s recent experience, and I drew a questioning look from the stick-wielding meal cook. “Not to worry,” I said, “everything’s just fine”. Have you ever noticed how quiet it gets when people are hungry? The group quickly found spots to their liking and settled down to eat. Canoeing and wilderness travel consume a ton of calories, and a good carbohydrate-rich meal like spaghetti is welcome dinner fare. In short order everyone’s plate was clean, the bread sticks were history, and it was time to savor the dried apple pie. Oh my, words are hard to find that describe the joys in having homemade desserts on a wilderness trip. And this pie was a masterpiece, and a credit to the efforts put forth by our meal cooks that day. For a group of eight, a pie made in our big Dutch oven will serve up a slice per person that puts to shame the meager portion you’ll get from your local eatery back home. And, speaking of pie slices, I’ve never heard a person on course make the request, “Oh, just a tiny sliver for me, please...” Conversation, sparse at first, drifted in and out of the day’s activities, the miles traveled, and those special moments that each shared. Several people observed a family of Otters swimming in the lake as they paddled by, seemingly oblivious to our passage. They’re playful creatures, and as you watch they’ll quickly dart underwater, then resurface with hardly a ripple, quickly look around and roll over, then dive again. Soon the topographic maps would be brought out, our course from the day plotted and measured, and we would discuss the plans for the next day’s journey. But first, I could tell the story was brewing.

Canoe tripping in the Northwoods wilderness is an experience you’ll never forget. Bill Gordon photo August 2016 -- www.atcky.com

Bob, now sitting against a huge White Pine, with a very full and contented look on his face, announced that he had an experience to share with everyone. It seemed that earlier that evening, after camp was set and preparations for dinner were underway, he strolled off to find the primitive wood box pit toilet that someone had built on the island several years earlier. The Ontario Department of Natural Resources determined that even here in this remote Wilderness Area Park, it would be best to provide pit toilets at some of the more frequented camping sites scattered among the numerous lakes. Their placement of the pit toilets, many in quite uniquely interesting locations, is the subject of many wild and humorous discussions around evening campfires, and there is a wealth of wilderness jokes regarding this subject. “I walked around the island a bit, and found it sitting in a prominent hilltop location up over in the middle of the island. It was right out in the open, with a great view of the lake, but I decided to give it a try anyway”, he shared with the group. “I had just sat down and was wondering if anyone else would take that moment to take a stroll around and stumble into the clearing, when all of a sudden I felt something grab me from inside the toilet hole!” He had everyone’s attention in an instant. He was already laughing, and holding his too-full belly, and trying to get the story out. “I tried to get up and look down at the same time, and saw a mouse hanging on to me in desperation as I tried to stand up. I yelled, lost my balance with my pants down around my ankles, and stated tumbling down the hillside! In an instant that mouse quickly scurried up and jumped over to my leg, then hopped off into the bushes.” Everyone was howling. My sides hurt and my stomach was about to explode! With obvious strain and effort, he continued. “When I saw it was a mouse I think I tried to shoo it off me. That’s when it jumped to my leg, then I lost my balance and started to fall over. With my pants down around my ankles, I couldn’t move, and I stumbled around a bit and ended up pooping all over myself, my pants, and my shoes! It all happened so fast, the next thing I knew I was on my hands and knees at the bottom of the hill, and shaking like a leaf”. “So”, he said after a pause, “I didn’t know what to do, I couldn’t go back into camp like that, I couldn’t pull up my pants ‘cause they were a mess, and I couldn’t take them off and go back to camp without them...so I just knelt there and called out for Mary [his wife] to come and help. After several hollers she heard me and came over, and just stood there looking...and laughing.” By this time we were all in stitches, and I think everyone looked at once to Mary, and she continued the tale. “He just knelt there like a little kid in trouble, and pleaded with me to get him some clean clothes and a washcloth. “The poor baby!” she said with humorous affection. “I had to run back to the tent and get him some clothes, and then we had to wash all his clothes and get him a bath in the lake. Afterward we had a good laugh about it all.” There were various humorous remarks made, and several expressions of sympathy for Bob during this wilderness wildlife encounter. “Think about what you were about to do to the poor little mouse!” and “I wonder what the mouse thought you were, it must have been pretty scary for the little ‘feller!” and “I hope you had a recent tetanus shot!” were some of the ones I remember. Bob certainly had a good-natured spirit to share the story with us. We all had a good laugh at his expense, and I’m sure everyone was relieved it was him and not them telling the story, ...and I would probably bet that no one in the group went anywhere near that pit toilet.

See you in the woods, sometime soon,

“Remember to be careful when you wash equipment or eggs in the kitchen sink,” Jacob said. “You don’t want to cross contaminate food. Always use a good disinfectant to clean up in the kitchen when you’re finished.” Symptoms of salmonella infection include fever, abdominal cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. It usually lasts four to seven days, and most people recover without treatment. However, very young children, older adults, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems are more likely to have a serious illness. Those who suspect they have been infected should contact their health care provider as soon as possible.

UK poultry specialist stresses sanitation to prevent salmonella outbreaks Salmonella outbreaks associated with contact with live poultry in backyard flocks that began in early June are now affecting people in 45 states, and Kentucky appears to have the highest number of illnesses. University of Kentucky poultry specialists are stressing the importance of preventing bacteria for backyard flock owners. “The most important thing poultry owners can do is review their sanitary measures,” said Jacqueline Jacob, UK poultry extension project manager for the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. “Many of the cases in the current outbreak are linked to backyard flocks, so we want to remind folks of simple things they can do to protect themselves.” In the initial outbreak, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported seven multistate outbreaks in 35 states with nearly 300 people infected. The CDC reports that now more than 600 people in 45 states are ill amid eight separate outbreaks. In Kentucky, 35 people have confirmed salmonella infections. According to the CDC, poultry handlers need to remember all chickens can carry salmonella, regardless of where owners purchase them. They can carry the bacteria even if they look clean and healthy. The CDC emphasizes that all poultry owners should always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after touching live birds or anything in the area where they live. They should not bring live poultry into the house or let young children handle chicks, ducklings or other live poultry without supervision. In the current outbreaks, 88 of the ones infected are children younger than 5 years of age.

For more information about the current outbreak visit the CDC website at http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/live-poultry-05-16/index. html. For more general information about raising small poultry flocks, visit the UK Poultry Extension website at http://www2. ca.uky.edu/smallflocks/Health.html. You can also contact the Estill County Extension Service at 606-723-4557. Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability or national origin.

“Any contact with live poultry puts you at risk for salmonella infection,” Jacob said. “Salmonella germs can be in the birds’ droppings and on their bodies and also on their cages, coops, hay, plants and the soil where they live and roam.”

Never Forget Your Roots Never forget your roots my friends For that’s a part of you, That should always be held sacred In the things you choose to do. For what our parents taught us About the straight and narrow way Was a way of life in their time Just like it is today. Our children learn so quickly How to read and write and spell, You are setting an example So teach your children well. And to watch out where their going In the days that are to come, And do not for one split second Forget where you came from. Teach love, respect and honesty The three go hand in hand, Its true for every boy and girl Each woman and each man. The things that are instilled in us From a very early age, Will guide us thru the book of life Each time we turn a page.

Anyone handling poultry should keep the birds away from their noses, mouth and eyes. Shows and fairs with birds and chicks on display should have a way for people to wash their hands or provide sanitizer with 99 percent or higher bacteria kill rate.

Come go with me Come go with me to yesteryear When we were young and had no fear, And gas sold for a dollar thirty-five. When we were safe and free from harm And I helped dad on that old dirt farm And we never ever had to say survive. Come go with me back to the time When life was peaceful and sublime When it was safe to walk around alone. When we didn’t have the drugs and crime And coca-cola cost a dime And high tech meant you had a telephone. When with a little bit of luck My dad would let me drive his truck There on the farm when we were hauling hay. Come go with me and we will go To the Dixie where we’ll see a show, When pledge allegiance to the flag was still ok. Back when we didn’t have a care And our school day started out with prayer And no one ever told us what to do. Back when the kids were taught respect And to be politically correct, And we never heard of the… ACLU.

To the Editor .... To the Editor,

Hi there! I really like how you told everyone to slow down in July’s issue of All Things Country. Lifes easiest pleasure is to “be here now, and enjoy the moment” yet we all run around, planning, preparing, worrying about whats to come and miss out on what is. My garden life helps me live in the present. Digging in the dirt, breaking up clumps of soil to plant seeds and then watching them grow is one of the biggest joys I’ve ever experienced. Our vegetable and flower gardens are doing magnificent this year. Every month I cut out the “By the Moons” that you print and hang it on our wall. We look at it daily to plan our garden duties. I noticed last year that you would include the current month plus half of the next month and I am wanting to request that you do that again. We sure do enjoy what you do! Thank you for taking the time and energy to keep this local magazine going for Irvine! Much love, Kari Major, Irvine Hello Pam, We here at Cliffview Resort and the Red River Gorge Zipline congratulate you and Dave on this tenth year of publishing All Things Country magazine. That is no small feat in this day of fading print circulation and ad revenue decline. To not only survive, but to be a profitable in any endeavor these days is, to say the least, difficult. To do so in the publishing industry is a rare and welcome achievement. That only happens when the product is one of high quality and value. We believe All Things Country is not only both of those but even more. It is a wholesome, informative and entertaining publication. For the past several years, we have advertised in your magazine and with good reason. One of our guests brought a copy of All Things Country with her when she stayed at the Resort. I noticed her reading it and asked if I might look through it. Her response was, “Sure. But only if you promise to return it!” I found it to be what I thought was the perfect place for us to advertise our family-oriented mountain respite, Cliffview Resort and the adventurous Red River Gorge Zipline. I was right!

1st ��Clear ground, turn sod, or kill plant pests. 2nd-4th ��Excellent for sowing grains, hay, and forage crops. Plant flowers. Good days for planting peas, beans, tomatoes, peppers, and other aboveground crops in southern Florida, Texas, and California. 5th-6th ��Start seedbeds. Excellent time for planting aboveground crops that can be planted now, including leafy vegetables which will do well. 7th-9th ��Clear fencerows, wood lots, and fields, but do no planting.

The old tried and true saying, “If you are in business and don’t advertise, It’s like winking in the dark. You know what you are doing, but no one else does!”

You can find out more about planting by the moons by visiting www.farmersalmanac.com or you can pick up a copy of the Farmer’s Almanac at most farm or book stores.

Once again, congratulations of ten years of quality publishing and hopefully, at least another ten or twenty or thirty or... more.

However, where advertising dollars are spent is very important and that is why we continue to advertise in your publication - it works! Yes sir, that has proven to be money well spent. We ask every guest and zipline adventurer how they heard about us and so many times the answer is that they say our ads All Things Country. That is why we and other attractions here in the Gorge are in each and every issue.

Thank you, Jerry Ison Cliffview Resort Red River Gorge Zipline August 2016 -- www.atcky.com

Top 10 Things You Never Knew About August

Marcum & Wallace Memorial Hospital Honored with Quality Award

1. The Romans gave this month its name in 8BC, after the first Roman Emperor Augustus who ruled from 27BC until his death in AD14. 2. Before then, the month had been known as Sextilis, as it was the sixth of ten months in the Roman Calendar, which began with March. 3. The Anglo-Saxon called August “Weodmonath” meaning “weed month”. 4. The birthstones for August are the peridot and the sardonyx and the flowers are the gladiolus and poppy. 5. August was the 55th most common name given to a baby boy in Sweden in 2014. 6. Statistics show that 22 per cent of men named August in Sweden were born in August. 7. Henry VI Part 1 and The Tempest are the only plays by Shakespeare that mention the month of August. 8. In 2015, August is the only month beginning on a Saturday. 9. Warren Harding was the only US President to have died in the month of August. 10. The city of Augusta, Georgia was named after Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha (1719-1772), mother of King George III.

Marcum & Wallace Hospital Director of Radiology, Sharon Whitaker, accepts the 2016 Kentucky Hospital Association (KHA) Quality award from KHA Board Chairman Kevin Halter. Marcum & Wallace received the award for the Lung Cancer Screening Program.

arcum & Wallace Memorial Hospital (MWMH) was recently honored with the Kentucky Hospital Association (KHA) Quality Award. This award is presented to honor hospital leadership and innovation in quality, safety and commitment in patient care. In the Critical Access Hospitals (acute care hospitals with 25 beds or less) Category, MWMH was chosen for the hospital’s Project HOME Network Community Lung Cancer Screening Program. The Project HOME (Helpful Opportunities for Medical Care Enhancement) Network is a rural health network comprised of 14 agencies in two counties. The aim of the network is to improve the health of the community through collaboration with other health care agencies. “We are dedicated to improving the health of our community,” said Susan Starling, MWMH President & CEO. “One way we can do this is through cancer screening and early detection. It’s an honor to be recognized for our efforts.” In 2013, the United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) developed recommendations for annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography. Kentucky has one of the highest death rates from lung cancer in the nation, and the area that MWMH serves has an even higher lung cancer death rate, so lung cancer screening is even more important for the community. Because of this project, patients living in the rural area can receive a high quality, comprehensive lung cancer screening without the need to travel to a large urban hospital. “As of March 2015, 43 patients have been accepted into the program,” said Sharon Whitaker, MWMH Director of Radiology. “Of those patients, two were positive for cancer and referred to the cancer team at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center.” Marcum & Wallace Hospital (MWMH) in Irvine became a designated CT Lung Cancer Screening Center by the American College of Radiology (ACR) in October in 2015. For more information about a lung cancer screening, speak to your primary care provider. Founded in 1956, MWMH is a licensed 25-bed Critical Access Hospital providing inpatient acute care, outpatient services, emergency services with a Level IV Trauma Center, and primary care with clinics in Irvine, Beattyville and Clay City. MWMH is characterized by its family-centered care, community involvement, and progressive ideas in healthcare. MWMH is recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as a top “100 Great Community Hospital” and “6th Cleanest Hospital in Kentucky.” MWMH has extended the healing ministry of Jesus by improving the health of our communities for more than 50 years and is a major source of jobs for the region. MWMH has modern facilities, state-of-the-art equipment, highly-skilled professional personnel and a medical staff that offers primary care and a wide range of specialty services. MWMH is a member of Mercy Health, one of the largest Catholic healthcare systems in the nation. For more information, visit www.marcumandwallace.org.
