CROSSROADS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL EXCEEDS YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR HEALTHCARE BY RHONDA HATCHER
Southern Illinois is extremely fortunate to have many excellent medical facilities, including Crossroads Community Hospital in Mt. Vernon that just did a $20 million renovation three years ago to make improvements to their facility. A few others in the surrounding area are Salem Township Hospital in Salem, Irvington Friendly Care in Irvington and The Surgery Center in Centralia. Recently I did a full tour of Crossroads Hospital in Mt. Vernon with Marcus Holland, director of marketing and Finny Mathew, MHA, chief executive officer and as I toured the facility, I was quite impressed, discovering so many things about the facility. Crossroads Community Hospital is a community healthcare provider. It is a 47 bed, all private-room facility, offering inpatient and out-
patient care, diagnostic imaging, and emergency, medical and surgical care, as well as a sleep disorder center and an orthopedic program. As soon as you walk in the front door you are greeted by a receptionist and all together in one waiting area are access to registration, imaging, laboratory, surgery and admitting, all conveniently consolidated. Their ICU unit provides line of sight observation as well as bedside technology for monitoring critical patients. ICU patients are monitored and cared for by a team of specially trained physici ans and st af f. Crossroads works closely with other hospitals and physicians, if there is a medical issue that the staff and team of doctors feel needs more medical assistance than they can provide, they can transfer the patient
to another facility. There is a helicopter landing pad right outside of the front door for fast and easy transportation if necessary. Crossroads Hospital has state-of-the-art robotic-assisted surgery, which is a type of surgery that uses computer-assisted, robotic technology to aid surgeons in procedures. This four arm robotic assisted surgical platform provides patient with the option of having single site minimally invasive surgery. Some benefits could be less pain, less blood loss, less scarring, shorter recovery time, a faster return to daily activities I also had the pleasure of meeting Kerri Carr, director of imaging, who took me on a tour throughout the diagnostic imaging center.

6 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CHILD'S PEDIATRICIAN Most parents bring their children to the doctor when they're sick, but now is a great opportunity to be proactive and schedule a wellness checkup. This allows you and your doctor to take a broader look at a child's overall health and wellbeing to ensure he or she is developing properly. Wellness checkups provide more time for parents to ask questions. Rather than waiting until your child is sick or an issue arises, a wellness checkup is an opportunity to take preventive measures, maintain a
healthy lifestyle and keep your peace of mind. Every parent should ask the following questions during a wellness checkup. Are my child's immunizations up to date? Work with your doctor to ensure your child is protected from disease. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides immunization recommendations and schedules for children, teens and adults. Is my child at a healthy weight for his or her height and age? Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children
and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years, according to the CDC. A wellness checkup provides the perfect opportunity to ask your doctor about BMI measurement and many other concerns. Your doctor will also be able to suggest prevention ideas and healthylifestyle habits for kids. How much sleep should my child get? Sleep is a fundamental element of anyone's health and is particularly important for kids whose bodies are still growing. Ask your doctor about proper sleep amounts for your

general and specialized surgical procedures. Many are available on a same day outpatient basis. Preadmission testing is conducted prior to each surgical procedure. Procedures consist of but are not limited to abdominal surgery, appendectomy, arthroscopy, breast procedures, bronchoscopies, colon surgery, colonoscopies, endoscopies, ear, nose and throat surgery, gallbladder surgery, gastroesophageal reflux disease treatment, general surgery, gynecology, hernia surgery, opthalmic, orthopedic, pain management, podiatric, robotic assisted surgery, sinus surgery, total joint replacement and urologic. Rehabilitation services are designed to help patients through the process of recovering from an injury or illness. Crossroads Community Hospital's goal is to help people regain their independence and improve their lives by offering both inpatient and outpatient treatment services, treating patients of all ages from pediatric to geriatric. Crossroads Community Hospital's emergency room service pledge: When a patient walks in or is brought to Crossroads Community Hospital the time of your arrival will be noted. Their pledge is that a medical professional (physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner) will work diligently to have you initially seen within 30 minutes. The average wait time is 20 minutes. While the goal is to see every patient within 30 minutes of their arrival time, the most severe cases
will always receive immediate attention. Crossroads also offers two provider based rural health center locations. These centers focus on family medicine. The skilled, caring physicians, mid-level and their staffs are now accepting new patients. Appointments are immediately available. Crossroads Family Medicine of Mt. Vernon is located at 209 Crossroads Place, Suite 120, 618-244-6222. Dr. Joanna Polistico and Sonya McKinney, family nurse practitioner, are available to treat patients of all ages focusing on family health and general health issues, anything from a cold to a physical to hypertension or diabetes. C ro s s ro a d s Fa m i l y Medicine of Wayne City is located at 1209 W. Robinson, 618-895-2050. Sherry Locey, PA-C, treats patients age 3 and over with general medical issues, anything from a cold to a physical to hypertension or diabetes. Crossroads Community Hospital is located at 8 Doctors Park Road in Mt . Ve r non I l l i noi s , 618-244-5500.

Hospital was the first facility in southern Illinois to offer 3D mammography. Kerri explained to me that a 3D mammography is like opening up a book in pages. Images are taken which allow extreme depth viewing of the breast tissue. Early detection is the key and could be a matter of life or death. If a biopsy of the tissue is needed, it is done the same day and all you will be waiting for is the results. From CT scanning, MRI, bone density testing, fluoroscopy, interventional radiology, and nuclear medicine to ultrasound, you'll be in good hands. The laboratory services department at Crossroads is a full service testing facility accredited by the joint commission. It is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week and offers a range of inpatient and outpatient procedures including full microbiology laboratory for cultures, hematology for blood counts, chemistry for tests such as blood sugar and cholesterol, coagulation for testing for blood thinner and they have a fully stocked blood bank ready to give transfusions if necessary. The medical surgical unit at Crossroads is a 40 bed unit spanning two floors. The unit also provides postoperative care to patients recovering from gynecological, orthopedic and general surgery. Surgical Services offer
concerns? Your child's annual checkup isn't just for checking physical health-it's the ideal time to bring up any additional areas of concern where your child may be struggling. For example, is your child experiencing anxiety about starting something new? Having trouble dealing with body changes during puberty? Is he or she struggling academically? Your physician is a great resource who can help your child work through these issues and recommend a specialist if need be. What do you recommend if my child is being bullied? Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each year. Bullying
child's age. For example, children aged 6-13 need 9-11 hours of sleep while 3-5-year-olds typically need 11-13 hours. Is my child developing normally and meeting milestones? While every child is unique, each should reach certain mental and physical developmental milestones around similar times from birth to 18 years and beyond. Ask your doctor if he or she has any concerns and which milestones you should expect for your child's age. How can my child handle anxiety and other mental-health
is a hot topic and many kids keep issues like this to themselves. Parents can be advocates by asking doctors how issues should be handled properly. "Make a list of your top concerns and present them to your doctor at the beginning of the visit to ensure you get all the information you need," advises Dr. Dulkerian. "Talk with anyone who may care for your child, such as a daycare provider or grandparent, for further input before your child's checkup appointment."

These are the kind of weeks I don't look forward to writing this column. On the eve of major events like the Iowa Caucuses, we go to press on Monday at noon with our Mt. Vernon area paper and the Salem / Centralia area goes to press at 2:00 p.m. So that leaves me looking at Sunday after church. This last Sunday afternoon I shared with our Production Manager at our corporate office that it would be a tough week and explained why, but he already knew that. Scott and I have been pushing 20 years working together with ink in the blood and lengthy political conversations today. So when I finished a 30 minute stump speech with him patiently listening to my frustration at the condition of our government today, the distrust of the current administration and the slate of candidates. Smiling, he said that he should have taped the conversation and put it immediately on our website. We both laughed and said that would have been a lot easier for this week. So on the eve of the Iowa Caucuses the race to the White House was in high gear. On Sunday the last day of January, the candidates left held 34 events. Wow, what a day! It was crunch time! With all this talk about the caucus, let's go to the dictionary for the meaning of the word. Caucus: 1) A meeting of the members of a legislative body who are members of a particular political party, to select candidates or decide policy. 2) A group of people with shared concerns within a political party or larger organization. Most people think the Iowa Caucuses are just the first Presidential Primary in the nation — a chance for Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and the rest to see how they're really doing with voters. The Iowa Caucuses do involve voting. It is a long and much involved process, espe-
cially for the Democrats. They gather together at libraries, schools gyms and even private homes to speak their minds and support their candidates. So by a show of hands, the Democrats pick their choice after listening to stump speakers selling their candidate! The bottom line is the candidate must get 15% to be considered a viable candidate, and whoever gets the most is deemed the winner. For the Republicans the Iowa Caucus is a much simpler affair. GOP voters use secret ballots; the key word is secret. Then the votes are tallied to see who will attend the Party's county, state and national conventions. In Iowa you can register to vote right up to the caucus day and, amazingly, can even switch party and affiliation on that day. Finally, after all that, the state's results are used to determine how the Parties' convention delegates are divvied up among the candidates. Wow! My prediction last week was Trump and Sanders; probably Sanders over Hillary is because of wishful thinking. I take it real personal that someone who is under investigation by the FBI and the Obama Justice Department would have the gall to run for President. Someone who is blaming the Republican Party for her close numbers in the polls with Bernie Sanders, who isn't even a registered Democrat. It couldn't be her illegal email activities and her Benghazi mistakes! And only God knows what else. Hillary has to have someone to blame. It certainly couldn't be her. It's the typical Clintonian attitude. By the way, check out a federal law, Title 18, Section 2071 that would put in doubt whether she is even eligible to run or hold any public office, let alone the office of President of the United States. In my opinion, Hillary Clinton broke a federal law in the manner emails were handled.
On to Donald Trump. He needs the evangelical community to walk away with Iowa. As I look ahead, at this time he is slightly the favorite to win as I predicted. I would say on Sunday night at 6:00 p.m., the odds say he has a 48% chance to take it, but I'll take those odds. So as the candidates sprinted through the beautiful state of Iowa, I'm still calling it for Trump / Sanders. On to the next issue. Did Donald Trump get hurt by not showing up for the Fox News debate? In my opinion, absolutely not! I personally have very little respect for the liberal networks, but lost a lot of respect for Fox News over the tweets sent out about Donald Trump before the debate. Frankly, I would have told them to shove it as well. Trump is not always right. But on this one he was right. And there are more debates to come.

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
Returning from Captivity (The Essence of Revival) Perhaps you have heard the maxim, “Great things come in small packages.” This is often the case. Psalm 126 is a short psalm, but so precious in scope, splendor, and hope. “When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with singing . . . those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.” This is the seventh and last “Song of Degrees,” a song sung by pilgrims drawing upwards to Mount Zion to worship God in His temple. It represents our ascent to the Jerusalem that is above. In the Christian context, we could say this song is our joyful praise at our deliverance from the captivity of sin, death, and the devil and praise for the redemption purchased by the death and shed blood of Christ on the cross proclaimed in the gospel. Do you thirst for revival for your parched soul? Pray and believe these promises of God in Psalm 126, for here we have the essence of revival.
RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY. “When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream.” (Psalm 126:1) Backslidden Israel had gone into captivity. It was a sad pattern throughout their history. They lost their song and the presence of God. After 70 years God brought about t h e i r re l e a s e f rom Babylon. It was the Lord’s doing. Why was it referred to as “the captivity of Zion”? Zion was the hill on the north side of Jerusalem where the temple was built representing the worship and presence of God. God has always desired to dwell with His people. God’s intervention sets the captives free. The Lord brings freedom beyond your wildest dream. JOY. “Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with singing.” (Psalm 126:2) Freedom in Christ brings inexpressible joy and holy laughter. No religion can affect — only the Lord can. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” (II Corinthians 3:17) The scriptures speak of the salvation of the Philippian jailer and his family, “He was filled with joy because he had come
9

to believe in God — he and his whole family.” (Acts 16:30-31, 34) IT ’S WHAT THE LORD HAS D ONE. “Then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’ The Lord has done great things for us and we are glad.’ (Psalm 126:2-3) Perhaps this is the pinnacle of this psalm. Nations take note and others will see what the Lord has done and give Him glory. This also is the essence of revival. Has He done great things for you? God desires to turn your captivity. STREAMS OF LIVING WATER. “Bring back our captivity as streams in the south.” (Psalm 126:4) Much of the land of Israel was an arid, rocky wasteland but when it rained the streams would flow down from the south and irrigate the vegetation and crops. When Christ turns your captivity from sin, death, and the devil, the river of the Holy Spirit flows through the dry wasteland of your life and brings revival, renewal, and abundant life. (John 10:10; 7:37-39) SOWING AND REAPING. “Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing...” (Psalm 126:4-6) The seed is the Word of God, the gospel of Christ. Sowing is hard work fraught with danger, risk, sacrifice, sweat, and tears. It takes constant endeavor. Jesus wept. Do you weep for
This Sermon Is Brought To You By These Sponsors
those who neglect or reject the gospel? “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” Expect a harvest. A harvest of righteousness and a harvest of souls is assured. God’s Word will not return void. (Isaiah 55:11) PROMISED HARVEST. “Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing sheaves with him.” (Psalm 12:6) Doubtless means without a doubt. Put faith in the promise of God. Sheaves speaks of Christ, the first fruits, and we, the harvest. Whether your harvest comes now or in the New Jerusalem above your harvest is coming. Your reward awaits. Let God turn your captivity and fill you with laughter and joy and restore your dream. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

THE BIG GAME Baseball may be known as America's Pastime, but football will always have a very special place in the hearts of American sports fans. From August through January and into February, every year, all 32 teams of the NFL, along with their fans, are working, fighting and striving towards one goal — The Super Bowl. It is America's biggest
one-day sports event and it has a long and storied past. Each Super Bowl has its share of heroes, characters and memorable plays, and each following season the footprints are washed away to make way for the next season's combatants. Super Bowl Sunday has become an unofficial American holiday, and the game is watched by so

The story of the Super Bowl began back in the summer of 1966 when plans were put into motion to merge the National Football League and its rival league, the American Football League.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Guess what, Lamb? You’re about to experience a new perspective on a situation you long regarded quite differently. What you learn could open more opportunities later. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bold Bovine is tempted to charge into a new venture. But it might be best to take things one step at a time so that you know just where you are at any given point. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a good time to go on that fun getaway you’ve been planning. You’ll return refreshed, ready and, yes, even eager to tackle the new challenge that awaits you. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon Child loves to fantasize about magical happenings in the early part of the week. But the sensible Crab gets down to serious business by week’s end. LEO (July 23 to August 22) What goes around comes around for those lucky Leos and Leonas whose acts of generosity could be repaid with opportunities to expand into new and exciting areas of interest. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your concern about your job responsibilities is commendable. But you need to take some quiet time to share with someone who has really missed being with you. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Aspects favor getting out and meeting new people. And as a
bonus, you could find that some of your newly made friends could offer important business contacts. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might take pride in wanting to do everything yourself. But now’s a good time to ask family members to help with a demanding personal situation. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Pay more attention to the possibilities in that workplace change. It could show the way to make that long-sought turn on your career path. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your need to succeed might overwhelm obligations to your loved ones. Ease up on that workload and into some welldeserved time with family and friends. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Love rules for amorous Aquarians who can make good use of their ability to communicate feelings. Don’t be surprised if they’re reciprocated in kind. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Fishing for compliments? No doubt, you probably earned them. But it’s best to let others believe they were the ones who uncovered the treasure you really are. BORN THIS WEEK: Your good works flow from an open, generous heart. Nothing makes you happier than to see others happy as well. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
cessful as the AFL. As the AFL's popularity began to grow, the two leagues decided to put plans in motion to merge. As part of the agreement, it was decided that until the merger was complete, the champions of each league would face off in an NFL vs. AFL championship game. This would become known as the Super Bowl. When the merger was complete in 1970, the leagues were renamed as the National Football Conference and the American Football Conference. Currently, the NFC leads the league with 26 to 23 wins over the AFC. The Pittsburgh Steelers hold the record for most Super Bowl victories with six. The Cowboys and the
49ers have five apiece, and the Patriots, Giants and Packers each have four. January 15, 1967, marks the historic date of the first Super Bowl played between the AFL Champion Kansas City Chiefs and NFL Champion Green Bay Packers who were led by the coach legendary Vince Lombardi. The NFL championship trophy was later named in his honor, as he managed to win the first two Super Bowls. When the Panthers and the Broncos face each other in Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, February 7, 2016, there just may be a few of those legendary moments that go down in football history and will be talked about for years to come.
