He was transported to the Howell County Sheriff’s Office where he was officially arrested and charged on Friday, September 18 with child molestation-1st degree.

Murray, TCMH chief executive officer, said. He referred to the hospital’s recent signing of Dr. Jason and Dr. Teresa Loden to full-time jobs at TCMH. Dr. Jason Loden is a general surgeon, and he will arrive at TCMH in the summer of 2018. TCMH anticipates an 18 month turnaround time on the surgery project, to be completed by the summer of 2018. The department shell is already built and in place,
located between the Jayson Gentry Community Safe Room and the East Wing of the hospital. When the hospital built the safe room, they included space between the safe room and hospital to build a new surgery department. “Our plant operations crew will build out the department according to the plans that we already have drawn up,” Murray said. Several years ago, TCMH began working toward build-
ing or renovating all patient care areas in the hospital. The final phases of the plan include building a new surgery department, and relocating and enlarging the obstetrics department in the old surgery space and relocating and enlarging the intensive care unit in the old obstetrics space. The new surgery department is designed to house two operating rooms, an endoscopy suite, and seven private rooms for pre-surgical prep and post-surgery recovery. The anticipated cost to complete construction on the surgery department is $990,500. In addition to the $150,000 federal grant, TCMH will utilize funds raised during the “Care for Your Future” capital campaign and tax credits. TCMH requested $200,000 from the Delta The new TCMH surgery department will be located between the Jayson Gentry Community Safe Room and the East Wing of the hospital, on the South side of the hospital campus.

Each year the Toys For Tots Christmas concert is provided through the combined efforts of The United States Marine Corp League, and local television station Channel 38.

Plan ahead for a safe and sober ride home The holidays have arrived. And with the holidays comes more travel than usual as people across the state fill their calendars with shopping trips, parties and out-of-town family visits and vacations. For those who plan to celebrate, the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety wants to remind Missourians to designate a sober chauffeur or arrange for a cab to avoid driving impaired this holiday season. Statewide, law enforcement will be on the lookout for impaired drivers with targeted enforcement efforts Dec. 15 through Jan. 1. There were 86 deaths and 426 serious injuries due to crashes in Missouri during
the last holiday season – that means 512 families’ holidays were forever changed. Change the numbers – don’t let anyone drive impaired. “We encourage all Missouri motorists to plan ahead – a safe and sober ride home means a safe and happy holiday season for everyone,” says Bill Whitfield, executive chair of the coalition. Consider some of the consequences you may face should you choose to drive impaired: - If you cause a fatal crash while intoxicated, you can be charged with involuntary manslaughter, a felony resulting in up to seven years of prison time, a $5,000 fine or both.
- Your license can be suspended for 90 days on your first conviction. You could be fined up to $500 and spend up to 6 months in jail. - Minors may additionally be subject to a Minor in Possession citation resulting in license suspension for 90 days for first offense. This is in addition to any suspension resulting from point assessment on an alcohol conviction. - Insurance coverage will be difficult to find and your rates will be significantly higher.

The need is great, please, CALL TODAY and Volunteer…and give; you’ll feel so good…and you’ll see the good it does! With the downturn of our economy, it is affecting more and more people, making it hard for people to just get by. It‘s making

Letter to the Editor:
Dear Legislators, People across this nation are saddened by the school bus wreck in Knoxville TN with the loss of life and injury to students. Those children could have been our children. Our youngest and most vulnerable citizens need to be protected as best as we know how from accidents like this. I am puzzled why we do not have laws mandating seat belts in school buses. We do have laws that children must be restrained in personal vehicles. It seems ridiculous that they are not under the same protection when under the care of our schools. School buses do have a good record of safety. While all of us respect “big yellow” on the roads, that does not insure that the school bus might be involved in an accident. Our children are at risk. The financial costs seem insignificant when we measure the grief of parents, relatives and friends of those that have been injured or lost their life. This seems like an issue that all people and legislators can agree on, personal politics set aside. We hear about bi-partisan issues on the news, is this not one of them? I am asking that you do whatever you can to make Missouri one of the states to mandate seat belts on school buses. Only six states in our country have done that. Let’s make Missouri one of the next. Thank you, Marty Toll, retired teacher, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Missouri ends season with comeback win against Arkansas by Benjamin Herrold Sports Writer
After a cloudy, chilly morning and early afternoon, the sun at last peeked through in the second half of Missouri’s Friday after Thanksgiving home game with Arkansas. Likewise, Missouri’s come-from-waybehind 28-24 win provided a ray of sunshine to close a generally dreary season. It represented the best win of the year for Missouri (4-8, 2-6 in SEC play). It’s a fairly short list, but Arkansas (7-5, 3-5 in SEC) is a quality team that played a rugged schedule. Although Razorback fans will no doubt be less enthusiastic about this season after losing a game they were dominating. The first half of the Battle Line Rivalry game went about as expected, with Arkansas showing why it had
TCMH
$50,000 short. “We will continue to work toward raising funds for the surgery department and other future capital and construction needs at TCMH,” Murray said. The TCMH Healthcare Foundation currently has a brick paver project underway that will raise additional funds and create an engraved brick paver area at the front entrance of the hospital. The brick paver funds could be utilized to continue capital projects at the hospital. Murray told board members that the new surgery department was a key factor to recruiting Dr. Jason Loden to work at TCMH when he completes his residency in
the better season, taking a 24-7 lead into halftime. If anything, the Razorbacks could have led by more, but Missouri was able to keep just barely in touch. The Tigers began the comeback with an impressive nine-play drive for a touchdown. Arkansas appeared to quickly restore order with a nice drive of its own, but an interception at the goal line kept Missouri in the game. Missouri was pinned deep after that pick, but coach Barry Odom called a gutsy fake punt from his own seven-yard line, which worked. Two plays later, Drew Lock threw a 67-yard touchdown to Johnathan Johnson to draw the Tigers within three. Arkansas then curiously passed the ball three straight times, resulting in a threeand-out and a punt. Missouri churned out a nine-play,
81-yard touchdown drive, capped by a Nate Strong run, and then hung on frantically during the fourth quarter to seal the win. Arkansas is the better team and outgained Missouri, 503 yards to 399, but Razorback quarterback Austin Allen threw two interceptions in the end zone, dooming the Hogs. Lock had a good game to close out his sophomore season, completing 16 of 26 passes for 268 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions. Receiver J’Mon Moore had a big day as well. Missouri was playing without leading rusher Damarea Crockett, who was suspended for the game after an arrest for marijuana possession. The Tiger defense showed some teeth, getting a lot of pressure on Allen, and pitching a second half shutout. It was a mentally tough
effort from the Tigers, as plenty of 3-8 teams would’ve simply accepted defeat when trailing by 17 at the half. That kind of effort is encouraging for Odom and the program. On the positive side, Odom won two SEC games in the his first season, something Gary Pinkel could not do in his last season. But this was obviously a disappointing season. Even in a weak SEC East, Missouri didn’t even come close to bowl eligibility. Next year, the offense needs more consistency, and the defense has to recover after an abrupt decline. After failing to make a bowl for two straight seasons, there will be big pressure in 2017 to get back to a bowl. For the sake of recruiting, fan enthusiasm and general program momentum, Missouri needs it.
From Page One 2018. “Dr. Loden and I have talked about the things he can concentrate on in his final months of residency to best meet the surgical needs of the patients in our area,” Murray said. “Dr. Loden also has a lot of interest in providing wound care and offering additional services for area patients with wound care needs.” Murray noted that Dr. Teresa Loden, a pediatrician, was welcomed by all members of the TCMH staff when she recently visited the hospital and met with hospital staff. “In the past, our family medicine physicians have provided care for pediatric patients, and they expressed to Dr. Loden the need for additional specialized pediatric care for area pediatric patients,” Murray said. Physicians in the emergency department at TCMH were especially vocal to Murray about the need for a local pediatrician. “Our ER physicians have found it very difficult to get follow up care with a pediatrician for young patients that receive initial treatment in the ER,” Murray said. Murray explained that with the recruiting of Dr. Jason and Dr. Teresa Loden the hospital’s current physician recruiting needs are filled. Dr. Cory Offutt began working at the TCMH Medical Complex in Houston in
July. Dr. Jennifer Groner began working full-time at the TCMH Mountain Grove Clinic in November. Offutt and Groner are board certified family medicine and obstetrics physicians. “Dr. Groner just completed her first week of work at TCMH,” Murray said. Murray explained that for Groner the traditional family medicine practice is “somewhat different” than the academic setting where she has worked for the past six years. “We’re very glad to have a full-time physician at the clinic in Mountain Grove, and we believe that practice will continue to grow with Dr. Groner at the helm,” Murray said. The Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Clinic began working with patients this week. The clinic is located at the end of the hospital’s East wing where four patient rooms were renovated to house the program. TCMH recently received a $357,000 grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) to fund a three-year outpatient cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program. Patients will qualify for the multi-disciplinary program following testing for lung disease. The 12-week program will help patients improve lung function and activities of daily living. Funds from the grant are utilized to employ a part-time secretary for the program and
a full-time respiratory therapist. Kathy Carr, cardiac rehabilitation nurse at TCMH, is also working with the cardiopulmonary rehabilitation patients. Dr. Juan Mella, pulmonologist at TCMH, will oversee the program and the patients in the program. “Dr. Mella has already referred 22 patients to the program, and nine additional referrals have been made by other physicians to the program,” Murray reported. TCMH has a goal of averaging four new patients each week for the cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program. Murray reported that patient referrals to the Sleep Study Laboratory are also growing. In August the laboratory added new sleep study technology and increased availability for the lab. “We are averaging 29 patients a month and growing,” Murray said. Prior to Mella joining the TCMH medical staff, the Sleep Studies Laboratory averaged 10 patients a month. “The addition of Dr. Mella’s specialized pulmonology and sleep services are working the way they are supposed to,” Murray said. “Dr. Mella has had patients follow him from his previous practice, and he’s receiving new referrals of patients from our medical staff.” Anita Kuhn, controller at TCMH, presented the financial statement for the month of October.
Not Just Business as Usual
Unity. That is what I reflected on this Thanksgiving. It is a true testament to the remarkable character of Americans that after a divisive Presidential campaign season, we can all respect our differences and come together for the good of our country and for our future generations. Since his electoral victory to become our next President, Donald J Trump, true to his word, has focused on unifying Americans. Whether it’s sitting down and meeting with leaders of the Democrat Party, establishment Republicans or taking the time to hear from those most critical of him over the past 18 months – our next President has focused on the exact things our current President has failed over 8 years to ever do – developing relationships and building consensus to put America, not a political party first. Unfortunately, the national liberal media, who we discovered colluded with the Hillary Clinton campaign, remains obsessed with the fact that they haven’t been catered to every minute by our next President. They remain dedicated to their biased double standard and would have you believe the Trump transition is in a ‘chaotic state’ of sort. Unfortunately to their chagrin, our next President has spent more time charting a path for the future of our country, than doing the evening talk show circuit like our current Commander in Chief. Truth be told, Donald Trump is ahead of where Barack Obama and Bill Clinton were at this point in their transitions into the White House. Even the former head of the liberal Obama campaign, David Axelrod has publicly condemned criticism of the Trump transition stating, “We hadn’t made any major announcements at this point in 2008, I don’t remember being criticized about it.” In 2008, then President-Elect Obama had only named one Cabinet position by December 1st and still had multiple vacancies in his Cabinet at the start of January. President-Elect Bill Clinton didn’t even make his first Cabinet pick until December 10th! Since 1968, George H.W. Bush has been the only newly elected President to name any Cabinet level positions within the first 2 weeks of winning the Presidency and he had the ability to witness a Presidential administration as Vice-President for 8 years. As our next President has had time to sit down and consult potential Cabinet Secretaries, what has emerged in his selections are some of the most qualified and skilled individuals to lead our country. The type of leaders who will reassert America’s rightful place in the world, who will stand with our allies, deter our enemies, and Make America Great Again here at home. One of President-Elect Trump’s most recent selections of Betsy DeVos to be Secretary of Education highlights our next President’s priority to move power out of Washington, away from bureaucrats, and back to the states and small town communities upon which this nation’s freedoms were founded. When I opposed the misleading Every Student Succeeds Act, I went against the Republican Party and our leaders, but I did so because I believed that it didn’t give enough control over our children’s education to the small towns and localities which know their children best. Education Secretary Nominee DeVos has stated that we should not have common core national standards and a one size fits all approach, she’s a reformer from outside Washington who supports local control. She is exactly the type of Education Secretary who will get Washington out of the lives and out of the classroom of every teacher and student across our nation and understands the purpose and potential of an education. Like Ben Carson said when he visited Sikeston, “what you do in the first 25 years of your life will lay the foundation for how hard or easy the next 50 years of your life will be.” Donald Trump doesn’t owe anything to Washington insiders or party elite. He is accountable to the American people, that’s it, and that’s the way it should be. Donald Trump is a successful business leader who has spent his career surrounding himself with the best and brightest minds. He will continue to meet with Republicans, Democrats, economists, security experts, business leaders, military generals, farmers and hard working families to understand the right policies needed on day one to get our country moving forward again. I continue to be impressed and appreciative of the outreach and hard work of our next President – it’s a refreshing change from the government knows best approach of the last 8 years and a change overwhelmingly called for by the American people.

Wilson perseveres, will earn degree from SBU in December M.J. Wilson’s story is one that is familiar to so many who have tried to pursue an education, while also having to work to support that effort.
Wilson started her college education at the Southwest Baptist University-Mountain View campus within a year of graduating from Mountain View-Birch Tree
Liberty High School, but “life happened” and school had to be put on the back burner. During that time, she completed a semester here
Online fundraising campaign launched for huddle space at Garnett Library Officials at Missouri State University-West Plains have launched an online campaign to raise funds for a huddle space in the Garnett Library for #GivingTuesday, a global giving movement that has been driven by individuals, families, organizations, businesses and communities in all 50 states and in countries around the world. The library is in need of a huddle space where students can gather to informally share and create information, university officials said. Huddle spaces have many benefits, including access to wireless connections for any iOS or Android device, shared screens for collaborative learning, and space for students to discuss ideas with each other or faculty, officials said. The addition will provide students a learning tool that will enhance their college education and experience, they explained. “One hundred percent of the proceeds will be used for this project,” said Director of Development Joe Kammerer. “We are fortunate to be a part of the Missouri State University system that provides a crowdfunding plat-
form that does not charge us any fees to utilize it. We are very thankful for anyone or any organization that gives to this project. It will truly enhance how students utilize the library on campus.” Those who wish to give may do so at http://gvcmp. us/vi8a0v or https://www. givecampus.com/schools/ MissouriStateUniversity/ huddle-space-in-garnett-library. Since its founding in 2012 at 92nd Street Y, a community and cultural center in New York, #GivingTuesday, which takes place on the Tuesday following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, has been a way for people to give back to the causes they believe in, university officials said. In dozens of towns, cities, regions and states, millions embrace the day as an opportunity to raise money for local nonprofits, schools and arts organizations; run food and clothing drives; teach children about philanthropy; encourage acts of kindness; collaborate with their neighbors; and celebrate generosity. In 2015, nonprofits raised more than $117 million on-
line on #GivingTuesday to help make the world a better place in countless ways. Much more was generated offline and through donations of time and resources. People participated in #GivingTuesday activities in 71 countries around the globe last year, university officials pointed out. “The tremendous response to #GivingTuesday over the last five years has been both humbling and inspiring,” said Henry Timms, executive director of 92nd Street Y. “We have seen countless examples of communities coming together to address challenges. Giving is a powerful reminder of our shared humanity, and the willingness of so many to participate and elevate giving is reason for celebration – even with lots of work still to be done.” For more information about the campaign, call the Missouri State-West Plains development office at 417255-7240.

We’re excited to share some more of those details with the community.” The luncheon and meeting will take place from noon to 1 p.m. in rooms 104 and 105 on the lower level of the Lybyer Technology Center.

and a semester there while also working. “I have had plenty of dead-end jobs at factories, food service and retail jobs,” Wilson said. “I felt stagnant and depressed in those jobs. “But one thing I could count on was that SBU was there, waiting for my return,” Wilson said. By the spring semester of 2014, she was able to completely dedicate herself to obtaining her degree with the help of some familiar faces, as well as some new ones at the Mountain View campus. “The faculty at SBU has always been more than helpful,” Wilson said. “They treated me as a valued student and not just another number. “At SBU, I have always felt welcome and comfortable, as if I were part of an
extended family.” Wilson, who will graduate with a bachelor of science degree in psychology in December, has already secured a job and is working. “Thanks to my education from SBU, I now have a career,” Wilson said. “I am currently an educator in a substance abuse recovery clinic. I love my career and I am able to have a positive impact and make a difference in the lives of others. I look forward to going to work now.” She is grateful for the support of the SBU faculty through those difficult times of her journey. “All this was made possible by the warm and friendly faculty at SBU, who have supported and encouraged me,” Wilson said. “I am so grateful for, not only my education and the faculty, but
also the friends with whom I have connected and shared life experiences. “Personalized care and quality of education makes Southwest Baptist University a university I will recommend for years to come.” For more information about SBU-Mountain View, contact Susan Frazier, associate director of admissions for SBU-Mountain View at (417) 934-2999 or sfrazier@SBUniv.edu.
Nineteen students from the Agriculture Department at Missouri State University-West Plains recently placed in competitions at the 2016 Missouri Postsecondary Agriculture Student (PAS) Organization’s annual conference and competition Nov. 9-11 in West Plains. Hosted by the university’s Agriculture Department, the conference brought together 156 students and advisers from seven community colleges in Missouri to learn about the agriculture industry and compete in 54 different contests that focused on activities designed to give students experience in career planning, employment application preparation, and writing resumés and letters of application, organizers said. Thirty-two individuals from the community served as contest judges and interviewers, organizers added. Most students competed in two or three different contests, organizers said. The career specialists competitions tested students’ knowledge in a specific area. They also had to complete a problem solving exercise. Missouri State-West Plains students placing in these competitions included: Dairy: Audrey McClellan, Willow Springs, fourth; Michaela Campbell, Springfield, sixth. Equine: Liz Baty, Alton, second; Bryce King, Alton, ninth; Haden Garrett, West Plains, 14th; Keshia Wilson, Licking, 17th; and Dessa McBride, West Plains, 18th. Livestock: Cordale Foster, West Plains, seventh; Kyle Wilson, Houston, 16th; and Mitchell Elkins, Ozark, 21st. Soils: Jaden Hicks, West Plains, sixth; Benjamin Blank, Richmond, seventh; Casey Watkins, Caulfield, ninth; and Christine Jordan, Willow Springs, tenth. Agricultural Education:
Bailey McCully, West Plains, third; Blank, fourth; and McClellan, seventh. The career planning contest encouraged students to explore careers in agriculture and interview professionals within that career while learning what skills, work habits, lifestyles and salaries are common in that field. Missouri State-West Plains students placing in these competitions included: Agricultural Education Systems: King, second; Blank, sixth; McClellan, tenth; McCully, 12th. Horticulture, Environmental and Natural Resource Systems: Shawn Lewis, Moody, fifth; Elkins, seventh; Matthew McEntire, Pomona, ninth. Retail Agribusiness Systems: Watkins, third. Ruminant Animal Systems: Foster, sixth. Non-Ruminant Animal Systems: Samantha Janes, Couch, first; Keshia Wilson, fourth; McBride, fifth; Kyle Wilson, sixth. Employment Interview participants were scored on their employment application, resumé, letter of application and personal interview. Missouri State-West Plains students placing in these competitions included: Fruit and Vegetable Production: McEntire, second. Agribusiness Sales: Watkins, sixth. Dairy Production: McClellan, fourth; Jordan, fifth. Natural Resources: Elkins, third; McClellan, fourth. Feed and Animal Health: Janes, second; Keshia Wilson, sixth; McBride, eighth; Kyle Wilson, tenth; Foster, 11th. Agriculture Education: McCully, sixth; Blank, eighth; Michaela Silva, Gainesville, ninth; King, tenth; McClellan, 12th. “I am extremely proud of these young agricultural
professionals,” said Linda Wulff-Risner, assistant professor of agriculture and the group’s adviser. “This was the first year our students completed in the career planning and career interview contests, and every student who competed placed. These students worked diligently to prepare for the contest and assisted with the many organizational and logistical details of organizing and hosting such a complex conference.” All of the award winners will move on to the 2017 National PAS Conference and Competition set for March 13-15 in St. Louis. “The next step is polishing these applications and honing interview skills, as well as studying for career specialists contests in preparation for nationals,” Risner said. “The national contest will be another first for Missouri State-West Plains, as this delegation will be the first to attend a national PAS conference.” The National Postsecondary Agriculture Students Organization was founded in 1980 in Kansas City, Missouri, to provide opportunities for individual growth, leadership and career preparation for college agriculture students. An estimated 1,400 members from 62 chapters in 18 states are PAS members. Risner said officials with the Missouri State-West Plains Agriculture Department, including Assistant Professor of Agriculture/ Entrepreneurship Cathy Proffitt-Boys, who assisted with the contest, would like to thank the many local businessmen and women who served as judges for the event. Financial support for the group was provided by the Student Government Association (SGA) and, in the past, has been provided by the Philanthropic Women for Education.

Holiday giving program begins at TCMH
How Much You'll Pay for Medicare in 2017 Dear Savvy Senior, I know there won’t be much of a cost-of-living increase in Social Security benefits next year but what about Medicare? How will the 0.3 percent Social Security raise affect our Part B monthly premiums in 2017? Inquiring Beneficiary Dear Inquiring, Considering the rising cost of health care coverage, the news regarding your Medicare costs for 2017 is not too bad. Here’s what you can expect. Part B Premiums Because the Social Security Administration is giving out a measly 0.3 percent cost of living increase starting in January – that equates to about a $4 to $5 monthly increase on average – the 2017 Part B monthly premium for about 70 percent of Medicare recipients will increase only about $4 to $5. Thanks to the Social Security Act’s “hold harmless” provision, Medicare cannot pass along premium increases greater than the dollar increase in their Social Security checks. So, if your Medicare Part B monthly premium is currently $104.90, you can expect it to be around $109 (on average) in 2017. Or, if you signed up for Part B for the first time in 2016, your $121.80 monthly premium will rise to around $127 (on average) next year. Some Will Pay More Unfortunately, the hold harmless provision does not protect all Medicare recipients. New Medicare enrollees (those who will enroll in 2017), beneficiaries who are directly billed for their Part B premium, and current beneficiaries who have deferred claiming their Social Security will pay more. If you fit into any of these categories, your Medicare Part B premium will be $134 per month in 2017, up from $121.80. The hold harmless rule also does not protect high-income Medicare beneficiaries who already pay higher Part B premiums because their annual incomes are above $85,000 for an individual or $170,000 for a couple. If you fit into this category, here’s what you’ll pay for your Part B premium next year, based on your 2015 tax returns. • Individuals with incomes of $85,000 to $107,000, or married couples filing joint tax returns with incomes of $170,000 to $214,000, will pay $187.50 per month. • Individuals earning $107,000 to $160,000 (couples $214,000 to $320,000) will pay $267.90. • Individuals with incomes of $160,000 to $214,000 (couples $320,000 to $428,000) will pay $348.30. • Individuals with incomes over $214,000 or couples above $428,000 will pay $428.60. Another increase high-income beneficiaries (those with incomes over $85,000, or $170,000 for joint filers) need to be aware of is the surcharge on Part D premiums. Affluent seniors that have a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan will pay an additional $13.30 to $76.20 per month, depending on their income, on top of their regular Part D premiums. Deductibles and Co-Pays Other changes that will affect all Medicare beneficiaries include the Part B deductible, which will increase to $183 in 2017 from $166 in 2016. The Part A (hospital insurance) annual deductible will also go up to $1,316 in 2017 (it’s currently $1,288) for hospital stays up to 60 days. That increases to $329 per day for days 61-90, and to $658 a day for days 91 and beyond. And the skilled nursing facility coinsurance for days 21-100 will also increase to $164.50 per day, up from $161 in 2016. For more information on all the Medicare costs for 2016 visit Medicare.gov and click on “Find out how much Medicare costs in 2017,” or call 800-633-4227.

The Texas County Memorial Hospital Healthcare Foundation begins its eighth year of “Celebrate Our Memories” in partnership with TCMH Hospice of Care this week. Beginning Fri., Nov. 25th a nine-foot Christmas tree in the front lobby of the hospital will hold Christmas ornaments that can be “gifted” and inscribed with the name or a message in honor or in memory of someone special in their life. The Foundation will divide all funds generated by the program with another TCMH entity—Hospice of Care--so the Christmas program actually benefits two local charitable organizations. As part of Celebrate Our Memories, those who have
“gifted” an ornament will be invited to keep the ornament as a personal keepsake of their memory at the end of the holiday season, after the tree is removed from the hospital’s front lobby. The ornaments are hung on the tree as they are gifted. Sponsorship of one ornament is $20, and anyone can gift as many ornaments as they wish. Ornaments can be gifted by groups or by individuals. Gifted ornaments can honor a group, an individual such as a teacher, a parent, a friend, or other loved one. Anyone who gifts an ornament can provide a name or message that will be inscribed on the ornament tag for them. “It’s the goal of the Foundation and Hospice of Care
to have at least 100 ornaments gifted in recognition of someone this holiday season,” Gentry said. Hospice of Care uses the funding they receive from the program to provide hospice care, supplies and equipment for patients and their families in Texas county and surrounding areas. The Healthcare Foundation uses their portion of the funds in meeting a mission of ensuring the quality of healthcare services for children, women and men at the county hospital. “I am already soliciting and receiving sponsorships for the Celebrate Our Memories program,” he said. “We hope to have several ornaments on the tree as soon as it goes up.” Those who wish to gift an
ornament should contact Courtney Owens, director of TCMH Hospice of Care at (417) 967-1279 for a form to fill out. Forms are also available at the TCMH Auxiliary Gift Shop located at the front entrance to the hospital and on the Healthcare Foundation’s website, www.tcmhfoundation.org. A letter of recognition will be sent to those who gift an ornament, and ornaments will be available for pick up at the hospital after the holiday season. All proceeds from the program will remain in the area and directly impact the local community. Any donation made to the TCMH Healthcare Foundation or to Hospice of Care is tax deductible.
Two physicians sign four-year contracts with TCMH Texas County Memorial Hospital has filled two primary care positions by signing Jason Loden, DO and Teresa Loden, DO, a husband and wife duo to four-year employment contracts. Jason Loden is a general surgeon, and Teresa Loden is a pediatrician. Jason Loden will work full-time in the surgery department and Outpatient Surgery Clinic at TCMH. Teresa Loden will work full-time at the TCMH Medical Complex in Houston. Both doctors will provide inpatient care, too. Currently Jason Loden is in residency at Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, NE. He will complete his general surgery residency in June 2018. Teresa Loden is a fulltime pediatrician at One World Community Health Center, a federally-qualified community health center serving a predominantly Spanish-speaking population and uninsured patient base in the Omaha area. The Loden’s grew up in Missouri--Jason in Joplin and Teresa in Swiss. They met in college at Avila University in Kansas City where they were both biology majors. They also attended medical school at AT Still University in
Kirksville, MO. After medical school, the Loden’s did residency in Omaha at Creighton University. Teresa Loden completed her pediatric residency this summer. Jason Loden’s residency is five years in length, ending in 2018. Teresa Loden is currently fulfilling a requirement by the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) to work in a clinic with a medically underserved population in exchange for student loan forgiveness. Teresa Loden will fulfill the last two years of her NHSC requirement at the TCMH Medical Complex. Last year TCMH began looking for an additional full-time general surgeon to work alongside general surgeon, Linda Milholen, MD. The hospital contacted Jason Loden about a fulltime position at TCMH, and he asked the hospital about also recruiting his wife to do pediatrics in Texas County. “After Jason asked us about recruiting his wife, we asked our medical staff if they felt there was a need for a full-time physician specializing in pediatrics,” Wes Murray, chief executive officer at TCMH, said. Murray noted that TCMH has not focused on recruiting a pediatrician in the
past due to more pressing needs for physicians providing care for all ages. “Not only was all of our medical staff very much in favor of bringing a pediatrician on board, our employees spoke up in favor of adding a pediatrician to our ranks,” Murray said. With the addition of the Loden’s TCMH currently has their physician recruiting needs filled. “Dr. Jason Loden will help us break in our new surgery department, and provide an additional foundation for growing our surgical services in the future,” Murray said. He added, “Dr. Teresa Loden will help us fulfill our mission as a hospital; a pediatrician will provide more specialized care for area children.” TCMH is in the process of building a new surgery department with two operating rooms, an endoscopy suite, and private recovery rooms. When the current surgery department relocates, the hospital hopes to move obstetrics to surgery
and the intensive care unit to obstetrics, creating larger patient care spaces for all the departments. “Our hospital’s success is dependent upon a strong medical staff providing a variety of services to the communities we serve. We need our area residents to choose local healthcare providers whenever possible to help us continue to grow and to retain our physicians and primary care services,” Murray said. Murray called Dr. Jason and Dr. Teresa Loden “a great addition” to the hospital’s medical staff. “The future of healthcare in Texas County is very bright,” Murray said. The Loden’s have two daughters - Elliana is two years old and Gabriella is a newborn. The Loden’s sought an opportunity in a smaller town in Missouri that was near family and where they could both practice medicine. They hope to do some farming and enjoy outdoor activities when they relocate to Texas County in 2018.
Dr. Jason and Dr. Teresa Loden have signed contracts to work full-time at TCMH. Teresa Loden (far left) is a pediatrician, and Jason Loden (far right) is a general surgeon. They are shown here with Wes Murray, CEO at TCMH. The couple Juan and Marissa Quiroz, Cabool, are the parents of a is holding their daughters - Gabriella, a newborn, and Elliana, age 2.

Free hands-only CPR class offered Dec. 8 Ozarks Medical Center, Air-Evac and South Howell County Ambulance will host a free Hands-Only CPR Class Thursday, December 8 from 6 to 7 p.m. at OMC Parkway Center. The class is free, but reservations are required by calling 417-257-6793. Hands-Only CPR Can Save Lives. Most people who experience cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public location die because they don’t receive immediate CPR from someone on the scene. As a bystander, don’t be afraid. Your actions can only help. When calling
911, you will be asked for your location. Be specific, especially if you’re calling from a mobile phone as that is not associated with a fixed address. Answering the dispatcher’s questions will not delay the arrival of help. How to Give Hands-Only CPR. If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of any tune that is 100 to 120 beats per minute, such as the classic disco song “Stayin’ Alive.” Immediate CPR can double or even triple a person’s chances of survival.
