Ms. Laurie Mathis and her 4th grade class at Harlan Intermediate School recently raised money for a class project.  Because they have a student with Autism in their class, they decided to donate money to the Myrtue Medical Center Rehab Department, the public library, and the school library to purchase books and therapy materials to improve the lives of those with autism and create more awareness about Autism in our community.  Pictured are Mrs. Mathis’ class along with Michael Burris from the Harlan Public Library, Edie Shetler from the Myrtue Medical Center Rehab Department, and Mrs. Fink from the Harlan Intermediate School Library.

Ella Hazelton has been chosen as the 2012 Myrtue Medical Center’s Hospice Volunteer of the Year. She has been a huge asset to the agency since she began in 2006. Primarily, Ella has been a patient volunteer providing companionship, spiritual support, and presence. She has been very dependable, trustworthy, and compassionate. In the past, she has also helped administratively and has been and continues to be a wonderful advocate for hospice. She is truly an example of a dedicated volunteer.

The pool at the Petersen Family Wellness Center will be closed on Wednesday, October 24 & Thursday, October 25.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
