Did you know that handwashing is one of the best ways to protect yourself, your family, and others from getting sick, especially with flu season right around the corner? Ensure good health by washing your hands often! #NationalHandwashingDay 1. Wet your hands with clean, running water, turn off the tap and apply soap. 2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with soap. Don't forget to lather the backs of your hands, and between your fingers! 3. Scrub your hands for AT LEAST 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” twice while you're washing. 4. Rinse your hands well under water and dry with a clean towel.

Each year, healthcare organizations across the country celebrate Physician Assistants and recognize the significant role they play in patient care. Happy #PAWeek to our four wonderful Physician Assistants!

For many, being diagnosed with cancer is one of the most trying and frightening experiences of a person’s life. Having a place to go to discuss options and worries can help bring ease and start patients on the right path back to health. For over 11 years, Cancer Care Resource Nurse, Sue Hageman, has helped guide patients through their cancer journey with one-on-one support. Whether patients have questions regarding their diagnosis, treatment options, side effects, or local resources, Sue is wealth of information. “Our Cancer Care Center is here for comfort and support during difficult times. I love what I do - talking with patients and helping them navigate their diagnosis.” In addition to support services, the Cancer Care Resource Center is home to Dixon’s American Cancer Society wig bank. With over 100 styles and colors in stock, patients undergoing cancer treatment can come in and select a wig, free of charge. Those seeking help can pay Sue at a visit at KSB Town Square Centre or give her a call at (815) 285-5624.
