Caring neighbors
Maybe they delivered a home-cooked meal when you were under the weather, or watched your children while you ran a quick errand, or helped you with yard work. They are “Neighbors Who Care,” and we think they deserve recognition. Again this year, The TriCounty Press will devote one of our holiday issues to honoring those in the community who have given a bit of themselves to make the lives of others better. No deed is too small (or too large). If you know a Neighbor Who Cares, tell us about them. You can nominate by sending an e-mail to tricounty press@communitypress.com, or by regular mail to Tri-County Press, Neighbors Who Care, 394 Wards Corner Road, Suite 170, Loveland, OH 45140. Include your name, address and phone number, as well as their’s.

Football team’s success has all of Wyoming By Kelly McBride Reddy
Feeling Blue

School spirit has brought together the Wyoming community as the high school’s football team reached state competition with sights set on an accomplishment not seen in more than 30 years. Community members, whether they have children on the team, children in the school district, or no children in school at all, have bonded in team spirit for the 2009 Cincinnati Hills League champions. School Board Member Terry Marty, who owns an insurance firm on Springfield Pike, has been flying his Wyoming Cowboys flag on his company sign. His children are grown, but he has grandchildren in Wyoming schools. “We are fortunate to have excellent academics as well as our sports and extracurricular programs,” Marty said of Wyoming. “Success is not only measured in victory, but in the numbers of students able to participate.” Wyoming resident Kathy Guggenheim said she has noticed that the team spirit has caught on among residents whether or not they have children in the school system. “Wyoming is such a tight-knit community,” she said. “When you have something like this happen, it’s exciting.” Her son, Corbin, is No. 80 on Wyoming’s reserve football team. It’s the same number worn by her husband, Steve, who was a member of the 1977 team that won the state title. “He wanted to be just like his dad,” she said. Wyoming hasn’t won a state title since that season under Bob Lewis, for whom the football sta-

Susie Fegelman, who owns Wyoming on the Avenue, said sales have increased as the team enjoyed more success this season. She sells all things Wyoming, from shirts and sweatshirts to cowbells to infant wear, among other merchandise. “No doubt about it,” she said. “It’s been a slam dunk.” Guggenheim said she’s seen the enthusiasm wind its way through all ages of students. “The younger kids see them
Superintendent Gail Kist-Kline said she has seen the community interest in the team’s success, as well. “These young men will draw upon the success and pride they have demonstrated, and the special team camaraderie for years to come,” Kist-Kline said. “This record-setting season is a defining moment in their lives,” she said. Fegelman said she’s seen “total support and excitement.” “Whether you’re playing or not,” Fegelman said, “it’s a great thing for the community.”

(high school players) as their mentors and think ‘we’re going to be there someday,” she said. “It’s good for youth football, too.” High School Principal Aaron Marshall said he’s proud of the football players. “They, along with the run of our girls soccer team in the state tournament, have energized our school,” Marshall said. “These student-athletes have excelled both in the classroom and on the field.” The soccer team also reached state-level competition this season.

Bringing awareness to ‘invisible disease’ Regina McDonald of Springdale is the multi-cultural outreach coordinator at the Alzheimer’s Association, targeting the underserved such as the Asian, African-American and Hispanic populations. I met her through Carolyn Sherman, an Alzheimer volunteer who Regina couldn’t praise enough. Regina’s paternal grandmother and maternal aunt developed Alzheimer’s, and she thought it was just old age. One day when Regina realized that her grandmother didn’t recognize her as her granddaughter, it opened the door to a deeper understanding. When she began working at the Alzheimer’s Association in January, 2006, Regina assiduously researched the disease and embarked on a huge learn-
ing curve. That first year was tough as she immediately began hosting diversity programs, Evelyn doing radio Perkins i n t e r v i e w s Community and speakat Press ing churches. columnist She was nervous, but persevered. It was a baptism by fire. Passionate about Alzheimer’s, Regina calls it the invisible disease. Although she helped her dad with his mother, she hadn’t experienced the full scope of the disease. “People need to see it on a daily basis to understand it. Over 5 million are diagnosed in the U.S., and this
number will triple. We must have a shift in health care dynamics. As time goes on, physicians will get more training. Alzheimers hits all domains of life – health care, community, family. The high incidence of cardiovascular diseases puts us all at greater risk for vascular dementia.” A best-kept secret is that all Alzheimer’s Association programs are free. She started a Family Caregiver Forum in 1907. A family support group meets at Bethel Baptist Church (2712 Alms Place) on the third Monday of each month from 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. Regina recently started a faith-based coalition for Northern Kentucky, Hamilton and Butler counties. Regina grew up in Avondale and College Hill, attending Cincinnati Junior

Swearing in of the Evendale council went on as scheduled. A recount had originally been scheduled by the Hamilton County Board of Election for Tuesday, Dec. 1, the same day the council members started their new term. The recount was needed because the winner of the third seat, Doug Lohmeier, was separated from Jeff Albrinck by only four votes, Lohmeier with 799 and Albrinck with 795 votes. The results were certified, but still required a recount. According to Jack Cameron, assistant to the Evendale mayor, Albrinck waived his recount making

Glendale Elementary School students gave Princeton City School District Board of Education’s November meeting a fairy tale beginning. Students, led by Principal Julie Ayers, performed a reading from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Then, reality struck as the district discussed its five-year forecast, which is presented annually. According to information from the district, Princeton is anticipating an additional decline in revenue because of changes in direct state funding, as well as changes in the tangible personal property tax revenue. Because the tangible personal property tax will disappear in 2013, “we lose millions annually at that point,” Communications Director Tom O’Neill said in a news release. “So, we’re bracing for shortfalls and will continue to cut millions again next year from the general operating budget,” he said.

Q: As GE Aviation announces its plans to revitalize its headquarters in Evendale, what are the direct benefits to the village and residents? A: “The project is job retention based. It is a
commitment to maintain jobs for 18 years per the State of Ohio Job Retention Tax Credit. Direct benefits are continued presence of GE in Evendale and improved facilities for long term efficiencies and equipment that allow GE Aviation to stay competitive.” Q: The village has given a $1 million grant to GE Aviation. What are the conditions for how the money is spent? A: “It was referred to as a grant but it is not a ‘grant’ The village has
committed to pay $1 million towards project costs. This could be spent in a number of ways but requires GE to invest $100 million in site improvements and to maintain Evendale as the global headquarters of GE Aviation.” Q: How much of the revenue that the village brings in comes from GE? A: “More than half, but we do not release specific tax figures. It is a very impactful percentage of our annual revenue to say the least.”

Kyrgyz University administrators visit Great Oaks
Ten university administrators from Kyrgyzstan visited Great Oaks Oct. 16 to learn about its Adult Workforce Development program. The former USSR republic is transitioning to a free-market education system from the old Soviet model, in which the government matched graduates with jobs and assured a job for everyone. Studying the American approach, in which students pursue education that makes them attractive to employers, is an important part of their program. The Kyrgyz were in Cincinnati for a three-week Community Connections program on university administration and education quality, organized by the Greater Cincinnati World Affairs Council. During their Oct. 14-Nov. 4 program, the group is visiting educational institutions such as Great Oaks, the University of Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky University, Cincinnati State, Union Institute, Wilmington College, Ohio State
University and Berea College. The comprehensive program gives them the opportunity to learn from their American counterparts about topics such as university governance, strategic planning, university finance, accreditation, admissions, faculty qualifications and technology. The Community Connections program is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), with World Learning as the programming agent. As the local training organization, the Greater Cincinnati World Affairs Council is designing and conducting this Community Connections program, its 44th. The broad public diplomacy goals of Community Connections are to advance democratic and free-market principles and to promote mutual understanding in Eurasia, providing visitors broad exposure to U.S. society and helping create personal connections with Americans.

Accidentally, on purpose? Visitors to Cincinnati.com/ evendale posted these comments to a story about an accident on Interstate 75 at Glendale-Milford Road that tied up traffic for several hours Nov. 18: “When there is an accident with a car torn literally in half, somebody must have been doing something incredibly stupid or incredibly fast. Probably both.” harrisonohio “Replying to harrisonohio: I know a girl from my high school (God bless her soul) who hydroplaned on a 55mph rural highway at 45 mph in a 1987 Cavalier and was hit broadside at 45 mph by an oncoming car – her car split in half and she was ejected while still strapped in the driver’s seat. Whenever I hear about a car split in half, I automatically think it’s a Cavalier.” adlib-ertarian “I witnessed an accident like this once. A pickup was hauling a very heavy twowheel trailer. The pickup went too fast and the trailer, which was attached by a single rigid bar to the bumper, started to oscillate wildly. Then it snapped off and went smahing through all the traffic on the highway. Extremely dangerous. However, the drivers hauling these things never seem to learn that they shouldn’t be going 75 miles per hour. It isn’t real if it doesn’t happen to them ‘all those warnings are stupid.’ This is the problem with our society, no one learns. The same tragic, preventable accidents happen again, and

Compared to last year, do you plan to spend more or less on gifts this holiday season? “Our whole family has taken a big step back regarding gift giving this year. When we take a hard look at all we have, it becomes easier to spend less money and more time on each other. “I coordinate a neighborhood project each year that raises money for our local Ronald McDonald House, so I think we’ll be donating to them some of the dollars we would have spent on gifts. “The economy has forced so many of us to tighten our belts and re-evaluate our priorities – perhaps it will also force us to take a harder look at how grateful we should be for what we have in life instead of fretting over what we don’t have. Happy Thanksgiving!” M.M. “I will definitely spend less, A) I haven’t got it this year and B) my family wants for little so the extra that I’m not going to spend will be given to charity.” Florence “I will definitely spend less. Each year I think I will make the holiday less material and teach my children the real reason for the season. With the poor economy and the loss of family, I now have the push to really do so.” J.H. “We will spend about the same per person as last year. However we have one more grandchild this

As Wyoming turns Visitors to Cincinnati.com/ wyoming posted these comments to stories a lawsuit filed by three former employees who were recently fired or resigned from the recreation department: “I opened the Hometown Enquirer section of Enquirer to Wyoming to see one more embarrassment to the city of Wyoming about Deters and her gang. Why wouldn’t you have in there that Wyoming football team just won 13 games in a row and won a regional championship! Isn’t that more important and positive? Deters and her gang are costing taxpayers of Wyoming money to fund their ridiculous lawsuit. There were surveillance cameras showing that they were drinking alcohol! I’m glad my child wasn’t under their supervision any of those times. I hope the city of Wyoming sticks to their decision to keep her fired! I would never be allowed to drink on my job!

At least four cars reportedly were involved in a bad crash on Interstate 75 North in Evendale Nov. 18.

If we take into account the Enquirer’s impeccable journalistic standards, the city manager’s function was probably 21 and up, and the three employees probably were offering the teens the drinks. The issue here isn’t city employees drinking on city property. It’s an issue of drinking on the job, which gets you fired even from the VA, or drinking at a private function, which is nothing.

If they provided my child with alcohol, confrontational would be a mild way to phrase how I would treat it.

What we learn from BRIC Brazil, Russia, India and China are the worlds up and coming economies, and their names have been abbreviated to form the acronym BRIC. Brazil was the cover story in this week’s Economist magazine. I could not help but read the article and others on Brazil without thinking “we can learn from this.” Brazil has declared energy independence from the rest of the world. They did this through an ambitious plan of exploration and substitution of fuels. Starting in the 1970s, they began researching the use of biofuels, specifically ethanol from sugar cane. In the early 1980s Ford, GM, Fiat and Volkswagen began producing cars that ran exclusively on sugar cane alcohol. Although initially subsidized, the program is now self sufficient, and any vehicle sold in Brazil can run on any combination of E-85 (no pure gasoline is now sold) or pure ethanol. One can also convert a car to additionally run on propane. Talk about choice at the pump. Embraer, the Brazilian plane manufacturer that sells commuter jets to U.S. airlines, sells a cropdusting plane that runs exclusively on biofuel. Meanwhile, the semi-private oil company Petrobras has become the world leader in deepwater oil exploration and extraction, enjoying great success in Brazil and even in the Gulf of Mexico, because of the search for Brazilian oil.
The Brazilian banking system has been relatively immune from the banking crisis that has hit the rest of us. W h y ? Bruce Healey Because of techCommunity nology and regPress guest ulation (and, it’s a historic columnist true, aversion to mortgages which explains why home ownership in Brazil is historically low). The Central Bank in Brazil can monitor – in real time – the flow of money and investments in the country. It can observe – in real time – if the banks are obeying banking regulations. Even stock brokers are observed through technology and must produce daily reports (with a maximum of 48 hours delay) showing the amount and allocation of their assets to the local equivalent of the SEC. Brazil’s economy will grow by about 4 percent this year. Only about 22 percent of GDP is dependent on foreign trade, so most of that growth is internal. The number of people living in absolute poverty dropped 50 percent between 2003 and 2008. Sure, there are huge differences between America and Brazil. However, if you want to be surprised, look at the U.S. at the turn of the 20th century and Brazil today.

Dream season ends for Wyoming Cowboys
By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Wyoming High School football team ended its season in the state semifinals, but it was certainly a season to remember. The Cowboys set the school record for most wins in a season and secured a regional championship. “I’m extremely, extremely proud of them,” head coach Bernie Barre said. “They did a fantastic job. They were a history-making team.” Barre said the team chemistry and work ethic were two keys for making it a special season. He also said it was one of the more talented teams he’s had. “It seemed like one of those teams where if the defense had a rough night, the offense picked up the load. If the offense struggled, the defense took over,” he said. The team had a number of unsung heroes, according
to Barre, like Harry Meisner. Meisner missed the 2008 season with an injury and came back to set the single season record for receptions. Evan Aleshire set the single season record for receiving yards. “There were so many unsung heroes to this team,” Barre said. “James Edwards had been a backup before this year and played great on defense. Dillon Burk was a backup last year and was a first-team all league linebacker this year. Andrew Kraner, an offensive lineman, did a great job this year. He’s not very big but he has good technique and played well for us. “A lot of seniors really came on and made big contributions,” Barre said. Quarterback Kyle Seyfried, who would fall on the list of appropriately sung heroes, set multiple school records in the passing game this season. He came close to breaking the school’s career

Barre also said the community and the parents did a great job of supporting the team during its historic season. “It was fantastic,” he said. “They supported us all year long and the community was great and the parents were fantastic. The parents organized all the team dinners we had. We had great crowds during the playoffs. The entire community really came together during the playoff run and made it a lot of fun.” When asked what he would remember the most from this record-breaking year, Barre didn’t talk about stats or wins. “I’ll remember the kids.

Sibert, Princeton have big shoes to fill By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
Twenty-five wins, an undefeated conference record, a national ranking and the first state tournament appearance since 1972. That’s a lot to live up to. And that’s just fine with the Princeton High School boys’ basketball team. The Vikings came within two points of Columbus Northland in the Division I state finals last March, and they return this season with renewed hopes of bringing a state championship to Princeton. Gone are the familiar faces of many former seniors, including two-time allstate selection Orlando Williams and all-league performers Marquis Horne and Stefon Johnson. But senior Jordan Sibert, an OSU recruit, is back. “Jordan will be expected to demonstrate his experience and leadership,” head coach Josh Andrews said. “He is a positive influence on the entire program, and this year he gets a chance to

per game. He shot 51.5 percent from the floor, including nearly 37 percent from three-point range, and he led the conference with 2.8 steals per contest. “Jordan is the consummate team player, and his focus is winning championships,” Andrews said. “(He) has progressed well and is ready to start the season.” Joining him will be senior guard Marcus Davis, who will play baseball for Louisiana State University. Davis averaged 2.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals as a reserve last season. “He is always consistent and always tough,” Andrews said of Davis. “His singular focus is making his teammates better and put-
ting our team in the best spot to win ball games. (He’s) been a tremendous asset to the program now for four years.” Also returning is senior forward Darrien Wilkins, who averaged 5.3 points per game last year while shooting 61.6 percent from the field. Princeton will face stiff competition for the Greater Miami Conference crown, especially from Middletown, which finished 19-3 (13-1) last year. “The GMC is always tough and will prove to be just that again this year,” Andrews said. “There are a handful of really talented players and teams, and it will take a veteran group and quick maturation to be successful.” But ultimately, the Vikings aspire to return to Columbus and win a state title. “They are close-knit and have prepared as though they have something to prove,” Andrew said of his players. “It will be enjoyable watching Jordan lead this group.”

The reason? The Crusaders graduated seven players from the rotation and only return four players with significant varsity experience. “I just don’t know (if) we have the proven depth that we had last year,” Kremer said. “We do think we have some talented kids though, so it’s a matter of getting them experience.” The returning players Moeller does have back will be tough to overlook. Junior guard Charlie Byers was fourth on the team in scoring last season, averaging 7.8 points per game. The all-league guard is joined by another returning all-league selection in Alex Barlow. Barlow, who can play the guard or forward positions, led the team in rebounding last season. “He plays a lot bigger than his size,” Kremer said. Senior guard Josh More-

lock is another returning player who saw some key minutes in 2008-2009. Morelock averaged almost five points a game and was second on the team in assists. Then there’s Griffin McKenzie. McKenzie, the 6-foot-9 inch forward, is one of the top players in the city. The senior committed to play major Division I college basketball when he signed with Xavier University before the season. McKenzie missed most of the 2008-2009 season with an injury but should be a force for the Crusaders in 20092010. “He’s healthy now and you can expect to see a better athlete. He’s explosive,” Kremer said. “He’s an important player but his challenge will be to get back into basketball shape and to feel like he doesn’t have to do everything.” Kremer also said he’d like to see McKenzie give the team more of an inside presence.

Kremer will also have several sophomores who played on the freshman team last year. “That will be another challenge for us. We have guys that played varsity, junior varsity and freshman ball last year so we have to get them all comfortable playing together,” he said. “They have to adjust to the varsity level and learn how to play with each other.” Kremer did say his team will have a lot of kids who can handle the ball and can shoot. That’s one positive for a Moeller team that will start the season as a bit of

boys should have some talent in their starting lineup. Junior guard Kyle Seyfried, a two-year starter, averaged 10 points per game last season for Wyoming and will be a key player again. Senior Jacob Allsop is another standout for Wyoming, as he averaged seven points a game in 2008-2009. Junior Eric Price averaged
nine rebounds a game last season and will be a factor at center and Evan Aleshire is another forward to keep an eye on. Tony Davis Jr., a transfer forward from Lakota West, will be another player to watch for Wyoming. “They are so much stronger physically and more mature mentally this season,” said head coach Tony Gentry.

First-year Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy head boys’ basketball coach Mike Sylvester inherits a senior-laden squad that finished 14-9 last year. His top returner will be senior forward Wes Carlson, who averaged 18.4 points and 6.8 rebounds per game last season. Other key returners include forward Will LoVellette and guards
Andrew Wallace and Doyen Harris. The Eagles also hope to improve on their 6-7 mark in the Miami Valley Conference. CHCA will certainly benefit from Sylvester, a former high school and collegiate All-American at Moeller High School and the University of Dayton, respectively. He was drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 1974 and played professionally for 17
St. X returns 4 starters from Sweet 16 team By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
ERNEST COLEMAN/STAFF
St. Xavier High School senior Alex Longi is one of four returning starters for the Bombers this season.
St. Xavier High School head boys’ basketball coach Scott Martin has led the Bombers to four Final Fours this decade – including a state title in 2000 – and enters his 15th year at the helm of the program. Last season, he guided St. X to a 14-10 overall record and an appearance in the Sweet 16 of the state tournament. Fueling that run on the court was Erik Stenger, who last year led the GCL-South in scoring (17.6 points per game), rebounding (7.7)
and blocks (1.8) and is now a freshman basketball player at Northern Kentucky University. Still, the Bombers return four starters, including three of their top four scorers – seniors Luke Massa (9.5 points per game), Alex Longi (7.8) and David Niehaus (4.8). Massa shot a team-high 42.7 percent from threepoint range, while Niehaus led the team in field-goal percentage (53.5 percent). Also returning for the Bombers is guard Ben Holcomb, who hit nearly 40 percent of his three-point attempts last season.

The many feelings of the Christmas season The Christmas season is an ambiguous time of year. Perhaps bittersweet is the best term to describe the collage of Christmas feelings. Many factors make it sweet: familial love and closeness, the joy in children’s eyes, personal warmth, cordial dining and conversing, notes from old friends, gifts, but especially the realization we’re loved and thought of dearly. Yet, Christmas time so often involves a bitter side. This side often contains: loneliness, excessive attempts at pleasing, the reemergence of conflicts between siblings and relatives, a sad nostalgia, and a frenetic busyness that destroys the opportunity for personal time and reflection on its meaning. Loneliness is often the predominate heartache that arises at this beautiful season. Perhaps some insights
may soften it a little. There are various kinds of human loneliness. They’re brought about by alienation, restlessness, rootlessness, psychological depression, and what we can call a moral loneliness. In “Against An Infinite Horizon,” Ronald Rolheiser describes it as, “There is a fire inside us that aches insatiably. At every level, body, psyche, soul, we feel our unwholeness and are restlessly driven to seek consummation with others and the world beyond us. We never quite overcome this in this life … It constitutes the fundamental disease of the human person.” In our culture, whenever loneliness is discussed, we conclude that we grow lonely mainly for sexual union and that finding a partner for it will solve our loneliness. That’s far too simplistic. A human person is much
more complex. That’s made evident by the fact that not even years of on-going sexual functioning eradicates all loneliness. Have we not heard the complaint of the lonely spousal bed? More deeply than we yearn for a sexual partner and physical union, we crave for what we can all call a moral affinity. We pine for someone to visit us within, in that deep part of us where our very self, and all that is most precious to us is kept, cherished and guarded. We are lonely at levels that sex alone cannot reach. We hunger to be known, understood and loved. Rolheiser explains it well when he writes, “Great friendships and great marriages invariably have this deep moral affinity at their root. The persons in these relationships are ‘lovers’ in the true sense because they
Holiday in Lights returns to zoo Make this season most memorable with a visit to one of the Tristate’s most popular holiday attractions, Holiday in Lights, running through Sunday, Jan. 3, with hours of 6-9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 6-10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Holiday in Lights is a mile of festive light displays that wind through beautiful the trees in Sharon Woods. Admission is $12 per car or
$45 for buses or vans with more than 15 passengers.

We blame them for not knowing us completely or not loving us as much as we think they should. Or, we run from our ache by becoming too busy and not realizing that others are looking for the same thing we are. The loneliness and lesser loves of this world need not frustrate us. They can serve as reminders of the value of loving one another as best we can while moving ever closer to the divine meaning
sleep with each other at that deep level, irrespective of whether or not there is sexual union. At the level of feelings, this type of love is experienced as a certain ‘coming home.’” Christmas time blows on the embers of this desire in us and it blazes up. When it is misdirected and misunderstood, we may sometimes aim our frustration and anger at parents, brothers or sisters, relatives or friends.

new. And when you open them, regardless of the expiration date on the can (particularly with baking powder), know that you should use them within a year maximum. For baking powder, put a little in some warm water – it should start foaming right away. For baking soda, do the same but use some vinegar or lemon juice, which will activate it if it’s still fresh.
Rita’s creamy Kentucky colonels/bourbon balls
Tricia Boh, a Kentucky reader, asked me to replicate the bourbon balls “like Rebecca Ruth’s makes for Buffalo Trace bourbon distillery in Frankfort, Ky.” Here’s one from my files, which is what I think she wants, as this is a creamy, not cakey, bourbon ball. I also have a traditional bourbon ball recipe which I’m including for our Web version. (Let us know if you want a copy by mail by calling
513-591-6163.) You can divide this in half, or double it. Now I want you to taste the mixture after it’s mixed up – if it’s creamy enough then leave as is. If you want a bit more creaminess, add a bit more butter, starting with a couple tablespoons and go from there. Makes anywhere from three to four dozen, depending on size. I use a small ice cream scoop to make the balls nice and round. I think the coating on Buffalo Trace’s balls is probably bittersweet or Belgian dark chocolate. 1 stick salted butter, softened 1 pound powdered sugar Up to 1⁄2 cup bourbon – start with several tablespoons Chocolate coating: Real chocolate chips: semisweet, bittersweet, Belgian, etc. Beat together butter and sugar. Gradually add bourbon. Form into balls and refrigerate until very firm. (Sometimes I freeze mine in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a

I trust the Group
“Having a medical partner helping
you navigate the medical system really makes a difference.”
– Carolyn R. and her mother, Ellen R., Anderson patients
Caring for an elderly parent can be stressful – running to doctors, keeping records, arranging treatments. When Carolyn’s parents began to falter, she turned to her Group Health Associates doctor. He guided her through some difficult decisions while taking good care of her whole family. When specialists were needed, Carolyn found exactly what she needed in the same Group Health office – even prescriptions. When her mother had to go to the ER, Group Health’s computerized records allowed doctors to access the data needed to proceed with confidence. That level of care makes Carolyn really trust Group Health Associates.
