Little Rock’s
JERICHO WAY a beacon for many
Located on Little Rock’s Springer Boulevard, Jericho Way Resource Center provides services to help individuals transition out of homelessness. An offshoot of Depaul USA which operates the Jericho Way Mission, the center was able to purchase a house in East Little Rock with the purpose of housing the homeless this past April.

Arkansas Heart Attack Registry active now Twenty-three hospitals have joined the Arkansas Heart Attack Registry (AHAR) in a collaborative effort to reduce the impact of heart attacks in Arkansans. In 2016, Arkansas ranked number one in the nation for highest heart attack death rate, with 2,922 deaths. The American Heart Association reports that every 40 seconds someone suffers a heart attack. “What gets measured gets improved. This registry is a unique opportunity to address a leading cause of death and disability in Arkansas,” said Dr. Appathurai Balamurugan, State Chronic Disease Director and Medical Director for the Chronic Disease Branch at the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH). The AHAR started in Septem-
ber 2018, is the ADH’s surveillance and quality improvement program for acute coronary syndrome. The primary goal of the AHAR is to perform surveillance, monitor care performance, and provide education and quality improvement assistance to improve heart attack patient care and outcomes. Oversight for the AHAR is provided by the STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction) Advisory Council, a group of Arkansas-based healthcare professionals including interventional cardiologists, emergency medical service professionals (EMT’s and paramedics), nurses and public health officials. A STEMI is a very serious type of heart attack that occurs when a major artery is blocked. “This registry is a tool to help us
understand what is working well and what needs to improve,” said Greg Brown, ADH Branch Chief of Trauma, Stroke and STEMI. “We appreciate the participating hospitals’ dedication to excellence in heart attack patient care.” Hospitals participating in the AHAR include: Arkansas Heart Hospital, Baptist Health Medical Center - Conway, Baptist Health Medical Center - Little Rock, Baptist Health Medical Center - North Little Rock, Baxter Regional Medical Center, CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs, CHI St. Vincent Infirmary, CHI St. Vincent North, Conway Regional Medical Center, Jefferson Regional Medical Center, Medical Center of South Arkansas, Mercy Hospital Fort Smith, Mercy Hospital Northwest Arkansas, Methodist
University Hospital (Tennessee), National Park Medical Center, NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital, St. Bernards Medical Center, Saline Memorial Hospital, Sparks Regional Medical Center, Unity Health - White County Medical Center, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Washington Regional Medical Center, and White River Medical Center. If a hospital would like to participate in the AHAR, they can contact the ADH’s Stroke and STEMI Section at 501-614-5232. It is critical to know the signs and act in time when heart attack is suspected. The American Heart Association emphasizes the importance of dialing 911 if any of these signs are recognized: – Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort
in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes – or it may go away and then return. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain. – Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. – Shortness of breath. This can occur with or without chest discomfort. – Other signs. Other possible signs include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness. Visit www.healthy.arkansas. gov for more information on heart attack. Source: Arkansas Department of Health v

Meanwhile, the Board has also approved zoning for a retail center/soccer fields near the intersection of 65th Street and Scott Hamilton Drive. Parents, teachers, staff, and other stakeholders have been holding discussions throughout the community about the future of the Little Rock School District in recent weeks. District leadership has convened the public forums to discuss plans to convert/combine schools in the district. On plan discussed proposes to convert McClellan High into a K-8 campus –a plan that was met with mixed reaction. McLellan and J.A. Fair will be closed as high schools, and those students will be assigned to the new Southwest High when it opens in 2020. About 300 Hall High students will be reassigned to Southwest High. Some expressed concern about the domino effect the change will have on other elementary schools. (Superintendent Mike Poore has proposed converting Rockefeller to a campus wide early education center.) District staff has also floated a plan for a small technology-themed high school in the northwest, next to Pinnacle View Middle School. They are also looking at combining Bale Elementary with Hamilton Learning Academy (now vacant) to form an “academic village,” where pre-K through second grade would be at Bale and upper grades at Hamilton. There are additional forums scheduled throughout the month. (Some information for this report was taken from local media reports.)
