Minimizing the chance of diabetic foot infections is discussed

By STEVEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Diabetic foot care infections are still a major cause of amputation, yet in many cases this is preventable.

The following is a basic list that will help minimize the chance for infections and loss of extremities secondary to diabetes.

• Inspect the feet daily, including between toes for calluses, cracks, fungal infections, blisters and inflamed areas and signs of shoe pressure, cuts and bruises. A mirror is sometimes helpful for this purpose. Diabetics commonly have damage to nerve endings, which may prevent them from feeling

trauma to the feet, therefore, routine examination is critical.

• Use moisturizing cream to prevent dryness. Do not use lotion between the toes because this can cause softening and disintegration of the tissues.

• Wash feet daily and dry them carefully, especially between the toes.

• Bedclothes should be loosened to reduce pressure on the toes, heels and bony prominences.

• Wear properly fitting stockings and comfortable shoes.

• Keep the feet warm at all times.

• Inspect shoes each morning for foreign bodies.

• Change shoes twice daily whenever possible.

• Use a leather shoe with large toe boxes.

• Wear cotton or wool socks.

• Make sure that nails are cut straight across and not too short.

• Use body parts not affected by neuropathy to test bath water temperature.

• Avoid temperature extremes.

• If vision is impaired, have a family member inspect the feet or use a mirror.

Here are some do’s and dont’s of foot care: • Don’t smoke.

• Don’t use hot water bottles, heating pads or heat lamps near the feet.

• Don’t wear garters because they prevent venous blood flow and lead to

peripheral edema or swelling.

• Don’t wear sandals with thongs between the toes.

• Don’t cut or use chemical agents to remove corns and calluses.

• Don’t wear high-heeled, pointed or open-toed shoes.

• Don’t wear new shoes for more than one hour at a time until they are well broken in.

• Don’t walk barefoot, especially on hot surfaces.

• Don’t cross legs while sitting to avoid nerve pressure leading to foot drop.

• Don’t use inserts or pads without medical advice.

• Don’t wear shoes without socks.

Introducing Fulton High School B.L.I.N.D. leader Kylie Smither Building Lasting Impressions that Never Die Hi, I am Kylie Smither and I am a junior at Fulton High School.

I enjoy playing softball, basketball, volleyball and track. I also like being involved in B.L.I.N.D., Key Club and being a leader in FCA. My favorite color is yellow and my favorite holiday is Christmas because I get to spend a lot of time with my family.

Kemp appointed president, CEO of Sinnissippi Centers SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com

DIXON – Behavioral health care leader Stacie Kemp has been named president and CEO of Sinnissippi Centers, a community-based behavioral health care center that provides care to Illinois residents of Carroll, Lee, Ogle, Whiteside and Stephenson counties.

Since September, Kemp has been acting as Sinnissippi’s interim president and CEO. She will assume her responsibilities as president and CEO on Jan. 1, 2024, according to a news release.

Kemp previously served as vice president and chief operating officer and was part of a leadership team that guided the organization’s growth from $8 million to $22 million in eight years.

Kemp’s career in the nonprofit sector spans 25 years in behavioral health and social services.

“Following a nationwide search, Sinnissippi’s Stacie Kemp board of directors is pleased to announce that the best and most-qualified candidate to become the agency’s next president and CEO was already on board and effectively leading the organization,” board Chair Larry Prindaville said when making the announcement. “We are confident that under Stacie’s continued leadership, Sinnissippi’s trajectory of excellence will continue to mark the agency as a behavioral health resource of

choice for many thousands of individuals and families throughout the area.”

Sinnissippi Centers engaged Kittleman & Associates to conduct a search for its president and CEO. Kittleman & Associates is a national executive search firm that specializes in the recruitment of CEOs for tax-exempt nonprofit organizations, public charities and philanthropic organizations.

Kittleman recruits leaders for the entire nonprofit sector, including human services and behavioral health care agencies, foundations and advocacy organizations.

Born and raised in Carroll County, Kemp is passionate about serving the needs of individuals and communities in northwest Illinois.

Early in her career, Kemp was a clinician at Sinnissippi Centers’ Mount Carroll office and rejoined the agency in 2015 as vice president and chief clinical officer. Before returning to Sinnissippi, Kemp served in various social service leadership roles in the Milwaukee area, including as director of performance and quality improvement and IT business collaboration for Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.

“I am honored to be selected by the board as the next president and CEO for Sinnissippi Centers,” Kemp said.

SVCC, ISU ink agreement for education students DIXON – Sauk Valley Community College has entered into an agreement with Illinois State University to enhance and expand opportunities for students enrolled in SVCC’s education program.

This agreement initiates a plan that leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education at ISU upon completion of the first two years of requirements at SVCC, in which the student will receive an Associate of Arts degree.

With the ongoing teacher shortage, SVCC aims to provide workforce-ready instructors for the local education system. SVCC recently implemented new strategic goals, including economic development and workforce readiness, to aid in the success and longevity of the

community.

This agreement will aid in this mission by providing access to a bachelor’s degree, thus growing a pool of qualified candidates to fill local teaching positions.

ISU’s eight colleges offer programs and courses in 36 academic departments and schools. The university’s almost 21,000 students have a full range of study options in business, liberal arts, science, fine arts, education, applied science, technology, nursing, pre-professional fields and engineering beginning in 2025.

ISU is the largest producer of teachers in the Midwest and the second largest teacher preparation institution in the nation, as almost 1 in 6 Illinois public school teachers is an alum of the university.

“I feel very passionate about being a strong community partner and about making sure the behavioral health needs of our communities are addressed, and I also feel strongly about equally supporting the employees of Sinnissippi and being a quality employer in northwest Illinois.”

In addition to her leadership roles at Sinnissippi, Kemp has been serving on the Community Behavioral Healthcare Association board for the past six years, including as its chairwoman, and recently was elected to co-chair the public policy committee, which guides the CBHA legislative and advocacy direction for behavioral health in the state of Illinois.

Kemp is active in her community through the Girl Scouts and as a former board member of the Dixon Family YMCA. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Knox College and a Master of Social Work degree from Washington University in St. Louis.

Sinnissippi Centers is a community-based behavioral health care center that has provided care to the residents of northwest Illinois since 1966.

Sinnissippi is a fully accredited behavioral health care agency by the Joint Commission.
