%\ 75$&(< 58&.0$1 6WDII :ULWHU “We provide free, quality, integrated health care for the uninsured of Fulton County and surrounding areas,” stated Mary Kay, executive director of Compassionate Health Center, Rochester. Compassionate Health Center accepted its first patient in September 2009, and has been helping residents ages 18–64 ever since. “We run just like any doctor’s office, we are not a walk–in clinic; we see patients with scheduled appointments from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday,” said Kay. The only difference between Compassionate Health Center’s office and other doctor’s offices is there is no charge. “We can prescribe medicines at no charge or low cost; administer flu shots; order lab tests and x–rays; provide CPAP and BiPAP machines and nebulizers for COPD patients; and address whatever their medical needs may be,” she said. The primary concentration of CHC is medical services. Once patients have been seen for medical, the other integrated services can follow. CHC’s integrated services include: limited dental, vision and mental health counseling. “Dental is made possible by the generosity of the local dentists in the community. They discount the services they provide and the remainder of the cost is paid for by a grant from REAL Services,” explained Kay. “Before we started offering dental, patients would go to the emergency room and run up a huge bill for a toothache and still not have the problem resolved. Antibiotics and pain medicine were given, but that was only a temporary fix and not a permanent solution. Within a few weeks, they’d be back in the same situation. Since dental has been offered, the number of patients going to the ER for dental is now practically nothing,” she said.“Family Eyecare provides free vision checks for our patients. We help with the March Akron Lions Club fish fry and they donate the proceeds to us. Those funds are used to provide discounted glasses for patients.” The other integrated health service offered is in conjunction with Four County Mental Health Counseling. A bilingual, doctoral student from Notre Dame provides free mental health counseling at the clinic. CHC is a 501c3 organization governed by a

It is a stand alone entity with 50% of its financial support provided by Woodlawn Hospital. The other 50% of funding comes from donations, fundraisers and grants. The largest fundraiser is the annual golf outing, which typically takes place in June, but due to the pandemic was cancelled in 2020. Donations can be mailed to: Compassionate Health Center, 740 N. SR. 25, Rochester, IN 46975, or made via the website: www.chcfulton.org, by clicking on the donate button. Checks made payable to a 501c3 organization are tax deductible. CHC is staffed by three part–time employees, including Kay; Linda Milliser, office manager; and Jayme Parker, nurse practitioner. The center also has many volunteers who help with clerical and nursing responsibilities. The office hours are from 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Mon-

day – Thursday. Kay noted people without insurance often wait until they’re critically ill before seeking help, because they are concerned about the high cost of care without insurance. “Sixty percent of our patients are employed. People are working, but at the wage they are making they can’t afford health insurance. Compassionate Health Center is an amazing asset to Fulton County; it allows the uninsured to get the care they need without worrying about cost,” she said. As a goal for 2021, Kay would like to see physical ﬁtness opportunities made available to patients. This would be in conjunction with a series of nutrition education classes offered to clinic patients by Purdue Extension. To learn more about becoming a patient at Compassionate Health Center, call (574) 223-6080.

Woodlawn doctor loves taking care of expectant mothers %\ /$85,( /(&+/,71(5 6WDII :ULWHU “My heart is in obstetrics,” stated Dr. Brigitte Selio. “Taking care of women is my passion. Women are always taking care of everybody else. They need a doctor who will take care of them.” Selio, the new family practice doctor at Woodlawn Hospital, majored in science/business at Notre Dame.

medical degree at Indiana University Northwest. “After I graduated from Notre Dame, I didn’t know for sure what I was called to do. I took two years off and served in AmeriCorps. It wasn’t until I shadowed an OB-GYN that I was sure being a doctor was what I wanted to do. I watched how the women going to this doctor trusted him to take care of them. They shared with him the private details of their health. I wanted to make a difference like that.” Before coming to Woodlawn, Selio worked for four years caring for women and children at Physician’s Holistic Health Alliance in South Bend. “I love working with women during preconception and caring for them during pregnancy and delivery. Then, after mom gives birth, I enjoy taking care of her baby, too. To me, this is the beauty of the

continuity of care that is possible in family medicine.” In her family practice at Woodlawn, she is responsible for patients of both sexes and all ages. “It’s about an hour’s drive from my home in Granger to the hospital in Rochester. My husband Pete and I are looking for a house closer, perhaps in Plymouth or Rochester.” The Selios have three children: Joshua, 6, Penelope, 4, and Peter, 2. “It’s often hard to balance being a mother and a doctor. My husband calls me a ‘woman of the people.’ With my previous job, I was on call quite a bit. I am hoping my job at Woodlawn will give me more time to spend with my family.” Selio knew from the beginning being a doctor was very demanding. “I had a friend in college whose dad was a doctor. She tried to encourage me to pursue something other than medicine. She told me how many activities her father had to miss because of his job. So, I knew going in that I was going to miss some time with my family.” Her daughter Penelope admires the work her mother does. “She will often ﬁnd my stethoscope and wear it around the house saying she wants to be a doctor someday, too.” Being a female in what some perceive as a male’s role is not

OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY We are pleased to welcome Dr. Bridget Kennedy to the Logansport Memorial Physician Network. She is a general obstetrician and gynecologist with a clinical interest in urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Dr. Kennedy chose obstetrics and gynecology for the lifetime relationship that develops in this specialty. Women’s health doesn’t start with pregnancy and certainly doesn’t end after delivery. She enjoys caring for women during the exciting times of prenatal care and birth, but also in times when things get hard, like incontinence and menopause.

Some of the attributes many female doctors possess are empathy, intuition and sensitivity. “I like to make my patients feel comfortable when they’re in my ofﬁce. Doctors also need to have

intelligence to inspire confidence in their patients.” Selio encourages those who think they want to be doctors to shadow someone first. “Those who think they might want to go to medical school should pick a professional that is performing in the medical field in which they are most interested.”

Let’s study the Bible Called to proclaim Read: Luke 4:14-22 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” (Luke 4:18-19) These events, that occurred

immediately after Jesus temptation in the wilderness, are recorded in John 1:19-4:45. Luke picks up the story at the start %< 5(9 521 of Jesus’ 385.(< ﬁrst tour of ministry in Galilee (Luke 4:14-9:50). Notice the emphasis Luke gives in his

gospel to the person of the Holy Spirit. Luke tells about the Lord’s ﬁrst visit to Nazareth, but Matthew and Mark record only his second ministry there (Matthew 13:54-58; Mark 6:16). Since Nazareth was Jesus’ hometown, you would think they would have been ready to receive him — but they were not. It was customary in synagogue services to ask visiting rabbis to read the scripture lesson and make whatever comments they felt were ap-

to the Gentiles. Jesus’ words of grace were tolerable (Luke 4:22), but his words of judgment were not; and for his statement they tried to kill Jesus the Messiah – but God protected him. When the congregation heard this, they were furious. Jumping up, they mobbed Jesus and forced him to the edge of the hill on which the town was built. The people intended to push him over the cliff, but Jesus passed right through the crowd and went safely on his way. Jesus loves you and wants to help you if there is a need in your life. Don’t do like the people of Nazareth did and try to push him away. Submit to Jesus Christ and let him have his way in your life.

propriate. By this time, Jesus had ministered about a year and was very popular; so it was natural the synagogue leader ask him to participate. The appointed lesson included Isaiah 61:1-2, and Jesus used it as the text for his sermon in which he made three startling announcements. First, Jesus announced the scriptures were fulﬁlled in him. He was anointed by the Holy Spirit to minister to all kinds of needy people and bring them the salvation of the Lord. Second, Jesus announced the Year of Jubilee had begun. “The acceptable year of the Lord” refers to Leviticus 25, the 50th year when everything in Israel was restored to its proper place. (Notice Jesus omitted part of Isaiah 61:2, “the day of vengeance of our God,” because that day is yet to come.) Finally, Jesus announced all of this was by the grace of God. He gave two examples from Jewish history to prove God showed mercy to Gentiles (1 Kings 17:1-7; 2 Kings 5:1-15). The ﬁrst two points were acceptable to the congregation, but not the third, for they wanted none of God’s blessings to go

Interactive story time seeks participants “Story Time with Mr. B” is an interactive read aloud that integrates social and emotional learning standards into a themed reading. These read alouds are a part of a 13-week research based, digital content marketing campaign designed by The Barts Consultancy and produced by Split Road Media. Both local companies plan to partner with libraries and school corporations in Marshall, Pulaski, Kosciusko and Fulton County to bridge the mental health education gap that exists in our area. Through the reading of children’s books focused on social and emotional learning standards that fall

under the domains of kindness, social connection, and gratitude, Mr. B hosts a captivating conversation with children ages 3-12 anchored guided by well-known social and emotional learning literature. Children then participate in a think-pair-share activity of sharing their social and emotional learning explorations (a metacognitive quick write that asks children to recall a moment of kindness) with other children. Cookies, hot chocolate and lots and lots of love! Their ﬁrst book will be “Martin’s Big Words” where the children will learn about one of his most famous sayings: “Darkness does not drive

out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate does not drive out hate. Only love can do that.” They started their launch Jan. 4, with their partner, the Plymouth City Library and plan to expand from there. All content will be available on their YouTube/Rumbel Channel and your local school/library websites. If you are interested in partnering with them or if you would like your child to be in the ﬁlming of their remaining story times, email lindsay. pollock@thebartsconsultancy.com. They have 11 more sessions and we will be ﬁlming them starting midJanuary until the end-of-February.

Tippecanoe Valley receives donation from Discount Warehouse Discount Warehouse owner Lloyd Bailey made a generous donation to area schools on Monday, Dec. 21. Three semi-trailers were ﬁlled with a variety of new goods. Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation was one of three school districts to receive a trailer of items. The brand new items included hats, gloves, clothing and more that will be used to serve families and students in need within each school district. The estimated retail value of the items is $150,000. “We appreciate the support from Mr. Bailey and all of the efforts to distribute this generous donation to our students and families,” said Blaine Conley, Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation superintendent. “It’s fantastic to see people in the community step up and help others, especially during the pandemic.” Metzger Trucking donated their time and resources to move the semi-trailers to the school systems. Students and staff at each school assisted with unloading and sorting the items.”
