Thanks to all residents who so generously donated their time and life-saving blood recently.
Due to your selflessness, we were able to collect 21 units of blood.
Multiply this total x three (3) to estimate the impact of your donations, so 63 patient lives were improved if not outright saved; and we reached 150% of our Vitalant blood drive goal!

New Treatment Option for Sleep Apnea - No Mask No Hose
Over 20 million Americans have moderate to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The condition is much more than just disruptive snoring. Further consequences range from fatigue and diminished productivity to the risk of accidents and brain and heart health complications.
But there are other ways to treat apnea in addition to using a CPAP.
Dr. Richard P. Pearlstein with Valley ENT will share that information with us including a new option called Inspira which is a safe outpatient procedure. A safe, good night’s sleep without a mask or hose is possible..
Advance reservation is required. Email Connie Simon, Programs Director, to receive the Zoom link: or for questions, please contact Connie (as above) or at 419-357-2589

BPH, is a common condition in which the prostate enlarges as a man ages..Failure to treat BPH can lead to permanent bladder damage.
The UroLift® System is a minimally invasive procedure to treat an enlarged prostate. It is a proven option for patients looking for an alternative to medications or major surgery, and which does not require heating, cutting, or destruction of prostate tissue.
