HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital Press Release

 
PRESS RELEASE
HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Breese Partnership Offers Hearing Implants
 
BREESE, Ill. — HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Breese announced they are partnering with Cochlear Provider Network (CPN) to provide a comprehensive set of hearing health solutions that go beyond hearing aids.
 The CPN connects independent audiology practices dedicated to treating hearing loss with all solutions, to surgeons who are interested in raising hearing implant awareness. By offering the ability to assess candidacy for implantable hearing solutions, as well as programming services and ongoing care, St. Joseph’s Hospital is now able to fully address the needs of patients for whom hearing aids have stopped providing meaningful benefit.
 
“We can help patients regain access to sound and their lives by introducing them to hearing implants when their current solutions cause frustration or dissatisfaction,” said Abigail Stutz, Audiologist at St. Joseph’s Hospital. “We are pleased to be part of the Cochlear Provider Network with area surgeons because it allows us to continue involvement in our patients’ hearing journey throughout the entire implant process.”

When Brian and Brandon decided to step away from performing with the group, Erica and Chris decided to keep going with their son Graham. Together, the new Anticipation sings at around 100 concerts together a year. They are out of Hannibal, MO and travel many miles every year, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Stewards of Hope Needs Your Help!



Stewards of Hope International of Highland 
needs your help in finding a new home!
The group is needing to move 
out of their current location and is looking for something in the Highland area that would fit their needs for storing, packaging and shipping items donated to them.
The ideal location would have the following:
 Minimum of 600ft
  Exterior door at least 6ft wide
 Overhead door with an 8ft clearance
 Temperature controlled for food storage
  24/7 Access

Capability to back up a truck to the access door to load and
unload the boxes we send.

Optimally, the space would have access to a platform for loading pallets onto a commercial truck for shipment to FL
(helpful but not a deal breaker)
If you or someone you know may be able to accommodate the Stewards of Hope of Highland, please contact Michele Korte Capelle at mcapelle@stewardsofhope.org or 618-304-9940
