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.”

Heart and Soul Yoga with Sharon
Below are the July & August schedules as well as the information for the upcoming Sunday, June 30th Mini Gratitude Retreat. There is also a mini retreat scheduled for Sunday, August 11th from 7:00-8:30 pm. These are all available to book on the booking website (momyoga - linked below).
I have changed the class membership a little to make it more streamlined and simple. I have eliminated the weekly class series option and only have class passes now - which are good for 2 months (you pick and choose the classes you wish to attend during that 2 months). Of course, you can continue to sign up for just the one class series (same class each week) for the 2 month time period utilizing these class passes.
There will be 6,7, 8, 9 and 10 class passes available. If you need assistance with signing up for classes, please reach out.
Use the momoyoga link below to get to your account (or create one) to book your class(es).
Hope to see you in a yoga class soon!

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
