Anderson Hospital Press Release - Nurse Awarded
PRESS RELEASE
EXTRAORDINARY NURSE RECOGNIZED AT ANDERSON HOSPITAL
August 6, 2024 (Maryville, IL) – Recovery and Postpartum Nurse, Ashli Duncan, RN, of Anderson Hospital’s Pavilion for Women was recently honored with The DAISY Award® For Extraordinary Nurses. The award is part of the DAISY Foundation's programs to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform every day.
The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation is based in Glen Ellen, CA, and was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.

Heart and Soul Yoga with Sharon
Attached is the August yoga class schedule.
Please note there are no classes August 5 - 9 and August 24.
There is a mini retreat scheduled for Sunday, August 11 from 7:00-8:30 pm. Just in time to help you find some release and relaxation before the new school year begins! Give yourself the gift of finding time for yourself by signing up for the mini yoga retreat! This is 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!
Payments can be through PayPal on the booking website, or you can option to pay in studio (using cash, check, credit card) or you can use Venmo.
As always...Thank you for supporting my small business and thank yourself for finding the time for YOU!

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
