HCHF & Patterson Health Center To Offer Free MammogramsBy Kathy ZimmermanHCHF Project ManagerIn October we wear pink to remind everyone of the importance of annual mam-mogram screenings. Don’t let concerns about expenses keep you from scheduling your mammogram. Most insurance policies cover mammograms for women over age 40, but, if you are uninsured or you are under age 40 and have concerns, the Harper County Health Foundation and Patterson Health Center are once again offering free mammo-grams Oct. 16-20. Appoint-ments can be made by call-ing 620-914-1200 Ext. 5005.Last year, during free mammogram week, 30 unin-sured women were able to be screened and many others from the community were inspired to have their an-nual check, for a total of 74 mammograms in one week at Patterson Health Center.Local merchants are of-fering events to raise funds and awareness to ensure that free mammograms can be offered again next year. Country Girl Bakery & Mar-ket kicked off the campaign in September, raising $375 for the project.

Each stu-dent was nominated by their hospital's CEO to be part of the group. Helping to build future health care leaders is important to KHA."We are committed to strengthening and promot-ing the leadership capac-ity of hospital employees in Kansas," Chad Austin, pres-ident and CEO of KHA, said.The curriculum of the program was structured to enhance each student's leadership abilities. It was divided into ﬁve courses: 1) Explaining the dif-ference between leadership and management, identify-ing organizational values and creating a positive orga-nizational climate;2) Enhancing communi-cation skills and grassroots advocacy;3) Team building - includ-ing how to lead a team and how to be part of a team;4) Conﬂict and conﬂict management;5) KHA Annual Conven-tion and Trade Show.Each student was nomi-nated because their CEO recognized their potential to be future leaders and want-ed to help cultivate that de-velopment.“JB was nominated for this opportunity because he demonstrates many of the attributes we value at Patterson Health Center," Teaff said. "We are proud of his dedication and his effort to improving our organiza-tion through his leadership skills.”Dear Editor & Readers,We are so blessed to serve and love this community since 2009.

Dept. On Aging: Medicare Scam AwarenessBy Jennifer WolffKansas Scam Alert: It’s been reported that scam-mers are cold-calling Medi-care beneﬁciaries claim-ing to be from the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services. KDADS will never cold-call Medi-care beneﬁciaries about their Medicare cards or ser-vices. If you receive one of these calls, and you have not requested assistance from the Senior Health Insur-ance Counseling for Kansas (SHICK) program, hang up and call the SHICK Hotline at 1-800-860-5260 to report these scams. Our ofﬁce is tracking how many ben-eﬁciaries receive these calls, and we will report them to KDADS.In another scam, some people with Medicare are getting lots of unordered COVID tests in the mail, and Medicare is getting the bill. Or you may not get tests but ﬁnd charges for tests on your Medicare statement. Fraud, along with mistakes and abuse, cost Medicare an estimated $60 billion each year. If you have Medicare, here are some things to con-sider.Read your Medicare Summary Notices (MSN) and Explanations of Ben-eﬁts (EOB), either on pa-per or at Medicare.gov. When you read each state-ment, look for services, prod-ucts, or equipment Medicare paid for but you did not get. Do the statements show any double charges or things you or your doctor didn’t ask for?If you suspect Medicare fraud, call your health care provider or Medicare plan and ask for an explanation. If you are not satisﬁed with their response, call Medi-care at 1-800-MEDICARE. If you received COVID tests you did not order, tell the Health and Human Services Ofﬁce of Inspector Gener-al at 1-800-HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477).Remember, always pro-tect your Medicare Number and treat your Medicare card like it’s a credit card.

Governor Laura Kelly and Kansas Transportation Secretary Calvin Reed to-day announced that 35 lo-cal and off-system bridge projects across the state will receive a combined total of $42.3 million as part of two local bridge improvement programs that capitalize on new revenue from the fed-eral Bipartisan Infrastruc-ture Law (BIL). Combined with matching funds from the awarded cities and coun-ties, the total project value is nearly $48.8 million. By re-shaping the local bridge pro-grams to take advantage of BIL, the Kansas Department of Transportation more than doubled its annual funding as part of the existing Eisen-hower Legacy Transporta-tion Program (IKE). The project announcements took place in Dodge City to high-light the largest local bridge grant being awarded: $7 million for the construction of a new northbound bridge on 14th Avenue over the Ar-kansas River. The Kansas Department of Transporta-tion’s Off-System Bridge program (OSB) is awarding $20.5 million in Fiscal Year 2025 funds to 20 projects across the state. The Kansas Local Bridge Improvement Program (KLBIP) is award-ing $21.8 million in Fiscal Year 2024 KDOT funds to 15 projects, with 16 deﬁ-cient bridges to be replaced and an additional 12 to be permanently removed from local systems. The OSB and KLBIP are targeted for city and county bridges not on the state highway system and in need of replacement or repair. Funds for both pro-grams are awarded through an application process and, in most cases, require a lo-cal contribution. KDOT uses selection criteria that include bridge condition, detour length, inability to carry legal loads, and past project history. For this cycle of the local bridge programs, KDOT received a combined total of 176 applications re-questing $162.4 million.Harper County: N.W. 110 Avenue - 0.5 miles west, 3.7 miles north of Attica over W. Branch Bluff Creek. The Local Cost (match/non-par-ticipating, utilities, etc.) is $78,213. The local percent match requirement is 5%. The maximum KDOT match funds available is $580,800. The funds for bridge removal is $69,200. The maximum funds awarded is $650,000.Governor Kelly Announces 35 Local Bridge Projects, Including Harper CountyGovernor Announces Cities To Receive Money For Highway Improvements, Includes HarperGovernor Laura Kelly an-nounced that 27 cities across Kansas will receive a total of $22 million for projects to im-prove intersections and state highways extending through cities as part of the Kansas Department of Transpor-tation’s City Connecting Link Improvement Program (CCLIP).

Pay attention to ﬁre prevention™,” works to educate everyone about sim-ple but important actions they can take to keep them-selves and those around them safe when cooking. Cooking SafetyDid you know? Cooking ﬁres are the leading cause of home ﬁres and home ﬁre in-juries. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of cook-ing ﬁres and deaths.What can you do? The good news is you can pre-vent most cooking ﬁres and burns. Help keep your fam-ily safer with some simple but effective tips.• Turn pot handles to-ward the back of the stove. Always keep a lid nearby when cooking. If a small grease ﬁre starts, slide the lid over the pan and turn the burner off.• Watch what you heat. Set a time to remind you that you are cooking.• Have a ‘kid-free-zone’ About Fire Prevention Weekof at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried.Importance of FirePreventionIn a ﬁre, mere seconds can mean the difference between a safe escape and a tragedy. Fire safety edu-cation isn’t just for school children. Teenagers, adults, and the elderly are also at risk in ﬁres, making it im-portant for every member of the community to take some time every October during Fire Prevention Week to make sure they understand how to stay safe in case of a ﬁre.FPW HistorySince 1922, the NFPA has sponsored the public ob-servance of Fire Prevention Week. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national observance, mak-ing it the longest-running public health observance in our country. During Fire Prevention Week, children, adults, and teachers learn how to stay safe in case of a ﬁre. Fireﬁghters provide lifesaving public education in an effort to drastically de-crease casualties caused by ﬁres.Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration of the Great Local matching funds are re-quired based on city popula-tion. In total for this CCLIP cycle, KDOT received 60 ap-plications requesting $53 million. CCLIP projects can be submitted in three catego-ries: Surface Preservation, which involves maintenance work such as resurfacing; Courtesy PhotoCRAZY SOCK NIGHT: October 5th was declared crazy sock night at Eastern Star and four wonderful people partici-pated.

Our outside meeting place is . When I hear the “beep, beep, beep” of a smoke alarm, I get outside and stay outside. We practice our home fire drill 2 times a year. We practice during the day and at night. The last time we practiced was. We will practice again . I know that some things are hot or can get hot. I stay away from hot things because I can get burned. We have a 3 –foot (1 –meter) “kid-free” zone around hot things like the stove, grill, fireplace, and space heater. We also have a “kid-free” zone when hot food and drinks are being served. Space heaters are turned off whenever a grown-up leaves the room or goes to bed. I ALWAYS charge my phone on something hard like a bedside table, counter, or desk. I DON’T charge under my pillow, on my bed, or on a couch because that could start a fire. If I see matches and lighters, I don’t touch. I walk away and tell a grown-up.Sparky here with a challenge for you. Use this checklist to go on a safety huntaround your home.
