FAITH
in ACTION |
|

For someone with long-term health needs,
something as simple as changing a light bulb can
mean the difference between maintaining or losing
independence. Thankfully, Faith in action
volunteers in Carrington can help bring light back
into the lives of those with long-term health needs.
Our program is a new part of Carrington Health
Center that connects volunteers to neighbors in
need. We bring together volunteers of many
faiths to help people in our community with
long-term health needs or disabilities maintain
their independence for as long as possible by
providing non-medical assistance with daily
activities.
Volunteer activities include shopping for groceries,
providing rides to medical appointments, cooking
meals, doing light housework, running errands and
providing companionship through visits or phoning.
Volunteers also may provide respite care and relief
for family caregivers.
The Faith in Action program is beginning here in
Carrington and needs your time and talents.
Just a few hours a month can make the world of
difference.
Become the Hands and Feet of Jesus; put your Faith
in Action! For more information, contact Faith
in Action of Carrington Health Center coordinator:
Jan Bakke at 652-7218. |

Increasing Cases of Measles
Reported in the United States -
Department of Health Reminds Parents of the Importance of
Vaccinating Their Children |
|
Our local Foster County
nurses are interested in getting out the following message which
was posted FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE on April 27, 2011, from the
North Dakota Department of Health Division of Disease Control:
BISMARCK, N.D. – The North Dakota Department of Health is
reminding parents of the importance of vaccinations as measles
cases are on the rise in the United States and outbreaks are
ongoing in numerous states, including Minnesota ...
“Measles can be a severe, life-threatening
illness,” said Abbi Pierce, immunization surveillance
coordinator for the North Dakota Department of Health. “This
outbreak serves as a reminder that measles cases can and still
do occur in the United States . Measles is a disease that
reappears when immunization coverage rates fall, so getting
yourself and your loved ones immunized is a safe and effective
way to protect yourself against this disease.”
