Caregivers Support Group to Meet Oct. 12

September 27, 2023/by Lana Likens

The Caregivers Support Group offered by the Alzheimer’s Association will meet on Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023, at 4 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. in the Jefferson Community Health & Life Clinic Conference Room. The program for both sessions will be a video “Learning Not to Argue” from John Hopkins Medicine.

For October we are going to trial having two meeting times to determine which is the meeting time that best meets the needs of potential participants. If you are interesting in attending but neither time works for you, please contact Lana Likens at 402-729-6855 to discuss other possibilities.

Easiest access will be by parking in the H Street parking and entering through the JCH&L Main Entrance. Follow the signage to “Caregiver’s Support.”

The Caregiver’s Support Group is a program of the Alzheimer’s Association. The group meets on the second Thursday of each month in the JCH&L Clinic Conference Room.

The support group is designed for those who are caregivers and family members of those who have Alzheimer’s Disease or other dementias.  The group provide an opportunity anyone interested to share their experiences with Alzheimer’s Disease and learn from other’s experiences. There is no cost, and no pre-registration required.

For more information, contact Lana Likens at Jefferson Community Health & Life at 402-729-6855.

Nebraska Community Bloodbank Visits Oct. 9

September 18, 2023/by Lana Likens

FAIRBURY –The next Nebraska Community Bloodbank blood drive will be held on Monday, Oct. 9, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the mobile unit in the parking lot of JCH&L’s North Building, 825 22nd St.

With only 2-3 days of blood on hand, Nebraska Community Blood Bank has declared a blood emergency. We desperately need eligible donors to step up and help keep our local hospitals stocked.

Following the Labor Day holiday, donations of red blood cells and platelets dropped significantly. In addition to the start of cold and flu season, NCBB sees 50% fewer young blood donors and first-time donors than before the COVID-19 pandemic started—factors which contribute to the ongoing nationwide blood shortage.

All types are needed. Giving blood is giving a gift of life. Nebraska Community Bloodbank is Jefferson Community Health & Life’s blood supplier, and the two organizations partner for blood drives in Fairbury to save lives.

Appointments are recommended. To make an appointment, call JCH&L Outpatient Services at 402-729-6851, or visit NCBB.org/searchdrives and use sponsor code JCHC.

With iDonate you can save time by completing your health history on line ahead of your bloodmobile visit. To get started, visit mbc.org/iDonate

Aesthetics Available Soon at JCH&L

September 18, 2023/by Lana Likens

Aesthetic treatments will be available soon at Jefferson Community Health & Life, with services provided by Kirisha Afuh, FNP-C. JCH&L is now accepting appointments for free consultations, which begin Sept. 29. To make an appointment for a consultation or treatment, please call 402-729-6851.

JCH&L will offer both cosmetic and therapeutic injections.

Cosmetic neurotoxin injections (such as Botox® and Xeomin®) can relax the muscles on areas of the face and neck which cause wrinkles associated with facial expressions or facial pain. Treatment with neurotoxins can cause facial expression lines or wrinkles to be less noticeable. Areas most frequently treated are around the eyes, forehead and lips.

Cosmetic injections (removing or reducing wrinkles) are typically not covered by insurance. For cosmetic injections, payment is required the day of treatment. JCH&L will offer a Cosmetic Neurotoxin Loyalty card program.  Free consultations are offered for cosmetic services. At your consultation, you can discuss your needs, procedure recommendations and costs.

Therapeutic neurotoxin injections may be covered by some insurances for 1) TMJ dysfunction; 2) Bruxism (teeth grinding); 3) types of orofacial pain including headaches and migraines; or 4) Excessive sweating.  Therapeutic neurotoxin injections for medical purposes will typically be referred by a health care provider.

Therapeutic neurotoxins are diluted to a very controlled solution. When the solution is injected into the muscles with a very thin needle it is almost painless. Patients may feel a slight burning sensation during the injection. The procedure takes about 15- 20 minutes. Results are not permanent, but may last up to three months.

Treatment with dermal fillers can smooth out facial folds and wrinkles, add volume to the lips, and contour facial features that have lost their volume and fullness due to aging, sun exposure, illness, etc. Facial rejuvenation can be carried out with minimal complications. These dermal fillers are injected under the skin with a very fine needle. This lifts and smooths wrinkles and folds. Results may be seen immediately. Dermal filler treatments are not covered by insurance, and payment is required on the day of the treatment.

If you have questions for a medical professional trained in Aesthetics, Afuh can help. Afuh received certificates through Aesthetics Medical Educators Training and the American Academy of Facial Aesthetics. Her training included hands-on work with patients.

To make an appointment, call 402-729-3361, option 1.

JCH&L Continues Apprenticeship Program

September 15, 2023/by Lana Likens

A new program introduced by Jefferson Community Health & Life in the spring continues – giving area residents a chance to receive a degree in a new career with financial assistance, and commit to working at JCH&L.

The JCH&L Apprenticeship Program seeks apprentices for careers in nursing, radiology, laboratory, speech therapy and possibly other health care careers. For those accepted into the program and completing courses toward a degree, JCH&L will cover up to 100 percent of school tuition, books, and fees after other scholarships are applied.

“We feel it is very important for us to ‘grow our own’ future workers in much-needed areas in healthcare,” said Sandy Bauer, director human resources at JCH&L.

To be eligible, a person must have graduated from high school, be working toward graduating from high school  or have their GED. They must have an interest in a health care career. And they must have interest in helping others, being a team player and working at JCH&L in Fairbury after completion of their studies – and maybe while they are in school. The length of commitment to work at JCH&L would depend on the amount of educational costs that are covered by JCH&L.

“We hope, of course, that those who go through the program would want to work at JCH&L for the long term and become a part of our team,” Bauer said.

For those accepted into the program, a mentor will be provided. The mentor will be a current JCH&L employee in the apprentice’s field of study. If an apprentice is in need of additional help, a tutor will be arranged with the school.

“We are committed to doing everything we can to help our apprentices be successful,” Bauer said.

In some cases, apprentices may also have the opportunity for working hours at JCH&L during their education.

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. JCH&L encourages those who feel they might be interested to contact Sandy Bauer for more information.

For an application or more information, please contact Sandy Bauer at 402-729-6851, or email sandy.bauer@jchealthandlife.org.
