Horn Public Health Holds Flu Clinic for Children

Horn Memorial Public Health will be offering seasonal flu shots for children 6 months through 18 years of age on Tuesday, October 22 from 1-5 p.m. in the Horn Memorial Community Health office at 700 East Second Street. The clinic is for children 6 months through 18 years of age with Medicaid, no insurance or insurance that does not cover immunizations. The vaccine is available free of charge through the Vaccine For Children (VFC) program. There is a $14 charge for the administration of the vaccine. Medicaid pays for the administration fee.

 Influenza is a highly contagious viral infection. Symptoms include fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose and muscle aches. Stomach symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, also can occur but are more common in children than adults. In children, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include: fast or trouble breathing, bluish skin color, not drinking enough fluids, not waking up or not interacting, being so irritable that the child does not want to be held, flu-like symptoms improve but then return with a fever or worse cough or fever with a rash.

 Flu viruses mainly spread from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with the flu. Sometimes the flu spreads when people touch something with the flu virus on it and then touch their mouth or nose.

 The single best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated each year. About two weeks after vaccination, antibodies develop that protect against influenza virus infection.

Horn Memorial Hospital Expands Outpatient Services

Horn Memorial Hospital has been busy expanding outpatient services. Within the past month, sports medicine, home sleep studies, and a pain clinic have been added to the already impressive list of outpatient services provided locally at Horn Memorial Hospital. In addition, the OB/GYN clinic has increased to a weekly schedule and dermatology services have returned. This expansion is a reflection of Horn’s ongoing efforts to provide as many services as possible locally to our patients.

The Pain Clinic, provided by Charlie Delaney, CRNA, provides consultations and relief for many types of back pain. Patients who suffer with lower back pain, shooting pain down their leg, numbness, and other similar symptoms may find relief through an injection procedure. This service is provided by referral only; you must first see your healthcare provider to determine if you are a candidate for a pain relief injection.

Home Sleep Studies are now provided through the Respiratory Therapy Department. Pat Stevens, Respiratory Therapy Director, was instrumental in seeing the need for this up and coming alternative to detect sleep apnea. Pat states “patients often put off a sleep test to avoid the in-house sleep lab experience. I find that with a home sleep study, patients can be in the comfort of their own home and get similar and sometimes even better results.” Talk with your healthcare provider to see if you would benefit from a home sleep study.

Sports Medicine, now offered by Dr. Benjamin Bissell, expands orthopaedic services provided by Dr. Steven Meyer. Dr. Bissell comes from CNOS in Dakota Dunes, and is a board certified and fellowship trained orthopaedic sports medicine surgeon. He will provide expert care in both sports medicine and general orthopaedics. His expertise includes hip arthroscopy, complex shoulder arthroscopy, knee stabilization including ACL reconstruction, shoulder and knee arthroscopy and general orthopaedic trauma. Dr. Bissell will see patients at Horn Memorial Hospital on Monday afternoons and Dr. Meyer will continue to see patients on Wednesdays. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Bissell or Dr. Meyer call 605.217.2667.

Dr. Karl Hasik, OB/GYN, recently increased his clinic schedule at Horn Memorial to weekly. He will now see patients every Wednesday morning for prenatal care and women’s health issues. Horn Memorial manages the scheduling for Dr. Hasik’s clinic, call 364.3311 for an appointment. Dermatology Services have returned effective October 8th.

Christina Warren, ARNP, comes to us from Radiant Complexions Dermatology Clinics of Des Moines. She will see patients the second Tuesday of the month at an all-day clinic. Christina routinely offers treatment for: acne, psoriasis, aging/wrinkles, rashes, allergic reactions, fungal infections, hair and nail problems, and other common dermatological issues. Horn Memorial also schedules the appointments for this clinic – call 364.3311 for an appointment.

Horn is pleased to provide the above services locally to our patients. In addition to these new and expanded services the following are also available through the Outpatient Clinic: Cardiology, ENT, General Surgery, Nephrology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Podiatry, Pulmonary, and Urology. For more information on any of these outpatient services contact the Jill Webb, Outpatient Director at 364.3311.

The HMH Foundation Brings Nashville Artists to Ida Grove for Annual Fundraiser

The Horn Memorial Hospital Foundation is planning its 14th annual Fall Festival set for Friday, November 1st at the Ida Grove Skate Palace. This festive evening will include cocktails, dinner, auctions, and entertainment!

This year’s theme, “Denim and Diamonds”, will reflect the atmosphere for the evening’s entertainment, Brasher/Bogue, a country-rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. Dale Ullrich, former Foundation Board Chair, suggested this group to the Foundation after seeing them perform last year at Lake Fest in Storm Lake. Dustin Bogue, who brings the “Bogue” to “Brasher/Bogue” is a Sac City Native. He now resides in Nashville where he and his band mates enjoy a busy touring schedule.

Sarah Harm, Public Relations Director comments, “Horn Memorial continues to provide a large variety of services right here in our local community. The Foundation’s role provides vital support to the hospital to help stay current with both services and equipment. The annual Fall Festival is one of the main ways the Foundation raises funds for the hospital and is a tradition that we hope to continue for many years to come. We have another great evening planned with dinner and entertainment that all ages are sure to enjoy.” 
Tickets for the banquet are pre-sale only and on sale now at Horn Memorial Hospital or from any of the following Foundation Board members: Shari Blake, Marty Boyle, Kathy Edsen, Amy Godbersen, Gayle Harrison, Alex Murphy, Diane Patera, Cyndi Rock-Raasch, Lynn Segerstrom, and Kathy Wilke. Attendees are encouraged to arrive between 5:30 and 6:00 in order to view all of the elaborate table decorations and auction items. Dinner will be served at 6:15 p.m. followed by the live auction and performance.
