Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Wellness Center was recently granted a renewal of its three-year/Full accreditation designation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons.
Accreditation by the NAPBC is only given to those centers that have voluntarily committed to provide the highest level of quality breast care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance.

ReStore held its annual shopping spree for children on Friday evening...and Santa was there, too.
Each year, the community center provides a time for youngsters to pick out free gifts to give to parents and siblings. There are elves there to help wrap the presents, as well. Financial support for ReStore to purchase the new items to give away comes from the Hardin County Foundation.
Santa sat near the front door to hear the wish lists of the children before they began the shopping spree.

Hanson-Neely Funeral Home held its annual remembrance service on Saturday afternoon.
Family and friends nearly filled the funeral home to remember those lost. As they arrived, family members were given ornaments to be placed on a large tree. The ornaments were inscribed with the names of those to be remembered.
During the service, Marc and Linda Staley lighted the remembrance candle. Pastor Charles Moeller, of Lafayette Congregational Christian Church, gave the message titled “The Wonder of Immortality.” Pastor Don Klingler, of Alger First United Methodist Church, offered the prayer and read Scripture.
