MEDIA RELEASE__Since 2024 the Village of Ada has been working to improve emergency weather notification coverage throughout the Village. As of this morning, two new warning sirens have been installed and are fully operational.

The idiom “keeping up with the Joneses” refers to social pressure to match or keep up with the wealth or status of your neighbors. In 2016, this common idiom was made into an action-comedy film starring Jon Hamm.

MEDIA RELEASE__ONU HealthWise Pharmacy now offers a free Remote Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) program for Medicaid patients with diabetes. Eligible patients receive a free wearable CGM device and ongoing remote support from a pharmacist via phone or text to help monitor blood sugar in real time, improve diabetes management, and reduce barriers to care.
This service was developed after recognizing that many Medicaid patients with diabetes face barriers to consistent glucose monitoring and follow-up care. Cost, transportation, limited appointment availability, and lack of real-time data often make it difficult for patients to manage their blood sugar effectively.
