The next in a series of “Heathy U” programs sponsored by Cass County Health Systems will take place Thursday, June 25th, beginning at noon, in Conference Room 2 at the Cass County Memorial Hospital, in Atlantic.
Guest speaker is Dr. Elaine Berry, who will address the topic of “End of Life Care.”
End of life care is a difficult topic, but knowing your loved one’s wishes, or having your own wishes known, can make this time easier to navigate for all. Dr. Berry will discuss the issues involved and answer questions. Dr. Berry joined Atlantic Medical Center in 1988, where she provides the full spectrum of family medical care. She has served as medical director of Cass County Hospice since 1990, and in 2008 became the only certified Hospice and Palliative Care Physician in southwest Iowa. Dr. Berry also serves as the medical director of Cass County Emergency Services and is the Cass County Medical Examiner.
Healthy U is a free educational series that focuses on a different health topic each month. Medical professionals present an educational program and attendees receive a healthy sack lunch to enjoy during the program. Future topics will include dementia, joint health, and diabetes. For more information, or to make a reservation for the June 25th Healthy U, call 712-243-7479.
As season ticket sales continue to drop Iowa officials are getting creative in hopes of filling Kinnick Stadium for the upcoming football season. The Hawkeyes will begin offering fans three game ticket packages today and Associate Athletic Director Rick Klatt says fans will be allowed to design their own three game plan.
As recently as 2011 Iowa sold out Kinnick Stadium for the entire season but season ticket sales for this season are expected to only reach 30 thousand. Klatt says if there is a silver lining it may be the opportunity to get new fans into the stadium.
A home schedule with no marquee opponents is a factor in the drop in season ticket sales but the biggest factor is fan dissatisfaction in a program that has declined in recent years and finished with a 7-6 record in 2014. The cost of the three game ticket package is 157 dollars. Iowa opens the season at home on September fifth against Illinois State.
