News

May 17th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

The Cass County Health System Women’s Health Initiative is offering an educational program Thursday, May 22, 2014. Officials say Kim Kopp and Peggy Perkins will present a program at 2:00 pm at the Anita Public Library.

Kim Kopp, RN, CWOCN, is the CCHS Wound, Ostomy, Continence Director. She will speak about bladder health and incontinence. These are issues that affect many women as they age, and can be inconvenient and embarrassing at times. Kim will share simple techniques to improve daily life and independence, as well as some information about medical interventions available.

Peggy Dunbar, RN, is the CCHS Cardiac Rehab Director. Peggy will present information about cardiac health, risk factors to be aware of and how to reduce your risk of heart disease. While people sometimes think about heart disease as a men’s health issue, it actually is the leading cause of death among women, according to the American Heart Association.

The program is free of charge and no pre-registration is necessary. For more information, contact Kim or Peggy at Cass County Health System, 712-243-3250.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man accused of trying to abduct children in Omaha was arrested after leading police on a chase from Nebraska to Iowa and back. KETV reports that 23-year-old Sean Collins was arrested Thursday in Omaha’s Old Market district. Police say Collins fled from officers after they were called to a report of a motorist who was trying to lure two children, ages 6 and 10, into a van.

Officers say that when they found the van, the driver turned the lights off and a woman appeared to flee from an open door. The driver sped off, crossing into Council Bluffs and then back into Omaha on Interstate 480 before crashing into two vehicles.

Collins is charged with attempted abduction, attempted robbery, flight to avoid arrest and theft by receiving.
