Clinic Receives Mental Health Resource
League Grant ~ An $8000 grant from the
Mental Health Resource League will help
the Family Health Partnership Clinic
support nursing care to patients with
mental illness. Kathy Rauch,
Volunteer Coordinator, and Darlene
Pepke, Clinic Nurse, spoke at the Annual
Awards event held at Stage Left Café in
Woodstock.
Ms. Rauch noted the
similarities between the League, an all
volunteer organization, and the Clinic
which relies on volunteers for its
physician base as well as many
supportive functions including clerical
work, referral services, and pharmacy
management. The Clinic utilized over 500
volunteers at its Care 4 Breast Cancer
race this fall. The Mental Health
Resource League supports community
organizations through its two
fundraisers, Fair Diddley in May and
Fall Diddley in October. These events
draw thousands to the Woodstock Square
in spring and to the Boone County
Fairgrounds in fall. The Family Health
Partnership Clinic provides health care
to the uninsured of McHenry County and
relies on community support to provide
over 8400 patient visits annually. For
more information on the Clinic, visit
the website at
www.hpclinic.org.

Cardiac calcium scoring provided
Cardiovascular disease affects one in
four women over the age of 65.
That’s why Centegra Health System is
partnering with Cardiac Surgery
Associates (CSA), the largest heart
surgery physician group in Illinois, to
offer cardiac calcium scoring to women
ages 35 to 75. As the first Accredited
Chest Pain Center in the region,
Centegra’s emergency departments in
McHenry and Woodstock emphasize
immediate treatment of chest pain and
heart symptoms. A team of cardiologists
provides a full scope of heart-related
services. Those include diagnosis to
treatment to rehabilitation, while
incorporating open heart and valve
surgery and state-of-the-art imaging
capabilities. Cardiac calcium scoring is
a screening study used to check for the
probability of plaque, which can be
associated with other cardiac risk
factors for heart disease. This is a
non-invasive screening test that
requires no prep and takes about 30
minutes. Walk-ins are accepted. A
physician order is not required for an
appointment. Centegra medical imaging is
currently providing cardiac CT scans to
evaluate for coronary calcium scoring
for a total cost of $75. The cost
includes hospital charge and radiologist
fee. Payment is due at the same time an
appointment is scheduled. No insurance
will be billed. To schedule an
appointment, call 815-334-5566 or visit
www.centegra.org/heart.

2012 What does this year look like for
your business?
May I ask what you're doing to Change
things for 2012?
These are just a
few things you might consider if you
haven't done so already.
Generally, things won't pick up by
themselves. You do great work, there's
no question. But being the best kept
secret is not an asset. You have to make
yourself known to people who can benefit
from your services.
There's an
old saying, "For things to change,
things have to change." That simply
means that if you want your
circumstances to change, you're going to
have to change the way you're doing
things.
Some businesses just
like yours are actually thriving in the
current economy. They're having their
best year ever. And others like yours
are having tough times. What's the
difference? Same economy. Same town.
Same market. Same competition. Same
number of hours in a day. Same computer.
Same software. Same, same, same, same.
The difference has to be in what
you're either doing or not doing to let
your market know who you are, what
you've done for others, and what you can
do for them.
The simple fact is,
if you're not proactively doing things
to generate new business, things are
going to remain the same... or they're
going to degenerate, depending on the
economy, competition, people's needs,
and their attitudes.
You may
already be doing the things I described,
and if so, congratulations, you're on
your way. If not, you might consider
taking a look at what you can do to put
some of them into play.

success for your business. Call us and
let's talk. 815-675-9194.
PETS
IN NEED PET OF THE WEEK ~
Charlie was adopted from Pets In Need as
a kitten.
He is about 6 yrs old now. His family
had to move and didn't take him with. He
is sad and confused. He lived with
another cat and a couple kids, so he's
ready, willing and able to join your
family. What do ya say? If you would
like to meet him, please call or email
the shelter.
 Osito
is a 3 year old poodle with a very
unique name...
it means "little bear". And when he came
to us he sure did look like a little
bear before we gave him a bath and
groomed him a bit! He is not neutered
yet, but he is scheduled to be by the
end of January. He is a very sweet and
shy boy. Osito was a bit neglected and
needs a lot of love and attention. He is
only about 7 pounds but he has a big
heart.
 Buddy
is a 2 year old male Bichon/Poodle mix,
that weighs about 22 pounds. He came to
Pets In Need because his owner's
landlord wouldn't allow dogs anymore.
Buddy has a beautiful coat that looks
like a sheep! And he is great with
children, loves the outdoors and walks
especially. He is a very energetic pup
that loves to play.
