Sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency that happens when the body’s response to infection harms its own tissues and organs. It leads to more than 350,000 adult deaths each year in the U.S. Recognizing the signs early is critical. Remember, it’s about TIME:

T – Temperature: higher or lower than normal
I – Infection: signs or symptoms of infection
M – Mental decline: confusion, sleepiness, or difficult to rouse
E – Extremely ill: severe pain or discomfort

If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

Recently at ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital of Elwood-St. Joseph, there was a special celebration. Two years ago, Donnie Rasmussen made the transition from a patient success story to a co-worker. To mark the occasion, he asked Speech-Language Pathologist Eryn Graham to read a few words he had written.

The life transitions witnessed at the hospital aren’t limited to the physical. This was evident in the return of health, hope, and happiness seen in Donnie. He did not want to leave ClearSky Elwood-St. Joseph and was offered employment. He now has the opportunity to be around the team that supported his recovery, this time in a position to give back to others.

Dementia is often thought to only affect older adults, but approximately 1 in 1,000 people under the age of 65 develop dementia. Known as young onset dementia, it can impact those in their 40s and 50s, who may still be working, raising children, and managing significant financial responsibilities.

These individuals face unique challenges, including limited access to age-appropriate support and services. Planning ahead can help manage these challenges and ensure that future needs and wishes are addressed.
