Mary Breckinridge ARH Hospital, known for its long and rich history of innovative medical care, is a 25-bed critical access hospital located in Hyden, Kentucky. Much like the ARH system, Mary Breckinridge Hospital has a colorful history that has shaped medical care in Eastern Kentucky. The hospital was originally opened by midwife Mary Breckinridge who founded the Frontier Nursing Service in Leslie County to provide healthcare for mothers and babies in remote rural areas.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16

Christians are to rejoice. To do that, you need only to think of the great things God has done for you. Then we are told not to be anxious, but in our prayers to make our requests known to God. In your biggest problems you have One to whom you can go; and before Him you can pour out your heart with the assurance that He will not leave you without an answer to that great problem. Then we are to fill our minds with those things that are good. They are mentioned in the Scriptures as being things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and of virtue. It is upon these things that we are to think. Live positively, not negatively. Once you learn that secret, God will have given you the victory.

🚨 **Health Alert: Understanding Abdominal Pain!** 🚨

Abdominal pain can be more than just a simple discomfort; it can signal various health issues. From food poisoning and intestinal obstructions to infections, appendicitis, kidney stones, and peptic ulcers, it’s essential to pay attention to what your body is telling you.

If you're experiencing mild abdominal pain, it's a good idea to reach out to your doctor for advice. However, if the pain strikes suddenly, is severe, or persists for more than 30 minutes, don’t hesitate—seek emergency medical care immediately. Your health is a priority, and getting timely help can make all the difference.

Stay informed and take care of yourself! Remember, it’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your health. 💙 Learn more about abdominal pain at https://ecs.page.link/v9o3X

Christ died and rose again . . . so that he can be our Lord both while we live and when we die. Romans 14:9 (TLB)

With a frequency that is amazing, the Bible affirms the fact of the bodily resurrection of Christ. Perhaps the most direct of all its statements is Luke’s account in the book of Acts, where he reports, “To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days” (Acts 1:3). What are we going to do with these “many infallible proofs”? Someone asked my colleague George Beverly Shea how much he knew about God. He said, “I don’t know much, but what I do know has changed my life.” We may not be able to take all this evidence into a scientific laboratory and prove it; but, if we accept any fact of history, we must accept the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

“It’s not about how much you give. It’s about showing that you care and that you’re willing to help.” – Rod Morgan, Occupational Therapist at Morgan County ARH Hospital

Rod has built his career helping patients through therapy and rehabilitation. That same dedication to caring for others extends beyond his patients, he gives to the ARH Foundation's Employee Emergency Assistance Fund to support fellow employees in their times of need. Our employees give. Will you?
