Say hello to sweet baby Lucas, our first arrival of the New Year at Community Hospital North! Born at 7:35am on New Year's Day, Lucas weighed 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and measured 20 inches long. Congratulations to proud parents Mason and Ashley Godby from Orestes, Indiana—and a special shout-out to Dad, who keeps us all safe as a security officer here at the hospital. Welcome to the world, little one!

Nearly 250 Mudsock Quilters spent the past year working on this labor of love!

Please join us on December 1 as we celebrate the fight to end the HIV epidemic on World AIDS Day. We’ll be offering free HIV testing at the Infectious Disease Office located within the 7250 building at Community Hospital North. This free test only takes one minute to process, and is given by a trained HIV specialist. Our specialists will help you make a risk reduction plan as well. These tests are completely confidential and come with no judgement, just information on how to prevent HIV.

We encourage you to join our Ryan White Services team at Community in honoring individuals who have passed, as well as celebrating the progress made in combatting the virus. Remember that testing is prevention, and the earlier the diagnosis the better the outcome.

Testing hours are on December 1 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the 7250 building located within Community Hospital North.

Jessica Jones, the mother of one of our NICU graduates, is celebrating her son's memory in a special way by showing love and support to other NICU families during the holidays. Jace Jones would have turned 4 years old on October 30. Jace was in the NICU at Community Hospital North for 66 days. After leaving the NICU, Jessica said her son was later hospitalized and passed away at 7 months old. In Jace’s honor, Jessica and her family chose to start a yearly fundraiser in his name for his birthday. They use donations to assemble care packages for families who will be spending the holidays with their babies in the NICU. The baskets were filled with gift cards, baby items, and a lot of love.
