We’re celebrating how public health supports our everyday lives by helping families stay safe, improving quality of life, and strengthening our communities during National Public Health Week!

Our Community Health and Engagement team is committed to prevention, education, and outreach. Through programs and partnerships, we work to remove barriers and connect residents with the tools they need to live healthier lives.

Here are a few ways our Community Health and Engagement team provides support:
• To***co cessation resources and connection to programs
• Free blood pressure and screenings at community events
• Car seat checks and safety education for families
• Workshops on chronic disease, nutrition, exercise, and healthy lifestyles
• Injury prevention education, including safe sleep, fall prevention, and distracted driving awareness
• Grant funding for local nonprofits aligned with community health needs

Our work is guided by the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), focusing on the region’s most pressing health challenges, ranging from chronic disease prevention to access to care and health education.

You can find resources and more on our CHNA priority areas at ReidCommunities.org. There you can explore programs, find helpful information, and connect with services for you and your family.

Join us this week in recognizing our Community Health and Engagement team and the work they do every day.

We’re proud to welcome you to the new Reid Connersville Emergency Department at 2500 Park Road, now open 24/7 to serve our community.

As the sun rose on April 8, we officially closed our Virginia Avenue Emergency Department, symbolizing both an ending and a new beginning.

Angie McMullen, RN, shared a final sign-off at our longtime Virginia Avenue location, a heartfelt moment honoring the years, memories, and lives touched there. From its beginnings as Fayette County Memorial Hospital in 1913 to today, that space has meant so much to so many. We carry the compassion and commitment built there into this next chapter at Park Road.

If you need immediate care, visit us at 2500 Park Road. We’re here for you, day or night.

Caring for patients goes beyond what happens at the bedside or during an office visit.

Throughout a patient’s health journey, we have staff members working in roles that directly impact care and those that are more behind-the-scenes in nature.

Take Lori Westover for example.

A payor authorization specialist with our Contact Center, she works to ensure patients get the care they need, when they need it.

“I’ve always been an advocate for our patients. There are many ways to take care of them, from nursing to financial well-being,” Lori said.

“I enjoy making sure our patients are seen as soon as possible for their care and that I can ease a time of stress in their life by helping ensure they don’t have to worry about the financial aspect of it as well.”

And that’s what made Lori a perfect choice to be our Ambassador for the month of April.

Whether you’re a student-athlete, weekend runner, or just an active older adult (pickleball, anyone? 😊), foot and ankle injuries can be a common issue.

Dr. Travis McKellar, one of our board-certified providers at Reid Health Podiatry, walks you through the foot injuries he sees most often and why getting a diagnosis early is so important in his latest blog post: https://reidhealth.org/Healthy-Communities/Reid-Health-Tips-News-and-Stories/Blog/Search/Sports-injuries_-What-athletes-should-know-about-foot-and-ankle-pain.

And coming soon, getting quick care for a foot injury will be even easier! Starting April 7, Dr. McKellar will begin seeing patients at Reid Health Orthopedics Greenville for Turnaround Tuesdays.

Anyone can walk into our Greenville office on Tuesdays, no appointment needed.

If you can’t get to Greenville, give Reid Health Podiatry a call at (765) 962-4444. We can usually get you an appointment within the same week, if not the same day.

Foot or ankle pain from sports? A podiatrist at Reid Health explains common athletic injuries and when to seek expert care.

It’s moving week!

Over the next seven days, we’ll be opening our new Reid Health Connersville campus in three phases:

We can’t wait to get started serving you at the new campus!
