We hosted our annual ALS Day with UIHC residents/medical students.

We toured farms where we learned about safety when working animals or injuries they may encounter in patients involved in farming accidents They were able to see how big and unpredictable livestock and equipment can be.

We shopped at Delta Grocery (Dixie’s) and found many treasures and snacks. I don’t know anyone that loves their job and community more than Dixie. Shes been serving the community for 60 years!!

Exceptional Edge hosted us for lunch provided by KCHC and industrial tools/equpiment demonstrations. We saw many different saws, torch, welder and various equipment.

We toured KCHC and explained how our critical hospital operates and all the services we have to offer!

Double Deuce provided our transportation for the day!

Thank you to everyone involved to make this day happen!!

What an honor to host an event of this caliber.
