Praise
for ALMH
10-8-01
To the editor:
I would like to let people
in this community know about my experience in the ALMH Emergency
Room. I sent the following letter to ALMH before I left Lincoln.
Woody Hester, CEO
Abraham Lincoln
Memorial Hospital
Lincoln, IL 62656
Dear Sir,
Going
on a vacation is fun, but ending up in an emergency room is not part
of the vacation plan.
Finding
it necessary to seek out your hospital on the evening of Tuesday,
Oct. 2, I was pleasantly surprised. First, I found an immaculate
facility with a more-than-adequate staff to tend to my needs
immediately.
I was
taken to my cubicle by the capable nurse Harlyne, who hooked me up
to the necessary apparatus while reassuring me in a friendly and
caring manner. The emergency room doctor, Dr. Pinter, was with me
quickly and was also friendly and reassuring. He arranged for a
blood work-up and another test, while Teri, the technician, who was
also very capable and kind, drove over from Mount Pulaski to
administer the necessary diagnostic test.
I was
surprised to learn that this test would be read immediately by
doctors in Springfield via the computer.
The
level of professionalism with which I was treated was such that when
I was allowed to leave, I felt completely confident that I had
nothing seriously wrong and that if I followed the doctor’s
recommendations I would be fine. That proved to be the case.
In
farewell, nurse Harlyne gave me a hug and said she was glad there
was nothing seriously wrong. I have been in many emergency rooms,
but I have never had such a caring response from the people in
charge.
Thank
you, staff, one and all, for making my stay so reassuring.
The
people of the Lincoln area are fortunate to have such a facility.
I do
have one recommendation. Please light your emergency sign clearly,
so people from out of town can find your emergency room quickly.

Thanks
from Logan County Arts Association
10-2-01
To
the editor:
On
behalf of the Logan County Arts Association I would like to
personally thank the people of Lincoln and surrounding area for
their support of our first event, "Music, Magic, and
More," sponsored by Gossett Decorator Studio.
We
look forward to our next event, on Oct. 11 at the Lincoln Theater.
We will be showing "Casablanca" in the original uncut
version. Check out our great 1940s vintage period poster of the
movie located on the south-side front window of the theater.
As
always, thanks for supporting the arts.
Sincerely,
Marshall
H. Jacobs
President
Logan
County Arts Association
