WASHINGTON — Holiness Camp in Otwell

Otwell Holiness Camp will be held through July 15. Services will be held at 7:30 p.m. nightly and at 7 p.m. Sunday, with Evangelist Rev. Paul Mann.

‘Camelot’ canceled at Veale

Due to the loss of Karen Dorrell, a  member of the Veale Creek Theater family, the presentation of “Camelot” has been canceled. The show was slated for the first two weekends in August.

Foot Care Clinic scheduling

Daviess Community Hospital’s July 13 Foot Care Clinic located at Senior and Family Services in downtown Washington has appointments available.  

At the clinic, a registered nurse provides trimming and filing of toenails, lotion application, assessment of feet for any abnormalities, and instruction in proper foot care. If problems are found, participants receive assistance with referrals to their personal physician or a podiatrist.

Cost is $20 and appointments are necessary. Call the DCH Specialty Clinic at 254-8855.

Immunization clinics set up

The Daviess County Health Department will sponsor immunization clinics for children under the age of 19 years at the Eastside Park Community Building from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. July 17, and at the Odon Community Building from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Tuesday, July 31.

An immunization record is required. There is an $8 administration fee for each injection. Children under 18 years of age need to be accompanied by an adult. You may also call 254-8666 to schedule your child for an appointment for immunizations.

Blood sugar screening

Daviess Community Hospital will be providing free finger stick blood sugar screening for pre-diabetes and diabetes in the hospital lobby on  July 18, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. The public is invited.

According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes kills more people each year than breast cancer and AIDS combined.  Every 17 seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes and recent estimates project that as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have diabetes by the year 2050 unless management measures are put in place during the pre-diabetes stage.

Prediabetes or blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes almost always occurs before a person develops Type 2 diabetes. There are 79 million people in the United States who have prediabetes. Recent research has shown that some long-term damage to the body, especially the heart and circulatory system, may already be occurring during prediabetes so screening is important.

For more information, contact the hospital’s Diabetes Center at 254-8866.

Stafford family reunion set

The Stafford family reunion will be held July 22 at Floral Hall, Odon Park.
