Please join us in congratulating our April EMH Employee of the Month, Julee Snyder! Julee's employee of the month nomination included:

Julee shows a lot of HEART for our Hospital. She keeps it looking nice and celebrates holidays and special events, which helps make the hospital look festive and fun. She is thoughtful of others and has a giving heart. I feel like Julee does a lot for our hospital and doesn’t always get the credit that she deserves. She is always thinking of others and always offers to help when she sees that you are busy and may need help. Julee is also always quick to do nice things for other people and is thoughtful to her coworkers, always treating them with respect.

Julee serves as our Administrative Assistant and also helps serve the hospital as a member of our Bereavement Committee and helping out the EMH Foundation with fundraising events. Thank you for all you do Julee! Congratulations!

Every March, the American Optometrist Association Optometric Association promotes Save Your Vision Month. Save Your Vision Month is an annual observance focused on the importance of routine eye exams and proactive vision care. Eye health can easily be overlooked and this March we want to remind everyone to be proactive in taking care of their vision health.

What can you do?

-Attend routine preventive eye exams (every 2-3 years)
-Wear sunglasses when outdoors to block UV rays (this can help decrease risk of cataracts)
-Wear protective safety glasses when needed
- Manage screen time to reduce digital eye strain. Practice the 20-20-20 rule - every 20 minutes, take a 20 second break from looking at the screen and focus your vision on something 20 feet away from you.
-Eat a vision-health diet, rich in leafy greens
-Maintain healthy life habits such as exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking

If you are overdue for a preventative eye exam, give the EMH Outpatient Clinic a call and ask about scheduling an appointment at one of our monthly ophthalmology clinics with Dr. Chetan Soni.

Yesterday members of EMH staff, Kayla Orear, Jessica Ransdell, Rebecca Conn-Smith, and Michelle Siegismund represented Ellett at Hume High School’s Reality Day. Reality Day is an annual collaborative event with the University of Missouri Extension Office, rootEd, and the Missouri Scholarship & Loan Foundation which focuses on helping students build financial skills and explore post–high school options. This year’s event hosted 191 students from several schools.

From 9:15-9:35 EMH hosted the Healthcare Panel, where they had the chance to speak with 35 students who are interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. Afterwards all 191 students rotated around Community Connections stations. At the EMH station they were given informational resources on healthcare careers and guided through an interactive X-ray activity with EMH Radiology Manager, Michelle Siegismund.

The event wrapped up with lunch options from two food trucks and an exciting BMX show by Stunt Dudes. Thank you to Hume Root Ed for inviting EMH to participate in this event!
