For the second straight year, thanks to the dedication of Chris Meredith of Med Center IT, and his daughter, Toys for Tots Youth Ambassador, Darby Meredith, 40 Med Center Health locations will serve as Toys for Tots donation centers.

Boxes have begun getting set up. We ask that all new, unwrapped toy donations be for children 12 and under. Please do not put any names on the donation. Most importantly, ALL donations stay local to the county where they were given. Toys for Tots does request that you stay away from electronic accessories like ear buds, Bluetooth devices, etc. Most kids in need do not have devices that these items could be used.

Toys for Tots makes a difference in the lives of the less fortunate children in our communities. In 2024, more than 31,000 children received toys through local Toys for Tots programs in 17 Kentucky counties.

Families wishing to sign up to receive toys can call 270-562-0518.

To make monetary donations or to find out more about what you can do, visit www.toysfortots.org or our page: https://www.facebook.com/toysfortotsbgky.

👻 Everyone loves a good scare on Halloween, but not when it comes to the safety of those little trick-or-treaters. Fortunately, there are lots of easy things parents and kids can do to stay safe on the spookiest of holidays.

🎃 Check out this list from Safe Kids Worldwide below:
🔦 Carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors to help kids see and be seen by drivers.
🧡 Join kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating.
🚗 Slow down and be alert! Kids are excited on Halloween and may dart into the street. Turn on headlights early in the day to spot kids from further away.
✅ Remind kids to cross the street at corners or crosswalks.
✅ When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls.
👀 Choose face paint over masks when possible. Masks can limit children’s vision.

Many women think the signs of a heart attack 💔 are unmistakable, but that may not be the case for everyone. Many signs are not obvious and might be confusing, leading women to think their heart attack is acid reflux, the flu or normal aging.

The best way to know if what you're experiencing is a heart attack is to be seen by a medical professional. If you have any of these signs, call 911, and get to a hospital 🚨 right away.
