What is Safe Sleep? Health experts recommend that infants sleep alone, on their back, in a crib or pack-and-play with a firm mattress and fitted sheet. The sleep area should be free of loose items such as blankets, pillows, bumper pads, or toys. Babies should always sleep in a smoke-free environment and in the parents’ room—but not in their bed—for at least the first six months. To keep infants warm safely, use a sleep sack instead of blankets.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to come together to support those fighting breast cancer, to honor the survivors and to remember those we have lost. It’s a reminder that early detection saves lives — and that every screening matters. The Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas (CHC/SEK) performed 3,408 mammograms last year — each one an important step toward saving lives through early detection.

The Laboratory at CHC/SEK plays a vital role in patient care. Every test performed helps providers make informed decisions, ensuring patients receive accurate diagnoses and effective treatment. We understand that lab work can sometimes feel scary or make patients nervous, but at CHC/SEK, we’re here to make the process as comfortable and reassuring as possible. With a focus on precision, compliance, and compassion, the lab is a cornerstone of our healthcare system.

The department is led by Kyla Lawson, Director of Laboratory, and consists of eight employees: a coordinator, a trainer, and six lab technicians. Together, they support every CHC/SEK location, including clinics, schools, and jails. In addition, CHC/SEK clinical staff at all locations assist the Laboratory Department with tasks and point-of-care testing. This collaboration ensures that no matter where a patient visits CHC/SEK, reliable testing is available.
