Medical on the Move!

Like most days in Helene you do not know what will happen next.  Today was just one of those days.  This morning  a 2 year old was pulling at his ear, upon closer inspection we saw a small rock inside.  Someone had tried to removed it and just pushed it in further.  The mom was going [...]

Sunset on the RISE

Ted takes the leadership.  He often preaches at the Church where the pews will be donated.  He is a kind, gentle giant, with a shoe size of 17.  Ted and Larry designed the pews together and made the first one.  Now Sunset is helping to build nine more with the church that donated the funds. [...]
