The Ascension Saint Thomas Mobile Health Clinic is coming to Tracy City - Grundy County Herald

The baseball and softball seasons are now up and running, and parish teams have had very active schedules to start.

Almost all of the area squads have been busy competing in tournaments.

Here are the Weekly Citizens first Ascension Parish high-school baseball and softball power rankings.

These rankings are not dictated by the size of the schools in the parish. They are determined by how well teams are doing in their respective classifications.

Baseball

1. Ascension Catholic (Last Week: 1)

Ascension Catholic continued to roll last week. After the Bulldogs blew out St. Augustine, they dropped their first game of the season. Ascension Catholic dropped a one-run contest against 5A Central Lafourche. However, they responded with back-to-back wins over the Gators to improve to 7-1 overall.

2. Dutchtown (Last Week: 2)

Dutchtown has continued to look very impressive to start 2022. The Griffins began the week by coming from behind to beat Hahnville. They followed that up with victories over Lakeshore, St. Pauls and Covington. It all contributed to a six-game winning streak for Dutchtown to improve its overall record to 9-1.

3. St. Amant (Last Week: 3)

Ever since St. Amant lost its opener to Ascension Catholic, the Gators have been rolling. Like Dutchtown, the Gators have also put together a six-game winning streak. That run included victories over St. Pauls, Holy Cross, Covington and Hahnville. The hot streak improved St. Amants overall record to 8-2.

4. Ascension Christian (Last Week: 5)

Ascension Christian went through a rough patch. The Lions dropped games against West Feliciana and French Settlement, contributing to a four-game losing streak. But Ascension Christian was able to bounce back with wins over Maurepas and Holden to move to 5-4.

5. East Ascension (Last Week: 4)

The Spartans saw their share of struggles last week. East Ascension lost games to Terrebonne, South Terrebonne and Vandebilt Catholic. It equated to a five-game losing streak that dropped the Spartans record to 2-6.

6. Donaldsonville (Last Week: 6)

The Tigers lost back-to-back games to East Iberville last week. Donaldsonville has now lost four straight, dropping its record to 1-4 overall.

Softball

1. St. Amant (Last Week: 1)

St. Amant really began to roll last week. The Lady Gators blanked both Central Catholic and Dominican. They followed it up with two more victories against Mandeville and Mount Carmel. Now with five straight wins, St. Amant is 7-2 overall.

2. Ascension Catholic (Last Week: 3)

Ascension Catholic picked up wins over 2A French Settlement and 3A Patterson, before dropping a close game to 3A E.D. White. The Lady Bulldogs overall record is now 7-4.

3. Dutchtown (Last Week: 2)

Dutchtown faced some very tough competition last week. The Lady Griffins beat both St. Thomas More and Destrehan. They lost to both Hahnville and John Curtis. Those losses dropped Dutchtowns overall record to 5-6.

4. East Ascension (Last Week: 4)

East Ascension piled up four straight wins, which included a victory over Zachary. The Lady Spartans run ended during the weekend with a loss against Natchitoches Central. East Ascensions record now stands at 6-5.

5. Ascension Christian (Last Week: 5)

Ascension Christian won its season opener, but the Lions have lost five straight since then. Their record now stands at 1-5.

6. Donaldsonville (Last Week: 6)

Donaldsonville still hasnt played a game yet in 2022.

Parish baseball and softball power rankings - Weekly Citizen

Everything in your remarkable life and times; your abiding dedication and love for the people of Ibadan, your breadth of intellect, the openness of mind and largeness of heart has inexorably led to this auspicious day of your crowning as the Olubadan of Ibadan. I am sure this will serve you well on the throne.REMARKS DELIVERED BY HIS EXCELLENCY, PROF. YEMI OSINBAJO, SAN, GCON, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AT THE CORONATION OF THE OLUBADAN OF IBADAN, OBA DR. SENATOR MOHOOD OLALEKAN ISHOLA BALOGUN ALI-IWO, ALLI OKUNMADE II, IN IBADAN, OYO STATE ON THE 11TH OF MARCH, ON 2022

PROTOCOLS

It is a special honour and privilege for me to witness this epochal and historic occasion, the installation of the Olubadan of Ibadan, the 42nd Olubadan in 202 years since the founding of the throne, His Imperial Majesty, Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Dr. Senator Mohood Olalekan Ishola Balogun Ali-Iwo, Alli Okunmade II.

Your Royal Majesty, Mr. President has asked me to convey his special and respectful felicitations to you, your royal family and the great people of Ibadan on this day of abounding joy and celebration.

Your Excellency Governor Seyi Makinde, I must congratulate you as you also enter the history books being one of the few governors who have had the joyful and historic duty of handing the staff of office to a new Olubadan.

Your Excellencies, honoured guests, we are also today participants in the remarkable history of this land of ancient renown and high achievements. Ibadan is in a real sense, at the heart of the history of the Yoruba people and our nation. This is after all a town unlike none other, founded and shaped by defiant non-conformists, warriors of major Yoruba subgroups from Oyo, Ife, Ijebu, Egba, and it would become the largest indigenous city in Africa and the intellectual hub of the modern Nigerian state.

Given its origins, the destiny of Ibadan as one of the political centres of gravity in our nation was practically written in stars. It was in this city that the call for Nigerias independence from British rule first resounded. The people of Ibadan bore witness to the exploits of iconic nationalists and leaders such as Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, our countrys first President and the sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who was Premier of the Western Region for a time that is widely regarded as the regions golden age. Ibadan became the hub of politics in the then nascent nation and the capital of the Western Region. It was and is still acknowledged as the political headquarters of the entire South-West Nigeria.

Ibadan was and has always been a city on a hill, a place of refuge and a realm in which individuals could rise by the grace of their talents, on merit and their diligence. It embodies the values of openness, diversity and high achievement. It is therefore not surprising that Ibadan is a city of many firsts.

It is home to the first indigenous TV station in Africa, it is also the home of the Shooting Stars Sports Football Club (3SC) the first Nigerian club to win an international trophy the African Winners Cup in 1976.

This is the home of the first university in Nigeria, (the University of Ibadan), and for many years the iconic Cocoa House was the tallest building in Nigeria standing as a towering edifice dominating the citys skyline a powerful visual reminder that Ibadan ceaselessly inspires us to strive for greater heights in every endeavour.

Even in the management of its traditional institution, Ibadan is unerringly unique. As we all know whoever would become an Olubadan must climb 23 chieftaincy steps from either of two lines: the Civilian and the Military. But it is its predictability and orderliness that ranks it among the most peaceful and unique ascension protocols anywhere.

It is the custodianship of this illustrious heritage and proud tradition that the Olubadan has been initiated into today. And it is therefore your Royal Majesty, a heavy obligation of history that the privilege of your ascension to the throne of your fathers now places upon your shoulders.

But your shoulders are broad and sturdy as you come into this office better prepared than probably any monarch anywhere, with a PhD, a background in economic and social research, scholar, with an intellectual sympathy for Marxist dialectic, university teacher, former Senator of the Federal Republic, and a champion of indigenous culture and community empowerment.

Everything in your remarkable life and times; your abiding dedication and love for the people of Ibadan, your breadth of intellect, the openness of mind and largeness of heart has inexorably led to this auspicious day of your crowning as the Olubadan of Ibadan. I am sure this will serve you well on the throne.

On behalf of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, the government and the people of Nigeria, I congratulate you on your elevation to the throne of the custodian and defender of the ancient cultures and traditions of the people of Ibadan.

Your Imperial Majesty, Olubadan of Ibadan, I pray for you that your reign will be long, sustained with divine health and wisdom, and that this land in your reign will know great peace and prosperity and that the talking drums will always speak of celebration and thanksgiving.

Kabiyesi, e pe fun wa. Ka de pe lori, ki bata pe le se.

God bless you, Sir.

In 1999, the Daughters of Charity National Health System and Sisters of St. Joseph Health System merged to create Ascension Health, which was later renamed to Ascension; over the years, various other hospitals and clinics joined the system.[2]

In 2014, the company partnered in opening the $2b Health City Cayman Islands project,[5] and sold its stake in 2017.[6]

In April 2016, a class-action lawsuit was brought in federal court, alleging that Ascension subsidiary Wheaton Franciscan Services (in Glendale, Wisconsin), erred by treating its pension plan as though it was a "church plan," exempt from the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), a federal law governing employee pensions. In January, 2018, the parties announced a settlement, in which Ascension would pay $29.5 million to the plaintiffs.[7]

In December 2018, the Attorney General of the District of Columbia brought suit against Ascension in an attempt to prevent its closure of Providence Health System hospital, which served a low-income population, and had failed financially. The suit alleged that the closure was in violation of the hospital's license.[8] Though the D.C. city council passed an ordinance giving the Mayor the power to block the closing, the suit ultimately failedwith the Council blamed by the judge for acting too slowlyand the hospital closed.[9]

In February, 2020, a jury awarded obstetrician/gynecologist Rebecca Denman, MD, $4.75 million in damages by an Indiana jury, after suing Ascension's St. Vincent Carmel Hospital and its St. Vincent Medical Group for defamation and fraud. The lawsuit arose from a December 2017 incident, in which Denman was accused of smelling like alcohol while on duty. Denman contended that she had been cheated out of the due process, as provided in the company substance-abuse policy, depriving her of a chance to establish her innocence, and retain her position.[10][11]

In October 2021, Ascension and AdventHealth announced the planned dissolution of their joint venture AMITA in 2022. Each system will retain the hospitals they originally contributed to the partnership. [12]

In 2018, controversy swirled around an announcement by Ascension and Google, that they had agreed to share information on millions of Ascension patients. The project, internally known as "Project Nightingale," involved analyzing health dataincluding lab results, medications, and diagnoses of Ascension patientsto use Google's artificial intelligence resources to recommend changes in a patient's care (different diagnostic tests, treatment plans, or additional physicians) and flag unexpected deviations in that care. The announcement sparked a probe by the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which enforces the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the principal law governing the privacy of patient records in the United States.[13][14][15][16] It also sparked inquiries by three U.S. Senators.[17]

Google and Ascension officials defended the program as beneficial.[18][19] Google Cloud president Tariq Shaukat posted a blog note asserting that Ascension health data would not be combined with consumer data, nor would it be used beyond the scope of Google's contract with Ascensionbut the actual scope of that contract remained rather unclear. Shaukat wrote that the project includes moving Ascension's computing infrastructure to the Google cloud, as well as providing unspecified tools that would enable doctors and nurses to improve care.[20]

Privacy advocates, howeveralong with cybertechnology and healthcare information technology expertswarned that Project Nightingale's risks to patient privacy may be massive, with the patient records tagged by patient name and date of birth, potentially allowing a direct correlation with other records in Google's vast database, for "other" uses outside the very limited protections of HIPAA.[13][20][21][22]

Catholic-New Iberia bolted to an early lead with a barrage of 3-pointers, then withstood a late rally to defeat Ascension Episcopal 59-50 in a Division III boys basketball regionals playoff game Tuesday.

Tristan Lewis made three 3s to open the game for the No. 6 Panthers, and Jaiden Mitchell hit two more to put the hosts up 15-0 at the 3:10 mark of the first quarter.

"I have pretty good range," said Lewis, a freshman who finished with five 3s and a game-high 20 points. "I was thinking that in order to win this game, we were going to have to start fast and shoot really well."

Although two of Ascension Episcopal's top scorers, Austin Mills and Luke Guidry, combined for only two points through the first three quarters, the No. 11 Blue Gators bounced back from the sluggish start.

The Blue Gators outscored the Panthers 13-7 in the second quarter to reduce the deficit to 26-18 at halftime. After going scoreless in the first quarter, Nelson Elmore scored eight of his 12 points in the second quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Mills and Guidry combined for 16 points and the Blue Gators closed within 47-44 on a layup by Cade Dardar with 2:30 remaining, but Mitchell made seven free throws down the stretch. Senior forward Russell Davis also scored seven of his nine points in the fourth quarter.

"I know he's young, but I know he's going to shoot 70% from the free throw line," McGrew said of Mitchell, one of three freshmen in the Panthers' starting lineup. "He's not going to make all of them. He's not perfect, but he's going to make the majority of them.

"Russell always finds the time to be in the right place. I don't know how he does it, but he's always in the right place to get a pass, and these guys find him. My younger guys, my ball handlers, find him and make that pass."

It was the third matchup of the year between the District 7-2A rivals. In January, Ascension Episcopal won 56-45 in Youngsville with the Panthers winning 44-41 in New Iberia in February.

"Ascension Episcopal is always a tough opponent," McGrew said. "We know each other very well. It was very important that we jump out to a big lead, and we did. We came out with a lot of energy, and we played really good defense early in the game."

Mitchell finished with 13 points for the 18-9 Panthers, who will face No. 3 Lafayette Christian (23-8) in the quarterfinals Thursday.

Elmore and Mills each scored 12 points and Dardar added 10 points for the Blue Gators, who finished the season with a 21-14 record.

"I thought our kids played with a lot of heart and a lot of toughness, which we've been preaching all year," Blue Gators coach Eric Mouton said. "There was a rowdy crowd tonight, but we never quit.

"When we play hard in our half-court trap, it's effective. Tonight, we got our hands on some balls and got steals to get us back in the game, but we gave up a couple of late lay-ups that cost us."

Catholic High claims season series over Ascension to advance in Division III playoffs - The Advocate

Ascension hospital emergency rooms in southeastern Wisconsin are seeing a spike in the number of weather-related injuries Tuesday than what they typically see during a winter day.

As of 1 p.m. Tuesday, 42 patients were treated. By 4 p.m., that number grew to 61 patients.

"That's almost triple the number we would normally have treated by this time on a typical winter day," an Ascension spokesperson told TMJ4 News.

Some injuries were sustained from falls, while others were serious enough to require surgery, according to Ascension. Some patients were also treated for injuries from motor vehicle accidents.

A Weather Emergency Declaration has been issued for the City of Milwaukee for Tuesday.

The declaration, issued by Acting Mayor Cavalier Johnson, "emphasizes the dangers associated with travel, and allows for the closure of various city government offices."

Additionally, Department of Public Works (DPW) crews report that they are "facing difficulty" maintaining safe travel, particularly on sidewalks. Some crews have been redeployed to ice control, which will impact some garbage and recycling collections, according to the City.

The declaration is expected to be lifted by Wednesday morning.

The LVAD left ventricular assist device is a mechanical pump that helps circulate blood out of the heart when someone's native heart can't keep up.

INDIANAPOLIS Six and a half years ago, Drake Foster thought he was in good health.

"I was 21 years old, living a 21-year-old's life," Foster said. "I was pretty fit, did a manual labor job, and one day I just started feeling real, real sick."

He was short of breath and unable to sleep.

"We went to the urgent care in Lebanon and they told me that I had a heart rate of, I think it was 136 at the time," Foster said. "They came in, did a few more tests and told me that I had end-stage heart failure."

It's not something Foster ever expected, and he wasn't familiar with the solution doctors suggested.

"The first thing that came up was the LVAD, which I've never heard of before didn't know anything about it," he said.

"These are mechanical pumps that basically help somebody's circulation out when their own native heart isn't able to keep up with their body's needs," said Ascension St. Vincent cardiologist Dr. Ashwin Ravichandran.

He said they typically don't install the devices in patients as young as Foster.

"It's open-heart surgery," Ravichandran said. "It's attached to the heart, where then the pump itself has a motor that sort of spins blood through it and then puts it out into the rest of the circulation. It's completely powered by an external power source because we need enough power to be able to power a device like that.

Despite carrying a battery pack everywhere he goes, Foster said he's lived a normal life.

"I graduated from school. I started my career, which I've been there now five years. I work full-time, got married, bought a house and have a daughter," Foster said. "I mean, I've accomplished more with the LVAD than I did without it."

Now he's lined up for a heart transplant.

"I'm so used to having it, it's almost going to be a bigger adjustment to get used to not having it," Foster said.

When the LVAD is gone, his new appreciation for everything will stay.

"You have a different outlook on life and you kind of start seeing the little things as being what's important," Foster said. "Little problems don't seem as big."

Ascension St. Vincent patient thriving with 'bionic' heart device - WTHR

BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) Ascension Sacred Heart administrators said they are investing in womens health.

Ascension Sacred Heart opened its second diagnostic womens center in the Panhandle on Friday.

The new center will offer some of the newest technology used to detect the early stages of breast cancer.

The biggest difference moving forward is you will no longer have to leave the area to get comprehensive care, Chief Medical Officer Mario Pulido said. You can now stay in your home, which is critically important when you are going through a diagnosis like this. Because family support, rest, nutrition, and having just a good support system all around.

Pulido said early breast cancer detection allows for more successful treatments. But Ascension Sacred Heart Bay has not been able to offer those vital screenings since before Hurricane Michael.

Aside from the emergency department at the main end of the beach, we were essentially non-operational, Pulido said.

Throughout this new facility, there is the technology for 3D mammograms, ultrasounds, as well as outpatient rehabilitation.

There is a Hologic mammography unit machine, it has the ability to do whats called a 3D mammography or biosynthesis, which essentially takes slices of the breast similar to a CT scan, Alabama native Dr. Jonathan Smith said. Smith is Ascensions new breast surgical oncologist.

He said his appointments will start next week.

We will be able to offer you world-class care that youd get in new york city or Houston, right here in your own backyard so Im really happy to be a part of that process and be able to offer that here, Smith said.

Dr. Smith and other Ascension staff hope to increase the number of women who have received their annual breast cancer screenings.

Ascension Sacred Heart will open a third diagnostic womens center next month at their Watersound location in Walton County.
