You should have received this from USI today. In the event that you did not – here is the information that was disseminated. Hope to see you there!

On Wednesday, January 9, the University of Southern Indiana’s College of Nursing and Health Professions is opening its second USI Community Health Center, this one at Cedar Hall Community School.

“With the success of the USI Community Health Center at Glenwood, I am pleased that we are able to expand our school-based health clinic initiative and now provide additional primary care services at the USI Community Health Center at Cedar Hall,” said Dr. Ann White, dean of the college.

The USI Community Health Centers are the result of a five-year $1.2 million grant to USI from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The grant was a collaborative effort between USI, the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC), St. Mary’s Health System, and Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare, Inc.

The centers provide primary health care services to neighborhood residents, including students, families, and staff. USI undergraduate and graduate students in nursing, respiratory therapy, occupational therapy, food and nutrition, social work, dental and health administration participate in delivering services to USI Community Health Center patients and neighborhood residents.

“Benefits from this partnership help our students and families in many ways,” said Cathlin Gray, EVSC associate superintendent for family, school, and community partnerships. “Families having access to a familiar place to see medical professionals for immunizations, and help when children are ill, is essential. Children who do not feel well often do not perform well in school. Our goal is to help create a community of individuals who are healthy and ready to learn. We thank all of the partners for coming together to make a difference for this community and look forward to future endeavors.”

Since the USI Community Health Center at Glenwood Leadership Academy opened in January 2012, 400 patients have been served during 792 appointments. More than half of the patients were from the Glenwood neighborhood. Fifty-eight USI students in the College of Nursing and Health Professions have benefited from the experiential learning opportunity of working with patients at the center.

The USI Community Health Center at Cedar Hall will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays. The next USI Community Health Center will open at the Juan Diego Center at Nativity Church.

For more information, contact Dr. Mayola Rowser, assistant dean of the USI College of Nursing and Health Professions, at 812/461-5257.

Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Building Corporation (the “Corporation”) shall convene on Tuesday, January 15, 2013, at 2 p.m., at the offices of Ziemer, Stayman, Weitzel, and Shoulders at 20 N.W. First Street, 9th Floor, Evansville, Indiana, for the purpose of (a) considering the release and transfer to Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (“EVSC”) of all interest reimbursement payments received and now held by the Corporation under Build America Bonds; and (b) considering any other business which may properly come before the meeting.

This morning the Evansville Fire Department responded to an apartment fire at 4985 E. Sycamore Street on Evansville’s eastside. The apartment is 1 of 4 units contained within the building. The fire damage was contained to one apartment while the apartment below had very minor water damage. The other 2 apartments in the structure had very little, if any, damage. The first fire units on scene arrived quickly and contained the fire to the utility closet. Fire Investigator Jennifer Hunt determined the fire cause to be accidental due to combustible materials being too close to the burner area of the furnace.

District Chief Greg Main called for a 2nd Alarm because it was an apartment complex. As soon as the fire was reported extinguished, the extra personnel and equipment were returned to their stations.

The couple who lived in the apartment was home at the time of the fire and got out without injury. Fairmont Apartments has offered the couple another apartment until the damage can be repaired.
