St. Mary’s Outreach Services began in 1997 in an effort to bridge the gap in access to healthcare for those on its fringes. It helps us reach into our community and create a healthier future for those we serve. The ultimate goal of this outreach is to help students to become healthy, fit and ready to learn the skills they need now and for a healthy future.
In addition to the Dental Care for Kids program, Community Outreach Services offers St. Mary’s School Outreach, which provides a Registered Respiratory Therapist and a Registered Dietitian to the area parochial schools and the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation.
With these programs St Mary’s is able to bring health education, intervention and awareness to the children, parents and families of our community. We are able to provide various services through a working collaboration with the school administrations and health services.
Specifically, the staff promotes prevention, wellness and healthy life choices to students, as well as to parents and faculty. Activities include health-fairs, individual consultations, school wellness activities, professional workshops, age specific education classes, as well as providing a reference of accurate information to school personnel on various health topics.

Former All-American is USI’s 10th to be select for conference honor
– Former University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball All-American Chris Bowles ’94 has been selected for induction into the Great Lakes Valley Conference Hall of Fame.
Bowles finished his basketball career at USI as one of the Screaming Eagles all-time greats. He nearly averaged a double-double with 19.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game over four seasons. USI’s all-time leading rebounder and second-leading scorer amassed 2,169 points and 1,129 boards during his career, becoming the first Eagle to ever eclipse both the 2,000-point and 1,000-rebound marks in a career.
In his final season in 1993-94, Bowles helped lead the Eagles to their first Great Lakes Region Championship and the NCAA Division II Tournament finals. He earned GLVC and Division II Bulletin NCAA Division II Player of the Year honors as well as consensus first-team All-America accolades by several media outlets in helping lead USI to the GLVC championship.
During his junior season, Bowles was named a second-team All-American by Basketball Times and a third-team All-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches in 1992-93. He also helped the Eagles to a second-place finish in the GLVC and the selection of USI to host its first-ever NCAA II Great Lakes Regional.
The native of Madisonville, Kentucky, was honored with first-team All-GLVC honors in each of his four years while helping USI to a 79-38 record over that span. The 1991 GLVC Newcomer of the Year also led the league in rebounding three-straight seasons (1991-92; 1992-93; 1993-94).
Bowles is 10th member of the GLVC Hall of Fame to be selected from USI, following Dr. Charles Bertram (2003); Stan Gouard ’99 (2003); LeAnn Freeland ’97 (2004); Elly Rono ’98 (2004); Jim Nolan (2007); Dr. Bill Stegemoller (2007); Bruce Pearl (2008); Amber Huse Tooley ’96 (2008); and Eileen Weber ’98 (2012).

STATEHOUSE — House Speaker Brian C. Bosma (R-Indianapolis) introduced legislation to create an Indiana Career Council, designed to coordinate between multiple participants in the state’s educational, job skills and career training systems. The Speaker has been joined by Leader Scott Pelath (D-Michigan City), State Reps. Steve Braun (R-Zionsville) and Ben Smaltz (R-Auburn) as co-authors on House Bill (HB) 1002.
In October, Speaker Bosma joined by a dozen of his House Republican colleagues, announced the House Republican “Own Your American Dream†Agenda, created to help make Indiana a stronger state for future generations. In the agenda release, the Speaker highlighted the skills gap, an increasing issue amongst Hoosier workers, and employers.
Sixty-seven percent of manufacturing companies are reporting moderate to severe shortage of available, qualified workers. Fifty-six percent of those expect the shortage to increase in the next three years. The proposed council would provide any Hoosier participating in the state’s educational, job skills and career training system with the opportunity to connect with a fitting educational program.
“It is imperative that we organize the state’s resources in a way that best works for its people. The Indiana Career Council will provide the coordination of information, vision and direction to the various participants in the state’s educational, job skills, and career training system,†said Speaker Bosma.
Members of the Indiana Career Council will be charged with developing a process to match the education skills and training provided by the state’s educational, job skills and career training system with the currently existing and future needs of the state’s job market, as well as submitting recommendations to the Indiana General Assembly for how to improve Indiana’s job skills training system from top to bottom.
“Our goal is to make success possible for everyone, and it starts with having a great education,†said Rep. Braun. “We will work to align our education system and job skill development with available jobs so that Hoosiers can overcome any obstacle that life may throw at them as we work towards building a brighter future.â€
Members of the council would include:
•Governor (Chair)
•Lieutenant Governor (Vice Chair)
•Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD)
•The Secretary of Commerce (IEDC)
•State Superintendent of Public Instruction (DOE)
•Commissioner of the Commission for Higher Education (CHE)
•The Secretary of the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA)
•The President of Ivy Tech College
•One member appointed by the Governor who represents manufacturers interests
•One member appointed by the Governor who represents the interests of the business community
•One member appointed by the Governor who represents the interest of labor
•Two members appointed by the Speaker to serve in an advisory role – cannot be from same political party
•Two members appointed by the Pro Temp to serve in an advisory role – cannot be from same political party
“It is evident that the Indiana General Assembly has worked hard in recent years to improve the Hoosier economy,†said Rep. Smaltz. “Now that we have an increase in jobs, we need to bridge the skills gap and equip Hoosiers with the skills they need.â€
The bill will now move to the Committee of Government and Regulatory Reform for a hearing.
