Healthcare isn’t always black and white. There are times when a patient isn’t fully healed from their condition, but they also aren’t sick or hurt enough to the point they still require around-the-clock medical attention. Where can these individuals go when they’re in this gray area — on the mend, but still not safe enough to return home? Haxtun Health’s Swing Bed Rehab program. These post-acute care services in Haxtun allow patients to recover close to home in a place they trust. The Swing Bed Rehab program provides a stable, therapeutic...
The 2021 Colorado General Assembly is in its final weeks, with an adjournment mandated by law no later than June 12. It is likely, however, that lawmakers will head home sooner than that, possibly as early as Monday, June 7. The past week has been a busy one with 276 measures remaining on the legislature’s calendar. One bill that is nearing completion: the bill formerly known as the public option. House Bill 1232 as introduced would have set up a state-run health insurance plan, to go into effect if health insurers, doctors and hospitals f...

Deanna Lacina passed away on Friday, May 14, 2021 at her home in Julesburg at the age of 48. Deanna was born on July 25, 1972 in Holyoke to Joe and Margaret McCallum. Deanna's family frequently moved when she was a child and she attended numerous schools. She would eventually settle in Sterling, where she worked as a cashier at Walmart for many years. Eventually, Deanna's health deteriorated to the degree that she was no longer able to work and so she poured her heart into a project that she created called Baby Blessings. Deanna began this...
For years I have heard people say “there is no such thing as a dumb question.” As with most sage comments as this, someone had to be the first to say it. A little time spent on good old “Google” in search of the famous philosopher yielded a surprise. No one seems to know the answer. A few guesses include Einstein, Carl Sagan, Socrates and Ann Landers. I have a theory why no one has stepped up to claim credit for the line. There are, in fact, hundreds if not thousands of dumb questions floating a...
Rains and milder temperatures provided blessings this week. Not everyone was eager to claim them, however, given the accompanying damage attendant to several of the storms. It’s been a year since a derecho storm front rolled through with hail and sustained winds of over seventy miles per hour. Some trees were lost immediately while others continue to endure a slow convalescence. Damage is still apparent though it feels like a corner has finally been turned on moving things to a more normal p...

Fort Morgan baseball had four games decided by two or fewer runs last week, with the Mustangs posting a 2-2 mark. Nick Beltran took the loss in a 6-5 defeat by Mountain View last Tuesday, despite not allowing an earned run....
