Diana Johnson joined Tom Katz on Wake Up Tri-Counties for the "Here's to Your Health" series, discussing services at Hammond-Henry Hospital. Spotlighting local healthcare, Diana Johnson, a respiratory therapist with nearly two decades at Hammond Henry Hospital, discussed her pivotal role in the pulmonary function department. She performs pulmonary function tests, which help diagnose breathing issues like asthma, COPD, and chronic coughs, on patients ranging from age six to 100. Symptoms prompting referral include persistent shortness of breath or unexplained coughing, especially active during allergy season and for student athletes. The testing process is thorough, and results are reviewed promptly by a pulmonologist to guide further care. More about these services can be found at hammondhenry.com.
Samantha Rux and Blaine Clarke joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about upgrades at OSF Saint Luke Medical Center, making OSF HealthCare a medical "destination," and the upcoming Golf Classic to support the OSF Saint Luke public transportation system. OSF HealthCare is wrapping up a week of celebrations honoring nurses and healthcare workers, marked by special events including theme days, food trucks, and the annual Daisy and Sunflower Awards. The focus shifts now to investments in technology and local care access through the Destination OSF initiative. Recent upgrades include a new MRI and DEXA machine at St. Luke’s, quicker lab services, and advanced breast imaging in Galesburg. General surgical services have expanded locally, reducing the need to travel for procedures. OSF encourages residents to explore care options closer to home as community hospitals grow their capabilities.
Lorna Brown joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the annual Quilt Show in Bishop Hill. Bishop Hill welcomes visitors this weekend for its annual Quilt Show, a highlight of Civil War Days. Hosted by the Prairie Queen Quilt Club, the event features nearly 100 quilts on display at the Colony School from makers across Henry County. Quilts aren’t for sale, but guests can browse the popular “trash and treasures” room for fabric, notions, and creative finds. Admission remains just $5, continuing a tradition that began 36 years ago. Club members also create charity quilts for local organizations throughout the year. The show runs from 9 AM to 4 PM on Friday and Saturday. “Quilting an American Legacy” is this year’s theme, nodding to both tradition and the upcoming 250th birthday of the United States. Proceeds and club initiatives will benefit local charities in Kewanee this year. To join the club or for more details, visit the "Prairie Queen Quilt Club" Facebook page or sign up during the event. Membership is $10 a year.
