OCH Patients Celebrate Earth Day

Photo by Debbie Cousineau Will Denver, nurse aide at Ozarks Community Hospital in Gravette, helped swingbed unit patients Lura Kemp, Norma Schmitz and Lorraine Hall plant flowers in pots they had decorated in celebration of Earth Day April 22. It was too cold and windy to go outside on Wednesday, so the ladies decided to do their planting indoors. Pots were filled with petunias, salvia and pansies; and patients will have a pot to take home when they are dismissed from OCH. They also planted extra pots to take to the rooms of patients who were not able to participate. Case manager Debbie Cousineau says they are looking forward to nicer weather when they will go outside and plant more.
