Ohio Co. Hospital prepared for flu, other viruses

SUBMITTED by the Ohio County Hospital
Infectious diseases have been in the news lately, and although the risk of a case of the Ebola virus in Ohio County is remote, the healthcare professionals at Ohio County Hospital (OCH) have been working to make sure our community is prepared. OCH has also been preparing for the more seasonal threat of respiratory outbreaks such as influenza (Flu) and contagious Enterovirus D68, which can be particularly difficult for children.
Chris Freels, R.N., director of Quality & Infection Preventionist at Ohio County Hospital, says “It’s important to remember that the likelihood of Ebola in our community is very, very low. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has said only those individuals who have traveled to Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea in the past 21 days or those who have had close contact with a confirmed Ebola case should be concerned about contracting the disease. Nonetheless, we have the recommended infection control and isolation procedures and supplies in place, and are carefully following CDC guidelines and staying abreast of updates."
Ohio County Hospital has a well-developed emergency response plan for all infectious disease. Our facility works cooperatively with other area public health and emergency response agencies to engage in drills to enhance our preparedness level. Recently hospital personnel drilled in the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Included in this training was the proper donning and removal of the full-body PPE suits, which included step-by-step disinfection of hands process with specific sequencing for removal of each piece of equipment and hand-washing. Also included in the training was use of a model of the hood that protects the health care worker’s neck from exposure.
To learn more about infectious diseases, review the information on the CDC's website at www.cdc.gov.

With modern gun deer season having closed this past weekend in Ohio County, one local boy may inspire a few extra hunters to get out into the cold weather in an attempt to bag a trophy buck next season.
Little Elijah McIntyre was out with his father, Michael McIntyre, and bagged a 19-point non-typical buck last week. While many hunters hope to harvest a deer like this just once in their lifetime, this was Elijah's first deer ever.
According to Fish & Wildlife data, typically Ohio County sees over 1,000 deer harvested annually.
