Jubilee Celebration
 Congratulations
to Monsignor Thomas O'Brien who, this summer, celebrated his 50th
anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. Monsignor O'Brien has
a very long history with Saint Joseph Health Center--he was born at
St. Joseph Hospital's second location at Linwood and Prospect in August
1926. He's worked at the health center as a priest chaplain since
1984. |
Legs for Life
Saint Joseph health Center is offering free screenings for peripheral
vascular disease, which is a clogging of narrowing of the arteries in
the legs. Legs for Life Screenings will be done Saturday, September 23.
Call 913-676-8156 for information.
Prostate Screenings
Saint Joseph Health Center will offer free prostate screenings for men,
age 50 and older, on Saturday, October 7. A simple blood test, along with
a digital rectal exam, can help to detect prostate cancer at an early
age. Test results will be sent to you and your primary care physician.
For more information, call Eva Scahan at 816-943-2127.
