Marysville Hospital Receives Grant

12/16/2013

(KMZA)--Community Memorial Healthcare in Marysville has received a grant from the Kansas Health Foundation to fund its “Breathe Better Educational Program.”

The nearly 53-hundred dollar grant will be used to help promote lung health and reduce chronic diseases among residents of Marshall County by creating traveling educational displays and presentations that will reach clinics, schools and community events.

Administered by the hospital’s Cardiopulmonary Services, under the direction of Cheryl Skinner, the “Breathe Better” program is designed as a public education tool to teach people of all ages about lung related problems, ways to prevent them, and how they can improve their quality of life while dealing with an existing condition. The program will be offered free of charge to businesses and organizations, school systems, and community based events.

Community Memorial Healthcare is staffed with three full-time, one PRN respiratory therapists and one sleep technician.
