The Kansas Department of Transportation expects to begin work next week on a resurfacing project along a portion of U.S. 36 in Phillips County, weather permitting.

Workers will be applying a chip seal on the roadway starting at the east city limits of Phillipsburg and extending 13 miles east to the Phillips/Smith County line. A chip seal is a resurfacing action that protects the pavement from moisture and prolongs the life of the roadway. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in the construction zone and controlled by flaggers and a pilot car. Minor delays, not exceeding 15 minutes, can be expected. Motorists are encouraged to slow down, obey the warning signs and “Give ‘em a Brake!” when approaching and driving through work zones. The project is expected to be completed by the end of July, weather permitting.

Mid America Road Builders Inc. is the primary contractor for the project with a total contract cost of $535,000.

Fort Hays State University and the American Red Cross are hosting an upcoming blood drive.

Please join our lifesaving mission and schedule an appointment today. Walk-ins are also welcome.

Drive Details:
Site: Comeau Campus Center
Address: 506 W. 6th, Comeau Campus Center, Hays
Room Name: Activity Center
Date: Fri Jul 15, 2016
Time: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

It’s the blood products on the shelves today that help save lives in an emergency. Currently, the American Red Cross has less than a five day supply of blood on hand.

Visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS for your lifesaving appointment to donate.

The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.

Hays Medical Center

Two HaysMed nurses have recently earned board certifications from the Commission for Forensic Nursing Certification. Susan Smith, RN, BSN, SANE-A and Allison Jones, RN, SANE-A have each earned the credential of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner – Pediatric (SANE-P).  This is their second specialty certification focused on the care of sexual assault patients.  Smith and Jones join the ranks of only 14 Kansas nurses credentialed in SANE-P.

The earned credential of SANE-P designates that the recipient has achieved the highest standards of forensic nursing for sexual assault nurse examiners in the pediatric and adolescent population.  A forensic nurse is a nurse who provides specialized care for patients who are victims and/or perpetrators of trauma (both intentional and unintentional).  Forensic nurses are nurses first and foremost.

However, the specialized role of forensic nurses goes far beyond medical care; forensic nurses also have a specialized knowledge of the legal system and skills in injury identification, evaluation and documentation. After attending to a patient’s immediate medical needs, a forensic nurse often collects evidence, provides medical testimony in court, and consults with legal authorities. Forensic nurses at HaysMed conduct medical-legal examinations for victims and perpetrators of sexual assault, child abuse and domestic violence victims. The team currently has five trained SANE nurses and two in training.
Smith and Jones are both nurses in the Emergency Department. Smith has been employed at HaysMed since 2000 and has been a member of the SANE team since 2012. Jones has been employed at HaysMed and been a member of the SANE team since 2010.

This spring, Hays native and Thomas More Prep-Marian High School graduate Mayo Schmidt received an honorary degree from Washburn University.

Schmidt, who spoke at the 2014 Hays Area Chamber of Commerce annual banquet, received an honorary Doctor of Commerce at a May ceremony, according to Washburn University Relations.

After his college career at Washburn University, Mayo signed with the Miami Dolphins but left to pursue a business career. That decision proved to be a good move as Mayo has held key management positions at General Mills and ConAgra, where he was named chief executive officer in 2005.
