A Word From Our President

With the New Year brings change. A significant change for Carson Health for 2013 is the retirement of Rex A. Rimmel, D.O. from our hospital Board of Directors. Dr. Rimmel has served on our board since 1986. He has contributed countless hours and a wealth of knowledge to our organization.

We will be honoring him with a celebration in the hospital's Front Lobby on January 23, 2013 from 12 p.m. - 2 p.m., and in Ithaca, at the Ithaca Family Care Center January 23, from 5 p.m. - 7 p.m. Please join us at either of these open-house style events.

Winter Safety

  

January is off to a modest start as far as winter storms. Just remember these few safety tips to help keep you and your family safe when out on the Michigan winter roads.

 

1. Know your route and keep up with the weather conditions.

 

2. Pack a winter travel safety kit, such as ice scraper, tow rope, blankets, flashlight, and matches.

 

3.  SLOW DOWN! A good rule of thumb is to reduce your speed by 50% in snowy conditions.

 

4. Make sure your tires are in good condition.

 

5. If you get stuck, stay in your vehicle and wait for assistance.
