Give Kids A Smile 2013

Next week, Friday, February 1, is Give Kids a Smile Day. The American GKAS-logo-2Dental Association began the Give Kids A Smile program in 2003 as a way for ADA members to join with others in the community to provide dental services to underserved children. The program initially began as a one-day event in February, but has since grown to local and national events year-round. Dentists and other team members volunteer their time, and services, to provide screenings, treatments and education to children throughout the United States. Each year, approximately 450,000 children benefit from more than 1500 events, all because of the efforts of 40,000 or more  annual volunteers. Give Kids a Smile Day is meant to help the 1/3 of children in the U.S. with no dental insurance and to teach good dental hygiene.

Siouxland Surgery Center Named Top 100 Hospital For Second Consecutive Year

WomenCertified® is recognizing Siouxland Surgery Center as one of the country’s Top 100 Hospitals for Patient Experience for the second year in a row.

Hospitals are selected for this annual list based on female patient satisfaction using a proprietary scoring process that incorporates a national, standardized survey of patients’ perspectives of hospital care reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and an analysis that weighs criteria identified as the most important to women for patient satisfaction.

“Siouxland Surgery Center is honored to be among the outstanding facilities recognized as an America’s Best Hospital for a second consecutive year,” said Dr. Ralph Reeder, President of Siouxland Surgery Center. “Our physician owners and dedicated staff are pleased our perception of being an exceptional facility is also felt by our patients.”

Women make or influence more than 90 percent of health care decisions for themselves and their families, according to a study published by the American Academy of Family Physicians.  The Women’s Choice Award signals that a hospital meets high standards regarding a woman’s preferences and the distinction allows women to make an informed decision about where to go for care for themselves or their family.

“Women have many choices when it comes to health care and they set the standard for customer service,” says Delia Passi, CEO of WomenCertified®. “Women’s Choice Award recipients have demonstrated extraordinary service in meeting the needs of women and their families, and represent the smart choice for women.”

Siouxland Surgery Center is a licensed surgical specialty hospital and pain clinic located at 600 Sioux Point Road in Dakota Dunes. The facility has 40 inpatient beds and specializes in gastroenterology, general surgery, gynecology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, podiatry, urology, dental, and ENT. For more information about Siouxland Surgery Center, call (605) 232-3332 or visit them online at www.siouxlandsurg.com

Trinity Heights to Dedicate New Entrance Signage

Trinity Heights’ staff and the Queen of Peace Board of Directors welcome the public to the dedication of “The Rock,” new signage located off 33rd and Floyd Blvd.  on Tuesday, November 13 at 1:30 p.m.

“The Rock” is lighted for night visibility and displays the American, Papal and Christian flags to welcome persons of all religious denominations to visit Trinity Heights.  The sign has been in the planning stage for 20 years.  A grant from the MRHD organization was the catalyst to finalize the project.

A committee worked with several architects to develop an appropriate sign to be seen by out-of-town visitors and at the same time be an integral part of the grounds.  Avery Bros. of Sioux City came up with a unique product that will not deteriorate and is durable enough to withstand the elements of the Midwest climate.

Trinity Heights offers more than two dozen shrines, memorial garden spots and quiet corners for prayer and reflection amidst 14 acres of spacious walkways and soft green spaces. The peaceful setting — away from everyday hassles — sits on the spacious grounds of former Trinity College and high school.

Two magnificent statues anchor Trinity Heights on each end — the Immaculate Heart of Mary Queen of Peace and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. An impressive life-size carving of the Last Supper is located in St. Joseph’s Center across from the Marian Center Gift Shop.
