The private birth suites at Community Hospital of Bremen allow our new moms to receive labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum care in the same room from the time she arrives to when it’s time to go home. This contrasts with traditional maternity care when expectant moms might be transferred from room to room. “As the healthcare landscape changes in Marshall County, we want expectant moms to know our Obstetrics unit is designed to make moms feel as comfortable as possible, providing comfort and privacy to ensure the entire family has the very best experience close to home,” says Sue Bettcher, RN and executive director of Patient Care Services, Community Hospital of Bremen. In addition to our labor, delivery, recovery and post-partum suites, the Bremen Obstetrics unit offers free prenatal classes and car seat checks as well as accommodations for the father, partner or support person to stay with mom before and after delivery.
It’s important to understand when it is appropriate to visit urgent care or head straight for the emergency room before you’re sick or injured and need medical assistance. In this month’s WSBT Eye on Health, Dr. Dennis Erdman, medical director, MedPoint Urgent Care, and Dr. Erin Clark, medical director of the Memorial Hospital ER, offer examples of when you should visit urgent care or the emergency room. If you have a twisted ankle, sore throat, minor laceration or you need to get tested for strep throat, Dr. Erdman said that’s when to seek treatment at MedPoint. Beacon operates urgent care centers in Granger, South Bend, Elkhart, Goshen and Three Rivers. But for uncontrolled pain, chest pain, abdominal pain or symptoms of stroke, it is recommended you visit the ER. Beacon emergency rooms are located at Memorial Hospital of South Bend, Elkhart General Hospital, Beacon Granger Hospital, Community Hospital of Bremen, Three Rivers Health and Franciscan Beacon Hospital.“You should never feel embarrassed or worried about coming to the emergency department,” Dr. Clark said.

When we asked Venita Massey to tell us about her hero for Black History Month, the long-time registered nurse at Three Rivers Health did not turn to history books. She only had to look inside her heart. “My hero is unknown to everyone except those who loved her – my mother.” Her mom and dad were married for 59 years and raised seven children on one salary. “Raised during the Great Depression, frugality was the order of the day,” Venita recalls. “My mom froze, canned and preserved fruits, vegetables and meats, made jellies and jams and prepared every meal from scratch. She sewed many of our clothes. She even washed and rinsed Ziploc bags, which I would throw away when she wasn’t looking!” Thelma June Smith Marshall never sat idle and didn’t allow her children to be bored. “I was bored only once. After spending the entire afternoon cleaning my closet and the kitchen cupboards, I thoroughly learned my lesson,” she fondly remembers. “Most of all, my mom taught me how to love, honor and respect God. Her lessons are the driving force for my life and I have her to thank.”
