10 | March 12, 2020 | the new lenox patriot Community newlenoxpatriotdaily.com Lucky The Bulow Family, New Lenox residents Lucky is a very loving, sweet and cuddly Labrador Retriever mix. This sweet boy picked us to be his family at our local animal shelter after being in a cage from 6 weeks old until we adopted him at 5 months. From the second we brought him home, he has been so loving and great with our family. Lucky loves playing fetch with his sister, Maddy, and is great with our kids. There isn’t a day that goes by where he doesn’t make us laugh. Would you like to see your pet pictured as The New Lenox Patriot’s Pet of the Week?

I am a big cookie guy. Letter to the Editor How Silver Cross and Amita Health are handling the coronavirus Dear Editor, As your community hospitals, our No. 1 priority at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox and Amita Health Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet is to keep our patients and families, healthcare workers and staff safe. As you read and hear more about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in national and local media, we wanted to reassure you that we are closely monitoring the situation and stand ready to respond should patients present with CO- VID-19. While COVID-19 itself is new, preparing for responses to disasters, including potential epidemics and pandemics (e.g., H1N1, Swine Flu, Ebola), is not new for our hospitals. Emergency preparedness I prefer Chips Ahoy to Oreos, but I’m still a big fan of Oreos. I’ve stuck with the typical flavors: classic and golden. But the seasonal Christmas style — the ones with frosting around the cookie — might be the best, but those were not an option at the library’s Oreo taste testing event to celebrate National Oreo Day on Friday, March 6. I did not know a majority of the flavors existed. And that is OK. Some of the unique flavors definitely struck a palate, but a few should have been left training is a year-round activity that is done at both of our hospitals, and we are working closely with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), and local public health departments to prepare for COVID-19. We are closely monitoring the situation, including following all updates and guidance from CDC and IDPH. Although Silver Cross Hospital and Amita Health Saint Joseph Medical Center have no patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 to date, we are ready: we know how to isolate patients within our facilities and what services and equipment are needed; and we will contact our local and state Departments of Public Health to coordinate testing and the appropriate care. What’s more, we continue to communicate important updates to our patients/ families, healthcare workers, and staff promptly as on the drawing board. For starters, peanut butter is always a no go for me, so I didn’t even try it. A nice surprise was carrot cake. I had no idea what to expect, but it was one of the better ones. Caramel coconut was unanimously the least favorite among myself and the teens participating in the event. While every other flavor received at least one 10/10 vote, caramel coconut received none. It was one bite and throw it out bad. Mint cream was one of the favorites among the needed. We are confident that we can continue to provide safe, effective, and an unrivaled healthcare experience, even in the face of an infectious diseases outbreak. Our respective Infection Prevention and Emergency Preparedness teams have been working tirelessly over the last weeks to prepare and refine dedicated COVID-19 response plans. Much is still unknown about COVID-19, but a clearer picture is emerging, teens. That one is easy to be good. I just think of the Girl Scout Thin Mints or the mint chocolate chip ice cream. But the way I see it with the unique flavors is that they are not ones you stock up your pantry with. It’s a “hey, why not” purchase at the grocery store. Though I still don’t see myself doing that. The library is hoping to have similar events in the future, which may include chocolate and ice cream taste tests, combining the teen and adult programs. I might have to check out those events, as well. and hospitals like Silver Cross and Amita Health Saint Joseph are refining our responses regularly based on new information as it becomes available. As always, community health remains our top priority.
