10 Crestwood Adviser July 2020 Number 520 Shepard Feeds 35 Families in Time of Need Aware that many in their communities have been struggling financially due to job losses, staff members from District 218 funded a food drive that helped 35 families. The project supported families with students who attend Shepard High School, Delta Learning Center, and Summit Learning Center in District 218. Staff members donated $2,000 while IEA Local 218 gave $300, and Eisenhower High School teacher Gladys Marquez secured another $1,500 in grant funds from the National Education Association. Shepard, Delta and Summit staff members and their families purchased and organized the food. Shepard staff members Beth Pawlowski, Erin McLean, Kelly Myron, Esther Roth, Pam Werniak and her daughter, Amanda, and Dr. Jim Weber and his daughter, Marie, distributed the food. “At 8:30 we packed the food and then distributed Staff members and alumni of District 218 wait to distribute donations to families in their approaching cars at the food drive at Eisenhower High School on June 6th. to families for pick up at Shepard. In addition, food was delivered to the homes of five families who had no means of transportation to school,” Weber said. The Village is grateful to everyone involved in this project for taking the initiative to help their neighbors. Well done! A Reminder to Not Text and Drive Life in 2020 has presented new challenges and risks for all of us. One risk that none of us can afford to take that still too many of us do is texting while driving. We know the temptation when we’re at the wheel — we get a text notification and we want to see who it’s from, and what it’s about. And if we take that step to read it while driving, we’re that much more tempted to respond. If this sounds familiar to you, it’s likely time for you to change your initial response when you receive that notification. If you’re on the road and you receive a text message, or realize that you need to send one, instead of reaching for your phone, begin to look for a convenient place to pull over or pull off the highway. You may add a couple of minutes to your commute, but you will be doing your part to help keep our roads safe, and you might save your life as well as that of others. Remember that texting and driving is also now considered a moving violation. If you receive three moving violations in the course of a year, your license will be suspended. This also includes operating the GPS on your phone, playing music, or any instance in which your phone distracts you from your driving. If Illinois State Police so much as catch you with your phone in your hand, they will issue a citation. So while we’re on the road, let’s rethink how we react when those notifications come in!

July 2020 Number 520 Crestwood Adviser 11 Moraine Valley Faculty Presentation Selected for National Course A presentation given by a Moraine Valley faculty member at a national conference is evolving into a continuing education course for medical technologists across the country. Anna Jannak, instructor and co-coordinator of the college’s Medical Assistant Program, presented at the American Medical Technologists 2019 conference, offering her expertise on ways nurses and other members of the medical profession can better treat and care for patients with hypertension. Jannak, who started her first nursing job in 1991, is humbled by the association’s decision to transform her presentation into an e-learning course for others in the industry to earn continuing education credits. “I feel so fortunate I can share my experiences and knowledge and all those years of stories I have with patients and other coworkers,” she said. Her presentation resonated well with attendees. “I spoke in a room with seating for about 90 people. All of the seats were taken, and there were people standing in the back. Some people even wanted to take pictures with me, so, yes, it went very well,” she said. Jannak said she believes her topic was so well-received because hypertension is a common chronic disease. According to the American Heart Association, more than 80 million Americans age 20 and older— about one in three adults—have high blood pressure. “I talked about my real experiences with patients and how to teach them to take control of their own health,” Jannak said. “It’s important to keep the lines of communication open with patients. Nobody wants to know they have hypertension. That really is a lifelong commitment to take care of yourself so we need to be sure we give patients the tools to make that commitment.” “It’s great to see Anna’s knowledge and passion for healthcare is not only recognized at Moraine Valley, but also at the national level. This is truly a well-deserved honor for her,” said Dr. Kiana Battle, dean of Career Programs. The e-learning course is expected to be available to members of the association in the fall. A presentation by Anna Jannak, instructor and co-coordinator of Moraine Valley’s Medical Assistant Program, is being developed into a continuing education course for medical technologists nationwide.
