Gregory's Grilling Again: An Acute Rehab Success Story
August 05, 2022Today Gregory Hathcote has plans to go swimming in his pool. He talks excitedly about barbecuing chicken in his smoker. At some point soon, he knows he needs get back on his tractor to do some bushhogging. These plans would not seem all that uncommon in Arkansas, except that it was only about five months ago that debilitating knee pain kept Hathcote from being able to stand long enough to grill.

Technologist celebrates 40th anniversary
May 18, 2022When Saline Memorial Hospital got its first ultrasound, an ATL Mark 100, Cathy Seals and her boss Barbara Varnon were the first to learn how to use it.

Over time, the quality of the ultrasound equipment improved, and the volume of ultrasound requests grew to the point that now the hospital has three ultrasound machines and three technologists to operate them. Seals is still one of them. She celebrates her 40th anniversary today: May 18, 2022.
