A broken heart

This letter is to the person who ran over my cat, Lucy, on Wednesday, January 29, 2014. This was the day it snowed and a lot of people I did not recognize were on my street because there was no school. I live on north Mill Street which is normally a very quiet street. My kitties were enjoying playing in the snow. Someone either accidentally (why didn't you stop?) or intentionally ran over my black and white cat Lucy. I suspect from her injuries it was a golf cart or 4-wheeler. I found her in front of my neighbor ...

REACH brings Level 1 stroke care to KershawHealth

Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke, and in 2010 South Carolina had the sixth largest number of strokes in the country, in part because of its particularly high incidence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and smoking. In addition, African Americans tend to have more debilitating strokes, and have them earlier in life, than other groups -- likely because one in three African Americans suffers from high blood pressure, the number one risk factor for stroke.
