Bryan Johnson – Heartland Hospice

If you only had 6 months to live, what if anything would you do differently? In order to use hospice, you need two doctors to diagnosis that you have six months to live. Hospice is here to provide quality of life in your final days. Only 40 percent of hospice patients are diagnosis with cancer. Hospice helps to manage pain and offer higher quality of life. It is possible to travel for special events with the hospice network. Hospice would never take away a person’s hope. A recent study showed that on average hospice patients live three months longer than patients with similar diagnoses. Heartland Hospice’s team includes nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers, spiritual caregivers, volunteers and bereavement counselors. Heartland also offers volunteer opportunities. They have three categories: vigil volunteers, friendly volunteers, and special projects. For more information on volunteers or to sign up for training, contact Hollie at 1-800-236-1989.

Dr. Ryan Haus, Fond du Lac Youth Baseball

Ryan is working to build two new diamonds at Lakeside Park. They will be built in phases with the lights being the final stage. The project has been delayed because of the dispute between the Fond du Lac School Board and the Boys Baseball. They hope to break ground in 2016 and play ball in 2017. History, two boards were formed in 1984. One was to develop the fields and the second one to run the daily baseball games.  A new nonprofit was developed to run boys baseball and add new fields. We have committed $5,000 to the news fields. No money has been spent on the new fields. The two fields on Fourth Street have not been used in the past year. They are owned by the old Baseball Inc. The new nonprofit would like to rent the fields for 2016.
