TJRH breaks ground on innovative facility in Smiths Grove Smiths Grove, KY - T.J.

The clinic will offer primary care, specialty services, naturopathic and holistic wellness, and a unique drive-through care model--the first of its kind in Kentucky--where patients can receive essential health services such as allergy shots, strep swabs, ear checks, and other routine care without leaving their vehicle. "This new facility embodies our mission to meet patients where they are--both literally and figuratively," said Neil Thornbury, CEO of T.J. Regional Health. "Our drive-through model will make it easier for busy families, parents with children, and elderly patients to get quick, high-quality care in a convenient and comfortable way. We believe T.J. Health Smiths Grove will serve as a model for other healthcare facilities - not just across our state, but across the nation." T.J. Health Smiths Grove is designed to serve as both a medical hub and a wellness destination, integrating traditional and holistic medicine under one roof. The building's design emphasizes patient comfort, efficiency, and community connection. "This groundbreaking is significant in every sense of the word," added Stacey Biggs, Executive Vice President of Marketing, Planning & Development. "We're not just breaking ground on a building--we're breaking ground in how healthcare is delivered in Kentucky."

Scholars extol benefits of sport performance major By Duane Bonifer The time is right for colleges and universities to offer a major in sport performance. That was the consensus of four scholars who are part of a national movement that promotes the power and potential of competitive sport to shape and create leaders. The quartet spoke at "The Educational Value of Sport," a public panel held Monday, November 10, 2025, at Lindsey Wilson University. The four speakers were members of the Sport Major Collective, a group of scholars who help colleges and universities transform the athlete experience into a rigorous form of academic study. Lindsey Wilson is among the colleges and universities considering adding an undergraduate major in sport performance. "This is a real exciting moment in the history of American higher education," David Hollander, a clinical professor at New York University's Preston Robert Tisch Institute for Global Sport, told a crowd in the Norma and Glen Hodge Center for Discipleship.

Fellowship, Gratitude and Goodwill at LWU Veterans Luncheon By Duane Bonifer There was plenty to eat at this year's Lindsey Wilson University Veterans Appreciation Luncheon. The university's dining and catering services prepared a buffet meal of baked chicken, roast beef, salad, vegetables and rolls, and the Columbia Walmart Supercenter donated two full-size sheet cakes that each measured 18-by-26 inches and were covered in red, white and blue icing. But the quantity of food made available to area veterans and their spouses on Veterans Day 2025 was much less important than the quality of fellowship, gratitude and goodwill that flowed through VFW Post 6097 on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. It was the 23rd consecutive year Lindsey Wilson has sponsored the free event for the region's veterans and their spouses, and this year's luncheon attracted more than 180 area residents. "It's one of the finest veterans events I've been to in my life," said William Nogar of Columbia, who served in the Air Force from 1956-86.

World Pneumonia Day is November 12 Once called "Winter Fever," the symptoms of pneumonia have been known since the time of Greek physician Hippocrates, who commented on it around 460 BC. It wasn't until the late 1800s that the bacterial cause of pneumonia was identified--Streptococcus pneumoniae was first isolated in 1880 by Louis Pasteur and George Sternberg. By the 1940s, with the development and mass production of antibiotics like penicillin, more people began to survive the lung disease.

Veterans Day: A time for appreciation We all recognize the solemn moment of "the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month." We bow our heads in recognition of the end of World Wars I and II. Most of all, on Veterans Day, we remember and honor the veterans of all American wars and conflicts. We show our gratitude in many ways. Some of us will attend parades, ceremonies or prayer services. Others will take time to remember family members and friends who served in past and present conflicts. Many of us will just say, "Thank you for your service."
