April is National Donate Life Month Each April, Kentucky's Circuit Clerks work alongside Donate Life Kentucky to celebrate National Donate Life Month (NDLM), an observance focusing attention on the national need for organ, eye and tissue donation to save and heal lives through the miracle of transplantation. National Donate Life Month is about the importance of registering your decision to be a donor, honoring deceased and living donors, and celebrating the lives they saved. It is the generosity of donors and donor families that makes saving lives through transplantation possible. Donate Life is the national brand for the cause of donation uniting 100,000 patients waiting for transplant, the donor families who say yes in their time of grief, and the more than 170 million Americans who have registered their decision to be a donor. Over 2 million people in Kentucky have registered, largely thanks to the work of the Circuit Clerks since 1992. "We invite the community to join us this April in supporting this vital cause and making a difference in the lives of those waiting for lifesaving transplants. In Kentucky, over 1000 children and adults are in need of a lifesaving organ transplant. We can all register to give hope to those waiting," shares Dennis Loy, Adair Circuit Court Clerk.

T.J. Samson Community Hospital now offers aquablation From Stacey Biggs Glasgow, KY - Aquablation, a new robotic surgical treatment for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is now available at T.J. Samson Community Hospital. BPH, or an enlarged prostate, is a common condition associated with urinary symptoms and sexual dysfunction in male patients. This new procedure produces excellent results with fewer side effects than the previous standard of care for BPH. The procedure is already proving to be popular with patients. "This is an exciting new treatment option for our patients," said Neil Thornbury, CEO of T.J. Regional Health. "Dr. Wiatrak and his team are highly trained and skilled to ensure long-lasting relief and improved quality of life for their patients." Aquablation uses robotic technology to destroy excess prostate tissue in BPH. Unlike other procedures to treat BPH, Aquablation is guided by ultrasound to allow the surgeon to accurately see the entire prostate as they target the tissue that needs to be removed. The procedure is minimally invasive, extremely precise, and highly effective.
