It's Throwback Thursday! On December 17, 1989, the J. Allen Knox Radiation Therapy Center opened its doors. With this addition, patients would no longer have to travel to neighboring cities for state-of-the-art radiation care. "This is a most requested service," said S. Arnold Nunnery, [former] hospital and chief executive officer. "Families and friends of patients who have had to go out of town for this service have asked for at least 10 years to provide radiation therapy. Our physicians, especially Drs. Ruby Grimm and Pam Westmoreland Sholar, our oncologists, have supported our providing this service." #70YearsofHealing #InspireWellbeingTogether #MyHealthMyIredell

As part of our 70th Anniversary celebration, we're honoring some of our longest-serving employees! Next up is Keith Williams, the Director of Patient Financial Services! Keith's journey with Iredell began in 1982 as a high school student looking for a part-time job. “I’m a Statesville native who was taught by my father the importance of community service. What better way to serve the community than to be a part of an organization whose existence is centered around providing quality care to the community,” said Williams.

It's Throwback Thursday! In July of 1989, Iredell Memorial Hospital opened the doors of the 18-bed skilled nursing facility. ⚕ In an article from the Statesville Record & Landmark: "Seeing the need for a type of transitional care, Iredell Memorial Hospital became the first hospital in North Carolina to apply for and get a certificate of need for short-term, long-term care.

Happy Independence Day from Iredell Health System! 🎆🔴⚪🔵 As you prepare for celebratory cookouts, consider these tips to keep your food safe this summer. 🌭🍽 🛣 In a RV: Make sure the refrigerator works and is clean before you go. Check expiration dates on canned foods. Throw out canned items that were exposed to freezing temperatures during the winter. ⛵ On a Boat: Don't set out a spread for all-day snacking. Put food back in the cooler between meals. If you're fishing, check with the state health department to make sure the fish in your river or lake are safe to eat. ⛺ Tent Camping: Keep the cooler out of direct sunlight. Try covering it with a light-colored blanket that can reflect heat. Clean your hands before opening the cooler and again after touching raw meat. 🥾 While Hiking: Pack your own water or purify what you find. carry nonperishable snacks like canned tuna or dried fruit. Skip any foods that might spoil unless you can keep them cold. 🏖 At the Beach: Partially bury the cooler in the sand and shade it with an umbrella. Discard anything that's been sitting out for more than two hours (1 hour if it's more than 90 degrees out). 🚗 In a Car: Pack frozen and perishable items in an ice-filled cooler. While traveling, keep the cooler inside the air-conditioned part of the car. At your destination, keep the cooler in the shade.
