LMC Has Conference Room Available For Classes/Organizations Usage
The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes can be a place for local clubs, classes and organizations to get a facility tour and have their scheduled meetings.
“Groups can schedule tours at the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes and also use our conference room if they need to have a meeting as well,” Joyce Davenport, administrative assistant, said. “In addition, there is a kitchenette available so refreshments can be served during their meetings in the conference room. There is also a large screen that can be used for media.”
It can accommodate up to 45 people, Davenport said.
The LMC needs clubs/classes/organizations to schedule two weeks prior, so as not to conflict with previously scheduled events.
The room is huge, with a glass-faced southern view of the greenspace next door to the building.
Contact the LMC at 620-223-1312 between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Integrity Home Care + Hospice Opens In Fort Scott
Integrity Home Care + Hospice announces the opening of its Fort Scott location, offering quality post-acute care and hospice throughout the region. Effective March 1, the home health and hospice provider is at 902 South Horton Street, where it will provide acute rehabilitation and hospice services.
“Families with a loved one facing a serious, life-limiting illness or extensive rehabilitation will want and need to know that quality services are available,” says Amy Ford, vice president of operations for certified services at Integrity.
Integrity Home Care + Hospice is a faith-based, privately held leader in quality, post-acute health care. Committed to quality patient and family experiences wherever people call home, the healthcare provider offers a comprehensive range of compassionate, client-centered home care, hospice, and home health rehabilitation services in Missouri and Kansas.
“People in this community can feel secure knowing they have a provider who is committed to meeting their home health and hospice needs,” says Ford.
Integrity’s partners in Bourbon and Crawford counties and surrounding areas include forward-thinking regional providers which meet the needs of patients who wish to remain in their home during times of serious, life altering illness or at end of life.
Due to an aging population the knowledge that family members can get the post-acute care they need is now critically important to the region.
“Our goal is to keep patients safe. By providing quality care, we can keep them out of the hospital so they can remain wherever they call home,” she says.
Individuals who have exhausted acute treatment options may struggle with their care plan after being told there’s nothing else doctors can do. When that time comes, Integrity’s team works closely with patients and families to develop a plan of care which helps them to meet their goals.
“When it’s time to ask for help, they can receive it right here at home,” Ford says.
Working side by side with caregivers, Integrity addresses challenges in managing chronic and serious illness, facing problems head-on, and customizing solutions for issues faced by each patient in the community they serve.
“Working together, we ensure each person maintains the quality of life they want and deserve,” she says.
Integrity Home Care + Hospice is located at 902 South Horton Street. For more information on hospice, call (620) 223-1191, or to explore home health options, call (620) 223-1195.
