Thank you Marion County Fire District for being a partner we can always count on,” said Leilani Slama, Salem Hospital’s Vice President of Community Engagement. MCFD#1 normally carries ventilators in their ambulances, but fi re chief Kyle McMann felt that they were put to better use at Salem Hospital, especially with the number of patients they receive at the hospital that are dealing with COVID-19 symptoms. “Ventilators are vital to the healthcare system to assist patients that are not able to breathe on their own or have diffi culty breathing on their own due to medical conditions, including COVID-19 complications,” McMann said. “There is also concern that the number of ventilators available will not meet demand as the infection rate increases.” McMann says that the district can still operate effectively and effi ciently and that the lack of ventilators won’t have an impact. “We are mindful of what our local system needs and we are able to use a bag valve mask ventilation delivery system when patients need us to breathe for them during a relatively short transport to the hospital (15-20 minutes),” McMann said. “But a ventilated patient in the hospital needs hours, days or weeks on a ventilator, so a mechanical means to ventilate is more critical in the hospital. Their need was greater and it does not reduce our services or level of care at all.” McMann also encourages people to practice social distancing to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and that MCFD#1 plans to continue to serve the community to the best of their ability. “Stay home and stay safe, we are fl attening the curve and MCFD#1 is prepared to respond to this crisis and have plans in place to provide all services during this time to the community,” McMann said.

Above all, Hank was a family man. He adored his children, grandchildren and extended family. He loved family vacations, camping, boating, playing cards, spend- ing time at the cabin and helping anyone and every- one who needed it. Hank was a Master Gardener and is well known for working long hours in his beautiful yard. His integrity, determi- nation and playful spirit will be sorely missed. He leaves his beloved wife Evonne of 52 years; his son Daren Lucas (Patricia); his daughters Michelle Mhoon and Heather Bixel (Mark); grandchildren Kelsey and Brandon Lucas, Brayden Bixel, Ella, Andrew and Hen- ry Mhoon; his best friend and brother, Jerry Kimball; his sisters Linda Strobehn (Rich) and Kathy Ben- nett (Jim); along with many nieces, nephews and friends. Hank was predeceased by his parents Arthur and Elizabeth Kimball, brother Richard Kimball and his sister Ro- berta Major (Ted). A private entombment was held at Belcrest Memo- rial Park, Salem, on March 27. A memorial service will be held at Our Savior’s Lu- theran Church in Salem at a future date. Donations may be made in Hank’s honor to the Build- ing Fund at Our Savior’s Lu- theran Church, a charity dear to his heart.
