PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center is is a com- munity hospital built with local leadership and commu- nity financial support. That means Florence resi- dents have an opportunity to participate in the hospital’s ongoing policies, procedures and practices to insure it operates at the highest possi- ble level in patient and fami- ly care. That can only be done with dedicated persons willing to give time and energy to serve on Peace Harbor’s Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC), working with other community members as well as hospital staff. This collaborative effort provides the means to moni- tor the care received in the hospital setting and take steps for improvement where it may fall short. PFAC will work best with advisors of all ages from 18 and older being represented. This is critical to the success of the PFAC since health care needs and experiences vary from age to age, and no one understands and can speak to that better than individuals of each age group. Interested community members are encouraged to be a part of the PFAC. Being on the committee requires monthly meetings except for July and December, and ded- ication. Co-chairs of the PFAC, Janis Finley and Bob Horney, have scheduled an informa- tional meeting for anyone interested in being part of this Patient and Family Advisory Council. The meeting will be held Thursday, March 10, in Conference Room C at PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center, 400 Ninth St., from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Call 541-902-6813 to reserve a seat. Available space limits the number of participants to about 15. Call Janis Finley at 541- 902-6074 or Bob Horney at 541-997-6626 for more information. Cel e 70 brati Yea ng rs!

But somewhere in a small annex, a little girl finds the courage to survive. During two years of hiding, Anne Frank records daily activities and conversations with wit and astonishing honesty. We learn through a mature 13-year-old girl that the human heart truly can defeat the fear of death. In this drama presented by the Last Resort Players, audi- ences will be invited to wit- ness what life may have been like for the Frank family. Living a claustrophobic existence together, eight peo- ple try to contain their fear of what is to come, grief for what was lost and hope for a peace where they can go back to their ordinary lives. History plays out before audience members in this adaptation that is for those who know the story well, and for a new generation that has yet to understand the gift that Anne Frank gave to the world through her diary: “When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived! But, and that’s a big question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?” “The Diary of Anne Frank” will be performing April 22 through 30 at the Florence Events Center, 715 Quince St. Reserve tickets by calling 541-997-1994 or visit www. eventcenter.org. 45% OFF Implants NOW FREE CONSULTATION Price Reduced 206 Nopal Street Florence, OR 97439 See the DentureMaster’s difference, we do it all right here!
