As part of the “For the Love of Animals” exhibit and recep- tion at the Florence Events Center benefiting the Oregon Coast Humane Society (OCHS), a raffle was held for an original oil painting of the winner’s pet. It was to be painted by artist Ronald Hildenbrand, well- known in Florence for his ani- mal portraits. Rhoda Ream was the lucky winner, and she asked that the portrait be done of her daughter Julia Sansome’s dog, “Brunswick.” “Brunswick is a family dog, and we all share his love,” said Ream. The portrait was recently completed and The Ream and Sansome families said they were thrilled with the results. Thanks to the raffle and pet photos, more than $300 was donated to the OCHS, as well as more than 200 pounds of pet food. The “For the Love of Animals” is an annual event sponsored by the Friends of the FEC and its Gallery Committee.

PeaceHealth announces new wait time updates PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center patients can now view approximate wait times, in minutes, of the Peace Harbor walk-in clinic. The new feature was recently launched on several pages of the Peace Harbor website. “We heard loud and clear during our Town Hall meet- ing in December that wait times in our walk-in clinic were a pain point for our patients,” said Nena Harvey, director of PeaceHealth Medical Group Operations, Peace Harbor. “While we continue to place community members with new providers, we also wanted to make accessing care in our walk-in clinic much easier to navi- gate.” Harvey says the wait times are updated at least once per hour by caregivers in the clin- ic. The wait-time display can be found on the PeaceHealth Medical Group Florence page the WeCare page and the Florence walk-in clinic page “Now, community mem- bers can make informed deci- sions about when to come in for care,” says Harvey.
