COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL | THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 2020 | 3A Community News Valentine, midwife exhibits at CG Museum Expressions of love and photographs of hundreds of newborns are featured in two exhibits currently on display at the Cottage Grove Museum, 147 N. H St., in Cottage Grove. More than 50 valentines from the 1890s through the 1950s are on exhibit now through February. These valentines from the past are exceptional- ly intricate and fi nely de- tailed depictions of various images associated with Valentine’s Day including cherubs, angels, hearts and, new this year, two 3-di- mensional airplane themed valentines. Photographs of over 400 newborns delivered by Cottage Grove midwife Barbara Kaye are also on exhibit at the museum. Kaye practiced midwife- ry in Cottage Grove in the late 1970s, and donated this collection to the muse- um. Photographs of babies delivered by Barbara Kaye will be on exhibit through the summer. The Cottage Grove Mu- seum is open Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m., or by appointment. Admission is free but do- nations are encouraged. For more information, contact Becky Venice, Cot- tage Grove Museum Board President at 541-942-4269, email her at b_bvenice@ msn.com or visit the mu- seum website at www.cot- tagegrovemuseum.com DevNW to hold groundbreaking in CG Friday DevNW will be holding a groundbreaking celebration this Friday, Jan. 24, from 10 to 11 a.m. at 910-960 Arthur Ave. for six community land trust homes in Cottage Grove. The project will be a mix of two- and three-bedroom homes. This creates six new homes that will remain permanently affordable for the community. More information about this unique affordable housing com- ing to Cottage Grove will be presented at the groundbreak- ing. DevNW was created in 2019 when Neighborhood Econom- ic Development Corporation (NEDCO) and Willamette Neighborhood Housing Ser- vices (WNHS) united to expand their impact. For those interested in apply- ing for homes, the application period is open until Feb. 3. An application demonstrates in- terest in purchasing one of the homes; it does not guarantee selection. DevNW will work with ap- plicants to determine eligibility and mortgage readiness. An information session to learn more about this opportu- nity will be held on Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Cottage Grove Com- munity Center, 700 E. Gibbs Ave. All applicants will be entered into a lottery to move forward. Attendance at the information session is not required to apply. For specific questions, please contact Luis Mendoza at luis. mendoza@devnw.org or call 541-345-7106 ext. 2053. PeaceHealth Riverbend earns Chest Pain Center designation The Oregon Heart & Vas- cular Institute at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend is celebrating a major first-time recognition for demonstrating expertise and commitment in treating pa- tients with chest pain. The American College of Car- diology in December awarded PeaceHealth Sacred Heart at RiverBend Chest Pain Center Accreditation with Primary PCI, following a rigorous onsite assessment of the staff ’s ability to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients who may be experienc- ing a heart attack. Hospitals receiving this ac- creditation must take part in a multifaceted clinical process that includes a thorough ex- amination of care provided and an action plan for streamlining processes, implementing stan- dards and adopting best practic- es. They must meet or exceed an array of stringent criteria, and need to have organized a team of doctors, nurses, clinicians, and other administrative staff that earnestly support efforts leading to better patient educa- tion and patient outcomes. “This is another step in our continuing efforts to optimize patient care and outcomes,” said Mary Kingston, chief executive, PeaceHealth Oregon network. “This distinction was achieved by streamlining and improving our processes, from the time of admission to evaluation to diag- nosis to treatment, all the way through to post-discharge care and recommendations for life- style changes. Stringent mea- sures are in place to assure we are accountable to the higher accreditation standards.” RiverBend’s accreditation includes the “Primary PCI” distinction, which means the hospital can provide percutane- ous coronary intervention, also known as coronary angioplas- ty, 24/7, 365 days a year. PCI is a non-surgical procedure that opens narrowed or blocked cor- onary arteries with a balloon to relieve symptoms of heart dis- ease or reduce heart damage during or after a heart attack. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven- tion, more than 730,000 Amer- icans suffer a heart attack each year. The most common symp- tom of heart attack for both men and women is chest pain or discomfort. Other symptoms include tin- gling or discomfort in one or both arms, back, shoulder, neck or jaw, as well as shortness of breath, a cold sweat, unusual fatigue, a heartburn-like feel- ing, nausea or vomiting, sudden dizziness and fainting. Women are more likely to have atypical symptoms. To learn more about heart attack systems and OHVI at Sacred Heart at RiverBend, visit www.peacehealth.org/ shared-pages/Pages/heart-at- tack-symptoms.
