COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL | OCTOBER 8, 2020 | 3A PeaceHealth expands ‘SelfCare for HealthCare’ program Nationally acclaimed author, nurse and speak- er LeAnn Thieman will bring her transfor- mational SelfCare for HealthCare™ program to nursing and ancillary caregivers at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield and at Peace- Health Sacred Heart Medical Center, Univer- sity District, in Eugene. Thieman will be on the RiverBend campus through today, Oct. 8, wildfires and social un- rest. SelfCare for Health- Care™ is based upon a simple principle: to nur- ture the bodies, minds and spirits of patients, we must first nurture their caregivers. Last year, Thieman brought the program to nurses at the RiverBend campus in Springfield. Based on that suc- cess, PeaceHealth is now offering it at both Sa- cred Heart campuses in and on the University District campus on Oct. 9. By sharing stories from her best-selling “Chicken Soup for the Soul, Inspi- ration for Nurses” and her own 30-plus years at the bedside, Thieman teaches selfcare strategies while honoring caregiv- ers and their daily contri- butions and sacrifices. And those sacrifices have been monumen- tal in these challenging times of COVID-19, area Springfield and Eugene. “Our PeaceHealth caregivers need this pro- gram again now more than ever,” says Heather Wall, chief nursing offi- cer for the PeaceHealth Oregon network. “They have worked tirelessly with tremendous forti- tude and commitment. We have had such great results with the first year of the program that we are reinvesting in our most valuable asset, our caregivers. “We are committed to their health and well-be- ing. “ Thieman is author of 14 Chicken Soup for the Soul books, including three in the series for nurses and Chicken Soup for the Caregiver’s Soul. Her speaking career began when she was “ac- cidentally” caught up in the Vietnam Orphan Airlift in 1975, when she helped to rescue 300 babies at the end of the Vietnam War. Thieman is an expert in healthcare recruitment and retention and helps to hire and inspire health professionals from coast to coast. “I am honored to be partnering with the amazing leadership at PeaceHealth and am in- spired by their commit- ment to the health and happiness of their entire staff,” Thieman says. State Fire Marshal reminds Oregonians that October is ‘Fire Prevention Month’ cooking being the leading cause of fires in the kitch- en,” said Assistant Chief Deputy Claire McGrew. “In Oregon, cooking was the leading known cause of residential structure fires over the past five years, through 2019.” According to data col- lected from the Oregon fire service for the Na- tional Fire Reporting Sys- tem, home fires caused 29 deaths in Oregon in 2019, and fire agencies in Oregon responded to 2,790 home fires; and cooking was the leading known cause of residen- As Oregon experiences cooler weather and many community members be- gin to spend more time at home, the Office of State Fire Marshal will be en- gaging in support of the national campaign of Fire Prevention Month and will be running cooking fire safety messaging for the month of October. Oregon’s theme mir- rors the 2020 national theme: Serve up fire safe- ty in the kitchen! “Nationally, cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries, with unattended tial structure fires over the past five years (2015- 19), causing an average of 19 percent of Oregon’s total residential structure fires and six deaths. To help keep you safe in the kitchen, cooking fire safety tips include: • Keep an eye on what you’re cooking — don’t leave cooking unattend- ed. • Keep your cooking areas clean and clear of combustibles (pothold- ers, food packaging, tow- els, etc.), and wipe up surface spills. • Create a three-foot kid- and pet-free zone around the stove. • Older children should only cook with permis- sion and under the su- pervision of an adult. • Have a lid or cookie sheet within reach while cooking (to smother flames) in case of a fire. If a cooking fire does start: • Put a lid on it! Slide a lid over the pan (from the side) and then turn off the burner. • Don’t move the pan until the fire is com- pletely extinguished and cooled, and don’t try to transfer the pan to the sink. If you cannot quickly extinguish the fire: • Get you and your family safely out of the house. • If you can, close doors as you are escaping, to help contain the fire. • Call 911 from a safe place (outside). “This year has been a challenging one for Oregonians,” says State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple. “As we continue to face the chal- lenges of COVID-19 and now the impacts of the Oregon fire season, it demonstrates the resil- ient spirit of Oregonians. Fire Prevention Month is a good reminder as we continue to be in our homes and closed set- tings to bring fire safe practices into the home, which will continue to keep you and your fami- lies safe from the dangers of fire.” For more information on home cooking fire safety, visit the OSFM’s website.
