REMINDERS (VERY IMPORTANT)
Just a friendly reminder to make sure that
every time you attend a program or class at the
Center that you are checking in on the computer. If you do not have your card you can use
your phone number. If you have problems let
me know and I will help you. Also if you need
a card, please let me know.
CLOSING OF THE CENTER
When the roads are bad due to weather we
would prefer that people not get out and about.
Due to this it is a reminder that when Clearwater USD 264 cancels school the Community
Doing nothing
for others is the
undoing of
ourselves

Hermes Healthcare
Foot Care for you when you cant.
Your feet are a very important part of your health and independence, and caring for them can become
quite a talk as you age. You may not be physically able to care for them properly any longer, due to
failing vision, decreased mobility or flexibility. You may have one or more health diagnoses that also
put you at risk, such as diabetes, cardiac or neurological problems. Any or all of these can create special
problems for the feet, and possibly decrease your ability to feel when you have sores, foreign bodies, or
infection on any part of the foot. Your feet and toes can also become more deformed as you age, creating pressure points that can cause sores as well. Properly caring for and maintaining the health of your
feet, can provide you with greater independence for the rest of your life. Medicare covers these routine
foot care every 60 days. Hermes Healthcare can trim nails, remove callous, ingrown toenails, plantar
warts, and can do some minor wound care. They used to come to Dr. Papishs office but have since out
grown the space. They will now be visiting the Clearwater Community Center every other month. If
you would like to make an appointment for when they are here please call 316-260-4110. The dates below are when they are here.
Wednesdays March 2, May 4, July 6th, Sept 7 and November 9th.
