Ephraim McDowell nurses earn certification

The CNOR certification indicates the nurse has achieved a specialized level of practice in providing perioperative care. Perioperative nurses work as part of the interdisciplinary surgical team to provide appropriate and safe patient care.
Arth lives in Danville with her husband, Loren, and Brown lives in Harrodsburg with her husband, Mike. Both have been employed at Ephraim McDowell since 2007.
Stuart Powell Ford, community collaborate for humane society
Ford Motor Company and its dealers have launched a new program called Drive 4 UR Community, which is designed to help raise much needed funding for local community groups and nonprofit organizations. Drive 4 UR Community is very similar in concept to Ford’s successful Drive 4 UR School initiative, which has raised more than $12 million for local schools since its inception in 2007.
The event will be held 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday at Stuart Powell Ford-Lincoln-Mazda, 225 South Danville By-Pass. The dealership is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR Community program to the Danville area in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for Danville-Boyle County Humane Society. For every person who takes the wheel and test-drives a new Ford vehicle Saturday, Stuart Powell and Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to Danville-Boyle County Humane Society.
The funds will go towards a much needed facility expansion, helping many animals in the local area.
“We know funding for community programs is hard to come by, and we want to do our part to help make sure these programs remain available,” said Patti Powell, vice-president at Stuart Powell Ford-Lincoln-Mazda. “We’re excited to raise money for Danville-Boyle County Humane Society.”
The event will feature many vehicles from Ford’s impressive line-up.
“Whether you are looking to test out our larger vehicles, like the Explorer or F-150, or are more interested in a smaller sedan, like the Focus, we will be able to put you behind the wheel of your favorite Ford vehicle,” said Powell.
Humane Society volunteers will greet, register test-drivers and ride with drivers on their test drives. Dealership staff will be available upon request to assist with all Ford vehicles and provide additional information about each vehicle available for test-drive.
Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s license. There is a limit of one test-drive per address. All test-drives, including registration and survey, will last approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
