  • St. Elizabeth Hospice Celebrates 10 Years of Inpatient Care Mary and Jim Bunning Honored with Renaming of Community Grief Support Center
    July 5, 2017 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE St. Elizabeth Hospice celebrates 10 years of inpatient care Mary and Jim Bunning honored with renaming of Community Grief Support Center The Carol Ann & Ralph V. Haile Jr. US Bank Foundation Hospice Center at St. Elizabeth Edgewood celebrated its 10- year anniversary by honoring donors and staff during a small ceremony last week (Thursday, June 29, 2017). The 16-bed center -- specifically built for those journeying toward the end of life -- provides care and comfort to terminally-ill patients and their families. St. Elizabeth Healthcare was the first hospital in Kentucky to provide inpatient care. “We’ve cared for about 4,203 patients since opening in 2007,” said Brian Jones, director of hospice and palliative care programs at St. Elizabeth Healthcare. “It’s been a tremendous gift to the community and a continuation of the hospice care St. Elizabeth has been providing since 1986.” Longtime philanthropists and hospice supporters Mary Bunning and her late husband Jim Bunning also were recognized during the ceremony. The grief center -- located next to the Hospice Center – was renamed to honor their contributions. Jim Bunning was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996 after a 17-year Major League Baseball career as a pitcher. A Republican from Kentucky, Bunning served in the U.S. Senate for 10 years. The Mary & Jim Bunning Community Grief Support Center provides free individual, family and group grief counseling to anyone in the community experiencing a loss, not just those who have been through the hospice program. “We are so thankful to supporters like Mary and Jim Bunning who help St.

  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – Jan. 23, 2019 Walker short in next-to-last year on HOF ballot Former slugger receives 54.6 percent of vote; Helton gets 16.5 percent in first year of eligibility Thomas Harding | MLB.com | Jan. 22, 2019 DENVER -- Former Rockies star Larry Walker introduced himself under a different title during his conference call with Denver media on Tuesday: "Fifty-four-point-six here." That's the percentage of voters who checked Walker in his ninth year of 10 on the Baseball Writers' Association of America Hall of Fame ballot. It's a dramatic jump from his previous high, 34.1 percent last year -- an increase of 88 votes. However, he's going to need an 87-vote leap to reach the requisite 75 percent next year, his final season of eligibility. Jayson Stark of the Athletic noted during MLB Network's telecast that the only player to receive a jump of at least 80 votes in successive years was former Reds shortstop Barry Larkin, who was inducted in 2012. But when publicly revealed ballots had him approaching the mid-60s in percentage, Walker admitted feeling excitement he hadn't experienced in past years. "I haven't tuned in most years because there's been no chance of it really happening," Walker said. "It was nice to see this year, to watch and to have some excitement involved with it. "I was on Twitter and saw the percentages that were getting put out there for me. It made it more interesting. I'm thankful to be able to go as high as I was there before the final announcement." When discussing the vote, one must consider who else is on the ballot.
