Our very own Anita Saig is teaming up with Jessica Aple, Crittenden Memorial Hospital’s Youth Health Services Coordinator, to complete “Open Airways” Asthma Education in elementary schools in Crittenden County. All eight elementary schools in West Memphis completed the education program this past February. There were 140 children in grades 3 through 6 that benefited from the experience. Elementary schools in Marion are next on the agenda and classes are scheduled to be completed by the end of the 2004 school year. The program serves as a great outreach tool as well as an opportunity for Anita to build a good rapport with school nurses.

Keep those creative juices flowing Anita!!!
