Camp Kesem to give back to kids

·

A brand new teddy bear lights up a little girl’s face – a little girl who doesn’t live a normal life because her parents have cancer. Now, the Osmon Chiropractic Center is helping Camp Kesem to make more of these moments by asking new or old patients to bring in a “cuddly critter” in exchange for a free case history, orthopedic and neurological exam and x-rays.

35 years of memories

·

Nancy Macklin has a black and white photo of the old Little 500 stadium on 10th Street, dated April 26, 1980. She can point to the spot near the first turn where she and her medical staff set up a tent during her first Little 500 in 1973. Macklin, now the director of nursing at the IU Health Center, has not missed a race in 35 years, but can still recall her first one like it was yesterday.
