SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Oh, the things you can pick up at auction for two bucks. A Petersburg family has donated to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum a ledger from a local dry-goods store documenting sales for thirteen months in 1836-37. A young lawyer and lawmaker named Abraham Lincoln was a frequent customer, buying, among other things, clothing materials — buttons, fabric, and thread – to likely either make a suit or repair an existing one.

Clearing up common myths about home health and hospice care

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — When a loved one is recovering from an illness or living with a serious one, families have a lot of decisions to make. Often those decisions are shaped by things they've heard about home health and hospice that aren't true. In honor of National Home Care and Hospice Month this November, HSHS Home Care is sharing the facts so patients and families can find the support they need, when they need it. "So many families tell us they wish they had reached out sooner," said Trisha Ratliff, HSHS Home Care Patient Experience Coordinator. "Our goal is to help people feel more comfortable, more supported and more like themselves, right where they live." HOME HEALTH: MYTH VS. FACT Myth: To get therapy, you have to leave home. Fact: With a doctor's order, patients who find it difficult to leave home can receive skilled nursing and therapy right where they live.
