BOBS beats hunger each day with free breakfasts

It's been 30 years since five diverse Christian denominations and congregations united in a common purpose. Each workday at the crack of dawn, it's still going strong. Volunteers from those five churches each morning come together to serve a free hot breakfast to anyone who needs it. Guests might be homeless, they might be struggling to make ends meet, they might just have a big family of small children, or they're elderly on a fixed income. What's the name of this ministry? Well, there's a funny expression popular in the British Commonwealth that goes, "And Bob's your uncle." It's how you might sum up a lengthy explanation, another way of saying, "And there you go." But here in Abilene, BOBS's not your uncle. BOBS is Breakfast on Beech Street. Income, social status, age, religious affiliation — none of those things matter at BOBS. What does matter is that everyone starts the day with a proper meal and for good measure they get a sack lunch on their way out the door when they're finished. The five congregations that bring BOBS to life are First Christian Church, Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest, First Methodist Church, First Central Presbyterian Church, Highland

Hendrick Medical Center now a Level II trauma site

Hendrick Medical Center has announced a significant milestone in its role as a regional healthcare provider. The north Abilene hospital has earned a designation as a Level II Trauma Center, according to a hospital media release. Hendrick can provide initial trauma care for a broad range of injuries and severities, the media release said. Hendrick will also be able to take expanded leadership responsibilities in the region in relation to trauma education and disaster planning. “We are able to care for more trauma patients closer to home instead of transferring them to centers far from Abilene,” Dr. Erin Woller, a surgeon and medical director for Trauma Services at Hendrick, said in the media release. Being a Level II Trauma Center means that the hospital has the surgeons and operating room personnel on hand and in-house at any hour of the day. Hendrick is the highest-level trauma center off Interstate Highway 20 between Fort Worth and Midland. The new designation has been a goal five years in the making. Hendrick built a Trauma and Acute Care Surgery team in-house with the ability to respond at whatever time they are needed. More: BOBS beats hunger each day with free breakfasts They added
