Good morning, Ross County. Rural Ohioans face a 30% greater risk of dying from stroke than urban Americans — but Adena Health is working hard to close that gap. Three local facilities just earned American Heart Association awards for rapid, evidence-based stroke care, with Adena Regional Medical Center taking home the top Gold Plus honor. That's the kind of news that makes you proud of your zip code.
On the national front, PepsiCo beat expectations on snack sales, Tesla's comeback appears to be gaining traction, and the legendary Alan Greenspan has passed away at the end of a truly remarkable run. Closer to home, the weekend is shaping up nicely — Faye LIVE and Chillicothe Revival Night are both on deck, fresh listings are inside, and Financial Friday has some timely advice on spending smarter.
