​

Good morning, Muskingum County. A digital revolution is transforming healthcare right in our backyard. OhioHealth Southeastern Medical Center's $29.1 million CareConnect system isn't just a technological upgrade—it's creating a seamless patient experience with unified health records, improved communication between providers, and the convenient MyChart tool that puts appointment scheduling and test results at your fingertips. This Epic-powered system connects our local doctors with healthcare providers across the state and nation, ensuring you receive coordinated care wherever life takes you.

Despite Saturday's downpour, umbrellas became the unexpected fashion accessory as Ridgewood and Coshocton high schoolers celebrated their proms with unwavering enthusiasm. Meanwhile, the community mourns a bright light extinguished too soon—Evan Davis, an Indian Valley High School sophomore whose courage throughout his battle with brain stem cancer inspired everyone around him. As his band community remembers his remarkable spirit, we're reminded of the strength that defines our community through both celebration and loss.
