Good morning, Pickaway County. In the world of emergency response, not all heroes wear capes—some wear lab coats. Dr. John Gabis of Adena Health has been recognized as a finalist for Ohio's prestigious Albert E. Dyckes award after his Hope Partnership Project helped slash overdose deaths by one-sixth in Ross County. His extraordinary commitment—from home visits to eulogies—represents healthcare at its most compassionate core, earning national recognition from the Health Resources and Services Administration.
Meanwhile, a bizarre incident unfolded when Jeffrey Corby's false hostage report triggered a massive emergency response, complete with drones, helicopters, and highway closures. As he awaits sentencing, there's a more uplifting transformation happening locally—APRN Kristy Thompson has pivoted from emergency care to launch Skin Clique, a mobile skincare business bringing professional aesthetic treatments directly to clients' homes, eliminating waiting rooms while utilizing medical-grade products.
