New Improvements and Upgrades Enhance Patient Experience at Mark Twain Medical Center

San Andreas, CA...December 1, 2016- Mark Twain Medical Center (MTMC) adds a special glow to the recent lighting upgrade in its surgery suites with a $300,000-plus cost savings to the completed project. “This project creates a more comfortable environment for our patients and our surgeons,” says Certified Surgical Services Management Director Lynn Bartel, RN, BSN. She explains, “An operating room usually seems very cool to patients because it must be no more than 68 degrees to keep things sterile. But once the overhead lights go on, surgeons are working in 80 to 90 degrees at the site of the surgery due to the heat from the bright lights. That can quickly increase to 100-plus degrees depending upon what surgery-specific garments are required.”

Arnold, CA...Calaveras County Water District crews performed an emergency leak repair between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday November 21 on the old section of the Reach 3A water transmission pipeline, which runs through downtown Arnold and has reached the end of its useful life. Since spring 2016, the District has been working on a $5.3 million Capital Renovation and Replacement project to replace the old line, which was initially installed in 1965. Approximately 80 percent of the old pipe has been replaced, and this water leak occurred in the remaining portion of the pipeline that has yet to be upgraded. The project is expected to be complete in spring 2017, and engineers expect the new pipeline will last up to 75 years.

Arnold, CA...Yesterday marked an end of an era for the Ebbetts Pass Fire District. Battalion Chief Brian Hukkanen worked his last shift at EPFD Station One. He has retired after a 37 year career of helping our community. He started as a 15 year old cadet and has been with EPFD since 1979. After thousands of calls for fires, vehicle collisions, medical aids and more Battalion Chief Hukkanen will be moving on to a new phase in his life. Not to worry though as the Hukkanen name will still be well represented in our area as his sons Aaron and Kyle are both in uniform and working in the family business. Congratulations Brian, Thank You and you will leave large boots to fill.
