Employment Assistance to combat the current Labor Shortage in Danville

Danville, IL (June 27, 2022) – This summer, The Salvation Army of Vermilion County, in partnership with Goodwill Industries, will host three (3) workshops sponsored by Jason Whaling at First Savings Bank in Danville.

Employment assistance has always been an important offering for The Salvation Army, where more than 9200 people were served in Vermilion County during the pandemic, often because of employment issues. Goodwill's Career Center works with hundreds or people every year as a local employment resource.

"This is a fitting initiative at a challenging time for local employers. Between my twenty years of recruitment experience and Janice Coleman's long-standing history of employment assistance in Danville, we are excited to team up and help in this critical area," said Melissa Wilhelm, Special Events Coordinator for The Salvation Army.

"The purpose of these workshops is to help minimize the current labor shortage and heighten the ability to secure employment for those who may benefit from resume assistance, interview skills and job search techniques." said Janice Coleman, Career Coach at the Goodwill Career Center in Danville.

All job seekers are welcome to attend, and sponsorships are welcome. To learn more, visit the events page at https://centralusa.salvationarmy.org/danville/

A Nova Scotia man is thanking a digital watch for saving his life. Travis Chalmers, of Elmsdale, N.S., said he was outside playing road hockey with his son when he suddenly experienced a "warm sensation" in his chest area and a splitting headache. "I just thought it was a flu or cold coming on and my seasonal allergies had been kicking in. I thought it was flu-like symptoms and shrugged it off," he said. But to Chalmers' surprise, an otherwise laidback afternoon eventually took a scary turn when he glanced at his wrist. A notification from his Apple Watch led him to discover he was experiencing a heart attack. "About a half hour later, I'm laying down with my daughter and my heart rate is still beating out of my chest," he continued, adding that he monitored his heart rate on his Apple Watch for the next few hours. The watch indicated that he was experiencing atrial fibrillation, a rapid heart rhythm that can increase the ris...

Like many things, there's another side to the opioid crisis. While the addiction to opioids is a problem that needs to be addressed, people who are using the drugs exclusively as prescribed — and who still truly need it from a medical perspective — have been swept up in what some have seen as government's knee-jerk reaction to the crisis.

It Was Stranger Than It Seemed. - The New York Times Posted: 12 Dec 2019 11:25 AM PST It was chest pain that brought the 34-year-old woman to the emergency room at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. She'd been coughing for days, but that morning the pain was so bad she was worried that it had turned into pneumonia. She tried to tough it out, but when it was no better by the end of the day, she decided to go to the E.R. It took a few hours, but finally the physician assistant caring for her in the E.R. brought some good news. She didn't have pneumonia; she didn't have a clot in her lungs. This was just muscle strain from coughing. The year before, she was told she had asthma. She was given inhalers to stop the coughing and wheezing, but they didn't seem to do much. So she didn'...
