| Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded $3,204,046 to Indiana to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in rural communities. Specifically, this funding was awarded to the Indiana State Department of Health as an investment to support small rural hospitals in Indiana. Additional funding of $828,571 was awarded to the Indiana Rural Health Association, an HRSA-funded Telehealth Resource Center (TRC), to provide technical assistance on telehealth services to help rural and underserved areas combat COVID-19.
“Today’s funding gives rural hospitals in Indiana critical support to build up their capacity for fighting COVID-19 in their communities, including through further expansions of telehealth, more purchases of PPE, and boosting testing capacity,” said HHS Secretary Alex Azar. ”This funding, secured by President Trump from Congress, will build on the historic expansion of telehealth undertaken by the Trump Administration to help all Americans in Indiana access the care they need during the pandemic.” HRSA’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) received $150 million through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to assist hospitals across the nation, funded through the Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program (SHIP), respond to this public health emergency. The CARES Act funding allows hospitals maximum flexibility in how they respond to COVID-19 within their communities, including the provision of testing and laboratory services as well as the purchase of personal protective equipment to minimize COVID-19 exposure. Nationally, the FORHP will award more than $11.5 million from the CARES Act to the 14 TRCS to provide support as they combat COVID-19. The TRCs provide expertise and customized telehealth technical assistance throughout the United States and its territories, while also acting as a clearinghouse for telehealth research, program design and implementation. “As the nation combats COVID-19, telehealth is increasingly instrumental and effective as a tool to provide healthcare for patients across the country, especially the most vulnerable,” said HRSA Administrator Tom Engels. “Providing the TRCs with this additional funding enables them to expand their ability to provide technical assistance to communities in need.” With these new funds, TRCs will be able to provide hands-on technical support in areas such as equipment acquisition, payment policy, system design and licensing and credentialing. |

A New Albany man died in a rollover crash that occurred late Tuesday night along I-65 in Clark County.
Around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday, Indiana State Police (ISP), Clark County Deputies, and local ambulance service responded to a single-vehicle crash with entrapment on I-65 northbound near the 5.2 mile-marker.
When officers arrived, they observed a black, 2010 Ford Fusion rolled onto the driver’s side. The driver was unresponsive.
Trooper Jared Ferguson assumed the investigation and also contacted ISP reconstruction units to assist. The preliminary investigation shows the Fusion was going northbound on I-65 and left the east side of the roadway for an unknown reason. The vehicle traveled down a small embankment and overturned before striking a fence and two semi-trucks parked at the nearby Ryder Truck Sales. The driver, Paul E. Barksdale, 61, of New Albany, Indiana, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Clark County Coroner’s Office. There were no other occupants in the car.
This crash is still under investigation. Next of Kin was notified by the Clark County Coroner’s Office and the Indiana State Police.
ISP units were assisted by the Clark County Sheriff’s Department, The Clarksville Fire Department, The Clarksville Police Department, and the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
As COVID-19 continues to impact communities across the nation and globe, individuals and companies are stepping in to support their local communities. Kimball International and its employees have bee n working together over several weeks to donate their time and resources to support the communities in which we operate, including Salem.
Kimball International has been leveraging its core business of manufacturing healthcare furniture solutions, in addition to using existing talent and resources to manufacture Personal protective equipment (PPE), for those in need.
The company reached out to local hospitals to offer support – and were met with an enthusiastically positive response.
Kimball International employees in Salem rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
They uncrated, unpackaged, unboxed, assembled and delivered a total of 50 of the company’s Mascot mobile bedside tables, along with 50 face shields, to St. Vincent Ascension last week on April 14.
The medical staff was very grateful.
Lonnie Nicholson, Shannon Campbell, and Dave Campbell deliver face shields and tables to St. Vincent Ascension.
And it’s not just medical professionals benefitting from these efforts. The Kimball International-HabigFoundation made a $2,500 donation to the Hoosier Helpers non-profit in Salem to help fund their mission to provide meals to the homebound.
“I am inspired and humbled by these giving stories,” said Lonnie Nicholson, Kimball International’s Chief Human Resources Officer, “because it truly demonstrates our purpose as a company– to be makers of possibility. We are proud to have been a part of helping the Salem community during this time of need.”
A Jeffersonville man has been arrested after theft of items from a vehicle at Charlestown State Park in Clark County.
Aaron Wallen, 47, faces charges of theft, in addition to outstanding arrest warrants, after Indiana Conservation Officers witnessed him stealing items from a parked vehicle near a trailhead at the state park this afternoon.
In response to multiple reports of thefts from unattended parked cars at the state park during the past week, conservation officers and the Clark County Sheriff’s Department set up and observed a “bait” car.
Shortly after 1:30 p.m. a conservation officer observed Wallen open the unlocked door of the car and remove items. After a conservation officer made contact, Wallen fled on foot into the woods but was apprehended shortly thereafter and arrested without incident.
It was later determined that Wallen was on parole and had multiple outstanding felony arrest warrants.
The investigation is still ongoing by DNR Law Enforcement and the Clark County Sheriff’s Department. Anyone with further information concerning this investigation is encouraged to call Indiana Conservation Officers’ Central Dispatch at 812-837-9536 or anonymously call 1-800-TIP-IDNR, or call the Clark County Sheriff’s Department at 812-283-4471.
Indiana Conservation Officers routinely patrol the state’s DNR properties in an effort to ensure their safe use. Citizens are urged to report suspicious or criminal activity by the numbers listed above.
All charges are merely accusations and defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
