ALTON - Kevin Woods, shown above, center, of ICU, is Alton Memorial Hospital’s November Employee of the Month. Kevin received the award on Nov. 8 from Annette McCauley, manager of ICU, and AMH President Dave Braasch. According to the nomination, “Kevin is the definition of excellence. Not only is the care he provides as a bedside and charge nurse excellent, but his interactions with families are also some of the best I’ve witnessed. Everything from simple family updates to end-of-life discussions are handled with care and compassion. "He never complains about the amount of work he must do. He simply does the work and makes sure the patient and family are put first. One family recently said that ‘Kevin is everything a nurse is supposed to be,’ and I couldn’t agree more.”

EDWARDSVILLE – The Edwardsville American Legion Post #199 is once again hosting its annual Veterans Day Parade through the streets of downtown Edwardsville to honor all those who served in the military. The Veterans Day Parade will begin at 7 p.m. on Friday, November 11, the official federal holiday. The long-standing event will follow a slightly different route than it has in previous years, which also will change the areas where spectators can view the parade. Parade participants will set up in the parking lot in front of Eden Church of Edwardsville, near the intersection of North Main Street and West Fourth Street. That’s also the starting point for the parade. The parade route then continues south on North Main Street, turning onto St. Louis Street just past the Madison County Courthouse.
