Did you know that Annie Jeffrey Memorial County Health Center has a Bone Density Scanner, which is designed to measure bone mineral density allowing technicians the ability to recognize the early stages of osteoporosis, and other diseases that weaken the bones? Osteoporosis, when not treated, can lead to a greater risk for bone fractures, bone pain and/or a stooped posture. There are several different treatments for osteoporosis, including a variety of medications.
Patients who are at risk for getting osteoporosis have the ability to have the bone density scan done yearly at the hospital. The screening helps protect our patients with early detection of this debilitating disease.
It is reassuring to know that specialized medical care for your family is available right here in Polk County.
Nebraska farmers can lower their taxes by donating grain directly to their favorite charity and experience significant income tax savings. Donating grain directly to the charity eliminates the need to claim a charitable contribution as an itemized deduction. Instead, the donated grain is put in the charity name and is excluded from farm income. A lower income means less revenue subject to income tax.
Now is a good time to talk to your tax advisor before the year ends.
