Wake Up Tri-Counties with OSF HealthCare Samantha Rux joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the Gift of Hope flag-raising, tissue and organ donation, May health designations, and podiatry services at OSF Healthcare. OSF Healthcare hosted its annual Gift of Hope flag-raising ceremony on April 28th at 2:30 PM, honoring organ, tissue, and eye donors and their families. The event emphasizes the power of donation—one person can save multiple lives—and encourages listeners to discuss donation wishes with loved ones and consider registering. May features various health awareness celebrations, including Nurses Week, Hospital Week, and Mental Health Awareness Month, with activities and food trucks planned. April is National Foot Health Awareness Month. OSF reminds everyone to care for their feet, consult providers before attempting at-home callus treatments, and seek out local podiatry services if needed.
