Wound care clinic opens

OSF Sacred Heart Medical Center has opened a new wound care clinic on the ground floor of the Danville hospital.

Wound care clinics address chronic non-healing wounds.

The number of people in the U.S. affected by non-healing wounds has been growing due to a growing population of older adults and increases in the rates of such conditions as diabetes, obesity and late effects of radiation therapy, according to OSF.

OSF said it's partnering with Healogics, a network of nearly 600 wound care centers, on the Danville clinic and will be using that company's newest technologies.

New charging stations

Construction underway on one side of the parking lot at County Market, 2901 W. Kirby Ave., C will add a dozen Tesla charging stations.

Gerry Kettler, spokesman for Quincy-based Niemann Foods, the company that owns County Market grocery stores, said the charging stations are set to open early this summer.
