Raising Funds for Diabetic Alert Dog

A benefit dinner to raise funds for a diabetic alert dog for Morrison Hooley will be held from 4:30-9 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2, at The Revery, 299 W. Main St., Greenwood.

Morrison, who will celebrate his third birthday at the dinner, was diagnosed with Type I diabetes in January. His tiny fingers are poked up to 12 times daily to test his blood, and he receives four to six injections of insulin every day.

Although Morrison’s diet is closely monitored, other factors affect his blood glucose levels, including stress, emotions, sickness and how active he is. Since his numbers can drop to dangerous levels with no warning, alarms are set to check his levels throughout the night.

This is where a diabetic alert dog comes into play. It is trained to alert to highs and lows and is often more reliable and accurate than technology, said Melissa Sherman, Morrison’s mom.

All proceeds from the dinner will be donated to Morrison’s cause. Donations may be made online at www.gofundme.com/morrisonsalertdog. Info: 317-413-1467 or melissasherman@gmail.com.

 The Indiana Hospital Association has named Robert J. Brody as the recipient of its Distinguished Service Award.
Brody, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Franciscan Alliance, was honored for his contributions to the hospital, its patients, the community and the healthcare profession.

His associates say he has forged a long career focused on discovering innovative ways to deliver stellar and accessible healthcare to patients while building enduring relationships with the many communities served by the alliance. 

Brody, who served as president and CEO of Franciscan Health’s hospitals in Indianapolis, Mooresville and Carmel from 1996-2015, has been at the forefront on many progressive and sometimes thorny issues in the ever-changing arena of the healthcare industry.

“Bob has been a great friend, coach and mentor to me for many years,” said Dr. James Callaghan, president and CEO of Franciscan Health Central Indiana. “He is an outstanding advocate for our patients and communities and has led the way in improving the quality of care and patient satisfaction. Bob is a leader and an innovator, and all of health care is better for it.”

Brody was recognized during the association’s annual meeting Oct. 6 in Downtown.
