Lori Dove, vice president and chief executive officer of Southeastern Health, said restrictions continue on at WoodHaven for the protection of patients and staff.
“Ongoing efforts to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks at WoodHaven Nursing, Alzheimer’s and Rehabilitation Center in Southeastern Health come with uninterrupted stops with daily restrictions and reviews of each staff member, adding temperature controls,” Dove said. “In addition, citizens returning to the facility after being hospitalized for any explanation of why they are placed in a designated unit in a personal room for 14 days and will have to go through negative COVID-19 control before returning to their housing unit.”
Fairmont’s Greenbrier remains in normal communication with the county fitness branch and continues to monitor federal, state, and county resources to help provide the safest environment for patients, said Amy Cavalier, Director of Communications at DePaul, which manages Greenbrier.
“Through close collaboration with the Robeson County Health Service, as well as the commitment of our citizens and their families, Greenbrier has noticed relief in the number of COVID-19 cases in recent months,” Cavalier told me. “With many unknowns, it is imperative that we remain vigilant to mitigate the spread of the virus.”
Calls were returned to Glenflora for data and feedback.

PARKTON – For the first time in 63 years of operation, Parkton Fire and Rescue has members who are paid.
The department, established in 1957, recently hired six part-time firefighters to help the day the volunteers’s reaction time is reduced, said Chris Nowak, Parkton’s fire and rescue chief.
Firefighters David Arthur, Timothy Davis, Kimberly Flowers, Kevin Hagerman, Robert Pate and Brian Volkman are hired.
The branch has lately 32 volunteers on its list. The addition of six paid chimneys raises the list to 38. Hiring the new chimneys classifies the fireplace and rescue unit as a “mixed” service, the branch now has race fireplaces and volunteers.
“Since the creation of the branch in 1957, it’s a hundred percent volunteer,” Nowak said.
There are now more lifeguards on deck to help with the workload, and the station can provide service from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or nine to five in the afternoon, with two firefighters in line with the shift, the leader said.
“These hours covered through our two paid people at least ensure that the branch will bring a truck to the site so that two other people can start work, then our self-help service can come and update it and all the volunteers that will be available. those hours will also be in the site scene,” Nowak said.
The control department “knew for some time” that I had to do anything with the staff that was taken on site.
“During daylight hours when most of us worked, we had trouble answering calls,” Nowak said. “He’s smart for anyone.”
The branch acquired an additional budget for rental assistance by asking county commissioners to increase the chimney site tax rate in the Piney Forest Fire District, the district where the unit is located, from 10 cents consistent with one hundred cents to 15 cents. 100 percent in 2018 when county principals were preparing the annual budget for Robeson County. The new fee means that for every $hundred of the land value, district owners now pay 15 cents a year for the protection of the place from the chimneys.
“This additional budget has allowed us to take this into account,” Nowak said.
Robeson County Board of Commissioners Lance Herndon, a chimney district representative, said it was a developing trend for fires in rural areas in North Carolina and across the country.
“The rural population continues to grow and desires increase,” Herndon said. “It’s exciting to hear that they’ve raised those funds.”
Jeff Martin, chairman of the Board of Governors of Parkton Fire and Rescue, said it took time and the department’s continued growth.
When it was founded, the unit was only a branch rather than a fireplace. The branch has become a chimney and rescue unit in 2012.
“When an emergency occurs, I feel more confident knowing that we have two members in this era who are available and able to respond,” Martin said. “It’s something we’ve been running on for a long time.
“I think it’s a huge improvement.”
We thank Nowak, board members, county commissioners, and Piney Forest Fire district taxpayers for helping make possible new hires, he said.
“Everyone deserves a round of applause, ” said Martin. “Without them, none of this would have been achieved.”
