David Ortiz picked out toys and other gifts for his daughter from Emergency Aid of Boulder City’s Angel Tree program Saturday. Toys, books, hats and bikes were donated by groups and residents from the Boulder City community for those in need this holiday season.

Every year, for the past 16 years, Emergency Aid of Boulder City has sponsored the Angel Tree gift program, which, with the help of dozens of volunteers and the community, gets toys and gifts to families in need in Boulder City.

Christmas dinner open to everyone

When I first became principal of Martha P. King Elementary School, parent involvement through our Parent Advisory Council, or PAC, was small but full of potential.

What is a critical access hospital?

According to the Rural Health Information Hub, a Critical Access Hospital (CAH) is a designation given to eligible rural hospitals who meet certain criteria. This designation was created by Congress via the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 due to the closures of over 400 rural hospitals during the 1980s through the early 1990s. The CAH designation was designed to improve health care access to Americans living in rural areas as well as provided financial stability to the facilities that serve these communities.
