Following CDC Guidance, Local Hospital Systems Continue To Require Masking Inside Facilities Wednesday, May 19, 2021
To best protect the health of patients and employees and to further minimize the spread of COVID-19 in the community, five local hospital systems in the Chattanooga area will continue to require masking in their facilities for all visitors and employees of the health systems.

Everything seems to be blooming as we enjoy our monthly ‘Walk in the Garden’ but I can’t remember when an April Fool’s Day has been this wet. In just two days last week we got 7.6 inches of rainfall, which means in the first three months of the year we’re about five inches over normal. But before you whine, there is this: two-thirds of the United States is abnormally dry or worse. Every state west of the Mississippi is thirsty and in the Southwest, a devastating mega drought has taken root and is worsening. This is a serious problem, and 75 million Americans pray for rain every morning and every night.
Work Getting Underway On Major Road Project At 3rd, 4th Streets Friday, March 12, 2021
Work is set to get underway on a major road project along Third and Fourth streets and Riverfront Parkway with $2 million in utility relocation.
The city is to provide $1 million of the work and EPB will cover the other $1 million.
The overall project, which will include the lowering of Riverfront Parkway to grade level in some locations as well as new connections to the parkway, was earlier estimated at $17 million.
The utility relocation is due to take about a year. There will be a new duct bank starting along Third Street. The new path will start just north of Third Street at an existing EPB manhole along Siskin Drive to Third Street then along Fourth Street west to an existing EPB manhole near UTC. The new route is approximately 1,100 feet.

It is with a thrill we get to open ‘This Week’s Saturday Funnies’ with some great news. Those of us who adore Siskin Hospital have worried for months that Tuesday’s glorious Possibilities Luncheon might be a long reach. Since the COVID pandemic forced this week’s annual fundraiser into virtual mode, there was an acknowledged threat that donation might fall short.
The early-spring fundraiser annually generates “at cost” funding to hundreds of those in the Chattanooga area who cannot afford insurance, and is for those who cannot pay for out-patient therapy. Every penny raised by the luncheon makes for “possibilities,” don’t you see, for adults and children alike.
