“One community, caring together.”
This has been the vision for Headwaters Health Care Centre (HHCC) for the last three years, and most recently the local hospital exemplified it in a co-designed report.
Late last month, HHCC released their annual report, and from the interviews, to the graphic designs, and even printing, the publication was created entirely by volunteer community members.
“It’s impossible to tell the story of what has occurred over the past year, which is what you typically see in an annual report, without incorporating the voices of the people that we support,” said Carla Kostiak, communications specialist for Headwaters. “This report is truly a beautiful mosaic. Its different pieces brought in by different facets of our community, and to see it all together is like looking at a beautiful mosaic.”

Three weeks after 17-year-old Hunter Brittain was shot and killed by Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Michael Davis during a traffic stop near Cabot, the defendant’s lawyer has broken his silence on the case.
Attorney Robert Newcomb, the same lawyer who represented former Little Rock police officer Charles Starks in the shooting death of Bradley Blackshire, told KATV News that he has encouraged Davis to request a grievance hearing to be reinstated as a deputy.
Davis was fired by Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley about a week after the teen’s death because he didn’t turn his body camera on until after the shooting occurred. But Newcomb says the officer thought he had it turned on and should have never been fired.
