Wellness Wednesday 💚 Our event is one of our sponsorship commitments to our community to inspire our community to get out there and get moving. Our Specialty Pharmacy Certified Pharmacy Technician Leanna Burress, and her hubby Robby Burress have participated every year in our 5K!

Wellness is more than a number on a scale or a once-a-year checkup. It’s the small, consistent choices we make to care for our body, mind, and overall well-being.

This week, take a moment to check in with yourself. Have you been drinking enough water? Getting enough rest? Taking your medications as prescribed? Moving your body? Keeping up with preventive care? Making space for your mental health?

You don’t have to change everything overnight. Sometimes better health starts with one simple step: scheduling the appointment you’ve been putting off, taking a walk, asking for help, getting your blood pressure checked, or talking openly with someone about how you’re really doing.

At Hometown Health System, we believe healthcare should support the whole person—not just treat a problem after it happens. From preventive and primary care to behavioral health, pharmacy, specialty services, and care coordination, we are here to help you build a healthier future.

Your health matters. Your story matters. And you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Our staff is so passionate about connecting in the community these photos represents something much bigger than attending an event. It represents why overdose prevention, substance use disorder treatment, harm reduction, recovery, and second chances are critical public-health priorities for Hometown Health System.

Because these aren't just statistics or another Facebook post.

We need to normalize harm reduction. We need to normalize that this impacts every hometown. We need to normalize partnership and discussions instead of who is going to take care or fix "those people" They are someone's daughter. Son. Mother. Father. Sister. Brother. Wife. Husband. Aunt. Uncle. Friend.

They are families. They are hometowns. They are brothers and sisters in Christ.

And substance use disorder can affect generations.

KENTUCKY IS MAKING PROGRESS — BUT OUR WORK IS FAR FROM OVER.

According to the most recent Kentucky Drug Overdose Fatality Report, 1,110 Kentuckians lost their lives to a drug overdose in 2025.

That represents a 22.9% decrease from 2024 and the fourth consecutive year Kentucky has seen overdose deaths decline. It is progress worth recognizing—but 1,110 lives lost means 1,110 families still experienced a phone call, a knock at the door, an empty chair, or a future that changed forever.

In 2025, methamphetamine was identified in 49.5% of Kentucky overdose deaths and fentanyl in 45.4%. Kentucky also distributed more than 182,000 doses of Narcan, demonstrating just how important naloxone access has become in saving lives across our Commonwealth.

And overdose is only one part of the story.

SAMHSA estimates that 17.2% of Kentuckians age 12 and older experienced a substance use disorder in the past year—roughly 1 in every 6 people.

That means nearly every Kentucky community has been touched by this disease.

KNOW THE SIGNS. CARRY NARCAN. YOU COULD SAVE A LIFE.

An opioid overdose may look like someone who cannot be awakened, has very slow or stopped breathing, makes choking, gurgling or unusual snoring sounds, has discolored lips or skin, or has very small “pinpoint” pupils. If you aren't sure whether someone is experiencing an overdose, treat it like an overdose. Naloxone is safe and can reverse an opioid overdose when given in time.

If you suspect an opioid overdose:

Give naloxone/Narcan immediately if available and call 911.
For nasal Narcan, place the device into one nostril and press the plunger firmly. If the person does not respond or begin breathing normally, give another dose with a new device after 2–3 minutes and continue as needed until emergency help arrives.
Keep the person breathing if possible, place them on their side to help prevent choking, and stay with them.
Do not assume they are safe because they wake up. Naloxone can wear off while the opioid is still in the body, so emergency medical evaluation remains important.

Anyone can carry naloxone. You do not have to be a healthcare professional to save someone's life.

Kentucky offers naloxone through pharmacies, local health departments, community organizations and harm-reduction programs. Some locations provide it free of charge, and Kentucky Medicaid covers up to two naloxone kits during a rolling 30-day period.

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE IS STRUGGLING, PLEASE REACH OUT.

You do not have to wait until someone overdoses to ask for help.

If someone is experiencing an overdose or immediate medical emergency, call 911.

For a mental health or substance use crisis, call or text 988. Kentucky's 988 Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year**, and family members can also reach out when they are worried about someone they love.

Kentuckians looking for treatment can also contact the KY HELP Call Center at 833-859-4357 (833-8KY-HELP) for assistance connecting with treatment and recovery resources.

If someone is going to use substances alone, Kentucky's naloxone resources also identify the Never Use Alone hotline: 1-877-696-1996, available 24/7 to help reduce the risk of a fatal overdose.

AND HOMETOWN IS HERE.

Hometown Health System is accepting new patients, and we would be honored to support you or someone you love through their recovery journey.

Our vision goes far beyond writing a prescription.

It is primary care.
Behavioral health.
Psychiatric care.
Medication management.
Substance use disorder treatment.
Pharmacy support.
Care coordination.
Prevention.
Recovery.
And helping people rebuild their health, their families, and their lives.

Because recovery isn't simply about stopping a substance.

It can mean repairing relationships. Rebuilding trust. Finding employment. Reuniting families. Managing physical and mental health. Learning how to live differently. Finding purpose again. And breaking a cycle that may have affected a family for generations.

We believe people deserve healthcare without judgment.

We believe people deserve another opportunity.

We believe recovery is possible.

And we believe that someone's hardest chapter should never be the only chapter the world gets to read.

Thank you, to all our staff your stories and your passion and for representing Hometown and continuing to stand beside individuals and families affected by substance use disorder.

This is why we show up.

This is more than healthcare.
This is more than medication.
This is about people.
This is about families.
This is about saving lives.

THE NUMBERS TELL US THIS STORY IS FAR TOO COMMON.
**CONTENT NOTE: Childhood sexual abuse and trauma**

In Kentucky, 65% of adults reported experiencing at least one Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) growing up.

And 14.7% of Kentucky adults reported experiencing sexual abuse during childhood — nearly 1 in every 7 Kentuckians.

Behind every statistic is a person.

A child who grew up.

An adult who learned how to survive.

And sometimes, a person who carried the effects of what happened to them for years before ever understanding why.

Today, one of our own is choosing to tell her story.

At Hometown Health System, we are incredibly grateful to Cindy Phillips, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, for having the courage to share something deeply personal — not because it is easy to talk about, but because she hopes her vulnerability might help someone else recognize their own pain, seek help, or simply realize they are not alone.

Cindy's Story

For a long time, I didn’t understand how much of what happened to me as a child had shaped the woman I became.

As a teenager, I became promiscuous. Looking back, I realize I was trying to find control over something that had taken control away from me far too young.

I also developed a deep resistance to being told what to do by men. I didn’t want a man controlling me, making decisions for me, or telling me who I was supposed to be.

It took me many years to learn to cope with pain I didn’t know how to process.

As I grew older, I began to heal. I began to understand that what happened to me was not my fault.

I can’t change what happened to that little girl, but I can love her. I can protect her. And I can tell her that she survived.

I am more than what happened to me.

— Cindy Phillips, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Childhood trauma does not always stay in childhood. It can influence relationships, boundaries, self-worth, trust, behavior, mental health, physical health, and the ways a person learns to protect themselves long after the traumatic experience has ended.

Sometimes healing begins simply by understanding the connection. And sometimes it begins when another person has the courage to say:

This happened to me too.

Cindy is sharing her story because there may be someone reading this who has spent years questioning their own behaviors, emotions, relationships, or reactions without understanding where they came from.

There may be someone who has never told anyone.

Someone who still carries shame that never belonged to them.

Or someone who needs to know that what happened during one chapter of their life does not get to write the rest of their story.

You can survive.
You can heal.
You can reclaim your story.
And you are so much more than what happened to you.

Thank you, Cindy, for being willing to turn something incredibly painful into a source of hope for someone else.

At Hometown, we believe the TEST that we face and overcome turn into TESTIMONIES. We believe healthcare is about caring for the whole person — their physical health, mental health, experiences, challenges, and the story that brought them to where they are today.

What is a PBM — and why does it matter to your hometown pharmacy?

Most people have never heard of a PBM until it affects what they pay at the pharmacy counter.
A PBM stands for Pharmacy Benefit Manager. These are the middlemen that work between insurance companies, drug manufacturers, and pharmacies to decide:

* which medications are covered
* what your copay will be
* what pharmacy you can use
* how much your pharmacy gets paid

Here’s the problem: many independent pharmacies are being paid less than what the medication actually costs to fill. That means on many prescriptions, your local pharmacy is losing money just to take care of you.

While big chains and major corporations have more leverage, small hometown pharmacies are often squeezed by a system controlled by insurance companies, PBMs, and large pharmaceutical interests. These monopolies are making it harder for independent pharmacies to survive — even though we are the ones who know our patients by name, deliver personalized care, and serve communities that larger companies often overlook.

When you support your local independent pharmacy, you are supporting:
❤️ personalized care
❤️ local jobs
❤️ better access for rural communities
❤️ pharmacists who advocate for you
❤️ healthcare that stays in your hometown

We believe patients deserve choice, transparency, and affordable access to medications — not a system that puts profits over people.

We are thankful for the support of many local, state, and federal law makers on both sides of the isle that support free enterprise, increased checks and balances, and supporting consumers whom have been impacted by these unlawful practices.

Please support local. Support independent pharmacy. Support hometown care.

We stand alongside many incredible locally owned pharmacy partners, if we aren’t a good choice please support local pharmacies a few great options are North Century, Adair Drug, Columbia Pharmacy, HealthFirst in Greensburg, Eastridge Phelps, CertaCare in Columbia, just to name a few local heroes who are supporting patients right here in the central Kentucky area!

💊 PSA from your Hometown Pharmacy team: We wish we controlled your copay… but we don’t! 😅

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that the pharmacy decides what you pay for your prescription. The truth? When we process your prescription, your insurance company sends us the price — we’re just the messenger (and the button pushers). 😂

But that doesn’t mean we stop there. ❤️

At Hometown Pharmacy, our team will always look for ways to help when we can — whether that means checking manufacturer savings programs, exploring lower-cost options with your provider, or comparing available pricing.

Because to us, you’re more than a prescription number. We know our patients, we advocate for our patients, and we’re always in your corner.

Every prescription. Every patient. Every time. 💙

Connected healthcare is more than where care happens—it’s how we show up for the people and communities we serve. 💙

At Hometown Health System and Hometown Connect, we believe healthcare extends far beyond the walls of a clinic or pharmacy. It looks like serving meals, supporting local events, standing beside community partners, helping neighbors navigate resources, and meeting people exactly where they are.

Every conversation, every partnership, every act of service and every patient interaction helps strengthen the communities we call home.

Because when healthcare is truly connected, we aren’t simply treating a condition—we’re helping build healthier people, stronger families, and more resilient hometowns.

This is what Connected Healthcare looks like:
Care. Community. Partnership. Purpose.

And we’re proud to keep bridging hope and healing—one hometown at a time. 🏡💙

Today, we had the privilege of celebrating 120 years of Campbellsville University—and 120 years of God’s faithfulness. ❤️

When you grow up here, it can be easy to overlook the extraordinary impact right in front of us. Campbellsville University is far more than a university in our hometown. It is a Christ-centered institution whose influence reaches throughout our community, across Kentucky and the nation, and around the world—sharing the Gospel through education, leadership, and service.

At Hometown Health System, our mission is deeply connected to that same foundation: using the platform God has given us to serve others, remove barriers, empower people, and build stronger communities.

Today, four Campbellsville University presidents were honored for the legacies they have helped build: current President Dr. Joseph Hopkins and former presidents Dr. Michael V. Carter, Dr. H. Keith Spears, and Dr. Kenneth W. Winters. At 92 years old, Dr. Winters shared a special video message expressing his heart for this community, the university, and everything it continues to represent.

We were also honored to hear from Kentucky Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Coleman, who received the Leadership Medal of Honor. An educator, former high school teacher and basketball coach, fifth-generation Mercer Countian, and advocate for education and mental health access, she represents the strength of Kentucky’s rural, farming, and small-business families. She also serves as an adjunct professor at CU while pursuing her doctorate in educational leadership at the University of Kentucky.

Her story was a powerful reminder that where we come from does not limit where God can use us. Whether our platform begins on a farm, in a classroom, on a basketball court, inside a small business, or in a small Kentucky hometown, we can use it to face adversity, open doors, and serve and empower others.

Congratulations to Campbellsville University on 120 years of transforming lives. May its next chapter continue carrying the Gospel and the heart of our hometown into communities around the world.

To God be the glory for the things He has done—and for everything still to come. 🙏

He spent roughly a quarter of his adult life incarcerated. Today, he uses those same years to help other people believe their lives are worth rebuilding.

Meet Germaine.

Germaine grew up surrounded by love, with a mother who taught him right from wrong and raised him to know the Lord. But by eleven years old, he was already experimenting with alcohol. By junior high, crack co***ne had entered his life. By high school, alcohol and drugs were taking more and more from him.

A promising future in football disappeared.

Then came addiction.
A robbery.
Incarceration.
Violence.
Homelessness.
Isolation.

For nearly 30 years, one decision seemed to lead to another until Germaine says he eventually became a product of his own choices.

But God was not finished with his story.

In 2017, homeless and exhausted by the life he was living, Germaine reached a place of surrender. An intervention led him to Isaiah House—and that decision changed everything.

He graduated from the program in 2018.

Then he did something the younger version of himself could never have imagined.

He went to college.

Germaine graduated from Campbellsville University with honors in Art and Design, made the Dean’s List, and went on to receive international recognition for his artwork.

Years earlier, while homeless, he would walk into art galleries simply because they gave him somewhere to dream for a few minutes.

One day, he became the artist.

And the story gets even better.

The man whose life had once been shaped by addiction, incarceration and homelessness now stands beside people walking through some of those exact same circumstances.

Today, Germaine is part of our Hometown family, using his lived experience, his creativity, his faith and his compassion to remind others that their worst chapter does not have to become their final one.

Germaine says:

“I don’t share my story because I’m proud of the mistakes I made. I share it because I’ve seen redemption.”

That is what lived experience can do.

It can turn judgment into empathy.
Pain into purpose.
A prison number into a testimony.
Homelessness into compassion.
Broken pieces into something beautiful.

At Hometown, we believe some of the people best equipped to reach the hardest-to-reach are the people who once needed someone to reach for them.

Germaine’s past does not define him.

But God has certainly used it to prepare him.

And somewhere today, there is another person who feels like their life has gone too far off course to ever become something meaningful.

Germaine is proof that it hasn’t.

Your story is not over.

There is still purpose.
There is still hope.
There is still redemption.

And sometimes the very place you thought would destroy you becomes the place from which God builds your greatest testimony. ❤️
