NOTICE: 3.19.20—While an Screven County person has tested positive for COVID-19, that person was NOT tested at, and is NOT a patient of, Screven Health System.
NOTICE: 3.20.20— COVID-19 Updates: Gov. Kemp, DPH & GEMA Prioritize Testing for Most Vulnerable, First Responders, Health Workers.
A Message From Our CEO
Concern over coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, is flooding emergency rooms, including the ER at Screven Health System.
Please understand that hospital emergency rooms are not designated testing locations. The tests we do have are prioritized for the most at-risk patients, first responders, healthcare workers, and law enforcement, based on guidelines issued by Governor Brian P. Kemp, the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH), and the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA). (Read the full article.)
Per their joint statement, “Many Georgians are eager to be tested right now, but we need to be mindful of our resources. We have to be in this fight together.”
Most of the patients requesting COVID-19 testing do not meet that criteria and are preventing us from addressing patients who require immediate emergency care.
For most otherwise healthy individuals, self-quarantine at home is advised. Unless you are experiencing severe symptoms, including fever, cough, and shortness of breath, that should be sufficient until you are fully recovered.
We ask local residents to follow this advice so that we can continue to treat other critical healthcare emergencies that might impact you, your family and others in our community.
Respectfully,
Dr. Fran Witt, CEO, Sylvania Health System

"I just couldn't take it anymore, and unleashed my forces at the person who was irritating me. I had no idea the energy of my rage could cause such destruction," says Anna. Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs. "There are a lot of people and things I could have eradicated from my life in this way."

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
