Dr. Saluke takes over Grover medical practice BY ANDIE L. BRYMER Staff Writer ; ; GROVER - For the town’s new doctor, healthcare is a family affair. Dr. Julia Saluke is the physician for the new Grover Family Practice, which is part of Carolina’s Physicians Network: Saluke’s mother is a retired registered nurse and two of her sisters are also physi- cians. Both Saluke’s father and her husband Gregg McIntosh are research chemist though her dad has retired. Saluke did her undergraduate work and attended medical school in Ohio, graduating from Wright State University School of Medicine. She came to Greenville for her residency, studying at East Carolina University and working at Pitt County Memorial Hospital. The Dayton, Ohio native came south for a sister cheer at Belmont Abbey basketball games. “We do a lot of family activities like that,” she said. Saluke says Grover has given her a warm welcome. On January 22 the town council, Grover Area Women's Club and Grover Lions Club held an open house. “I was impressed with how many people showed up,” she said. Saluke said she considers medicine a call- ing in line with the values she grew up with. Her parents, who volunteer at a church food pantry and visit the sick and dying, motivated her to help others. The Grover practice, located at 217 North Main Street, is open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays except for Wednesday afternoons. It is in the same building as Dr. Philip Day's practice. Though it is a different practice, temporary change in scenery, intending to leave after completing her residency. “I ended up liking North Carolina a lot, the people and the weather,” she said. After working in rural health care settings in Faison, Ocracoke and Newton Grove, Saluke realized: small tawiis were for her. “I like being abilé- torivork whare'thergiis ais i: need,” Saluke said. Soon after getting married, Saluke and her husband moved to Gaston County to be near his family.

Additional risks include physical and cognitive impairments created by aging. “More than 1,200 Americans over the age of 65 die as a result of fire annually. Residential fires injure on average 3,000 older adults each year. These are staggering numbers,” said James Ledbetter, KM Fire and Safety coordinator. Ledbetter makes several recommendations.

"Escape routes should be Cleveland HealthCare Systems” CLECO planned and practiced. There should be two exits from every room. Residents should know how to open the windows. Never smoke in bed and never leave smoking materi- als unattended. Do not leave food unat- tended on the stove and do not wear loose clothing while cooking.
