COVID-19 has devastating impact on Franklin County family

What William Roemer and his family have gone through since the COVID-19 virus began showing up in the area has removed all doubt for them about just how real, how tragic and how serious is this infection. "It's real," says Roemer's daughter, Rose Boggs. "And you better pray to God you never get it." Their family was devastated by the outbreak that began in Franklin County in March.

Cancer patient among first in U.S. to receive new treatment

When John Straszheim and his family were told by an Ohio health care system that all options were exhausted for treating his cancer, he was given three months to a year to live. The Preble County, Ohio, family had begun thinking about hospice. But a decision to go to the nearby Reid Health Cancer Center for any remaining care proved life-saving -- thanks to what the family sees as a “miraculous” series of circumstances resulting in Straszheim becoming one of the first patients in the United States to be treated with a new immunotherapy shortly after it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
