Teresa Perry received an award for her work in the nursing care profession. The award was given by the Kentucky Association of Health Care Facilities. Perry is the activity director at Harborside Healthcare - Owenton Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.

Teresa Perry, activity director at Harborside Healthcare-Owenton Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, received the 2006 Facility Statewide Activities award at the Kentucky Association of Health Care Facilities (KAHCF) annual awards banquet Nov. 9. KAHCF, the trade association that represents proprietary and non proprietary long-term care facilities throughout the commonwealth, presented over 40 awards at the banquet at the Galt House East Hotel in Louisville. Perry’s award recognizes her strong commitment to both the nursing home profession and quality care at Harborside Healthcare.
Administrator Gail Lawrence said, “It is people like Teresa who truly make a difference. We are proud to have her as a member of our staff.” Five district activities awards were presented to individuals who have demonstrated an outstanding level of professionalism in the field. Perry also received the Northern Bluegrass District Activities award.
“Our long-term care profession is fortunate to have professionals like Teresa take such a personal interest in the welfare of our residents,” said KAHCF chairman of the board Teresa Kiskaden. “The staff and administration of Harborside Healthcare join KAHCF in saluting her dedication and concern for quality care.”

Jean Ellen Hiter, Regent of the Susannah Hart Shelby Chapter of the DAR in Frankfort poses with “Miss Molly.”

Jean Ellen Hiter, Regent of the Susannah Hart Shelby Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, gave a presentation about Miss Mary DeSha, who was one of the four founders of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in 1890. Miss DeSha was a native Kentuckian who taught school in Lexington and in Alaska. During the Spanish-American War she was instrumental in organizing and training nurses to serve in the Army and Navy, the present day Army Nurse Corps.
She held multiple DAR offices in the state and national societies. The Kentucky Junior DAR is asking each DAR chapter in Kentucky to help sew or purchase outfits for a doll named “Miss Molly” in honor of Miss Mary DeSha, whose nickname was Molly. “Miss Molly” will be raffled off at the National DAR Congress in 2007. All proceeds will go to support the Kate Duncan Smith DAR School and the Tamassee DAR School.
