PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) \u2014 The handlers of Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, say the furry rodent has “predicted” six more weeks of winter after seeing his shadow.<\/p>\n
Members of Punxsutawney Phil’s top hat-wearing inner circle revealed their “forecast” at sunrise Thursday.<\/p>\n
The festivities have their origin in a German legend that says if a furry rodent casts a shadow on Feb. 2, winter continues. If not, spring comes early.<\/p>\n
In reality, Phil’s prediction is decided ahead of time by the group on Gobbler’s Knob, a tiny hill just outside Punxsutawney. That’s about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
Records dating to 1887 show Phil has now predicted more winter 103 times while forecasting an early spring just 18 times \u2014 including last year. There are no records for the remaining years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The pure oxygen fills the blood and helps repair tissues. HBOT helps patients suffering from chronic wounds, diabetic wounds, burns and infections.<\/p>\n Randy Perkins, FNP for JRMC\u2019s Wound Center\u00a0 says, \u201cThe need for chronic wound care is growing. \u00a0Caring for wounds that won\u2019t heal is costly for patients and insurance programs.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the National Institute of Health, chronic wounds affect more than 6.5 million patients in the U.S. each year. Those individuals and their insurance providers spend more than $25 billion on treatment. Operating part-time only, JRMC\u2019s Wound Center helped over 300 people in 2016.With the national and local demand for wound care growing, JRMC increased its staff to meet the demand and expects patient numbers to grow in 2017 as the available therapies expand.<\/p>\n HBOT therapy is useful for conditions including: bone infections, ulcers, anemia and gangrene.<\/p>\n Amanda Lausch, FNP at the JRMC Wound Center, adds, “People with diabetes and vascular disease struggle with circulation to the lower extremities.\u00a0 HBOT is an option for them \u2013 an option that may save their limb from amputation. That makes a huge impact on a person\u2019s quality of life.\u201d<\/p>\n JRMC is also developing treatment options for injuries like carbon monoxide poisoning and chemotherapy radiation burns.\u00a0 Lausch says, \u201cHBOT is a common form of therapy for firefighters, coal miners and cancer patients.\u201d<\/p>\n Candidates for HBOT have tried other therapies without satisfactory results. Unfortunately, HBOT is often seen as a last-resort and shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n She adds, \u201cSome wounds won\u2019t heal even after three or four years.\u00a0 Without appropriate care at a Wound Center, they may never heal.”<\/p>\n After North Dakota, the nearest places to receive HBOT are Montana, Minnesota and South Dakota. In addition to geography, another barrier to care is insurance. Medicaid, Medicare and insurance companies cover HBOT in most cases, but it can still be a barrier for some patients. Patients interested in HBOT should contact the wound clinic at (701) 952- 4878.<\/p>\n
