Reid Hospital officials saw a need in the community this week and filled it.

Through the hospital's Reid Community Benefit Grant Program, officials donated $48,500 to Achieva Resources for its Adult Guardianship Program.
The money, said Achieva director Dan Stewart, will be used to help the program hire a part-time driver, to send three staff members to guardianship certification training, to update computer equipment and to develop a guardianship resource library.
Mostly, it will help keep the program alive.
"You don't know what this money means to us," Stewart told Reid officials during a ceremony Thursday at Achieva. "We need it to survive."
Stewart said his agency has identified 650 people living in Wayne County who need guardianship services for health care and assistance with their finances.
"Achieva has three goals for our program," he said. "We want all of the individuals in our guardianship program to live in a safe place, receive quality health care and support, and most of all, to be happy."
The guardianship program is built on grants, including one from the Indiana Supreme Court for $38,500 that requires support from county government for the three counties it serves.
