MOSCOW, ID - The Gritman Medical Center Board of Directors recently approved a partnership with Family Promise of the Palouse to rent space in the Martin Wellness Center to the non-profit organization.

A 16-year-old Asotin boy who received a heart transplant on February 14th of last year has returned home. Paul Nagle was born with a severe heart defect known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, which according to his mother, Duree Nagle, means he was basically born with half a heart. Paul had three open-heart surgeries before he was three-years-old.

In 2011, the family relocated to Seattle to be near doctors. Paul was listed on the national donor site on July 18, 2011, and received the new heart on Valentine's Day last year. He spent 1-1/2 months in the hospital because he had rejection which was severe enough to require treatment with chemotherapy, Nagle says.

The popular Dirty Dash opened registration today for the 2013 “race” to be held at Riverside State Park on July 13.

Loyalty registration, which runs until Jan. 30, costs only $35. After that the price to sign up steadily rises the closer we get to the event.

“Resolve to make 2013 your dirtiest yet and we guarantee to make that happen for you in one unforgettable morning of feasting on filth, groveling through grime, delighting in dirt, and wallowing in mud rather than self-pity,” a news release from Dirty Dash said.
