Recently, hospitals in the Southwest Missouri area announced they would be resuming elective procedures and visits canceled due to Covid-19 precautions to limit the number of people coming into their buildings.
Some cancer patients were among those who had their appointments canceled. And those visits included procedures, imaging services, other care like physical or mental health therapy.

The American Cancer Society recently released a survey conducted with cancer patients about how their appointments were impacted.

In this Ozarks Tonight, Jenifer Abrey speaks with a Springfield resident, who is a champion of culture and diversity in this community. Saehee Duran is the pastor of Life 360 Intercultural Campus. Originally from South Korea, Saehee has lived in Springfield for eleven years.
"I think it's important when we celebrate Asian Heritage month that we educate our community that Asian is not just Chinese. We have a lot of diversity in the Asian ethnic group. We have Korean, Japanese, Indians, and all of that. And it's beautiful to celebrate this. And we can educate people by sharing life together," she said.
Saehee also added that you don't have to go far to find diversity and opportunities to learn about different cultures.

Artsfest on Walnut didn't happen as planned. but the Springfield Regional Arts Council is still doing something to help promote the arts, support local artists, and meet their annual budget. Artsfest is the largest fundraiser for the nonprofit, and not hosting the weekend event means cutting a massive chunk of the budget out.
Leslie Forrester, the executive director of the Arts Council, says about 18,000 people attend ArtsFest over two days.
"This year, we weren't able to do it," Forrester said. "We were most concerned about the safety of our patrons, our artists, and everyone involved."
This year, ArtsFest is looking a little different; it's online. With Virtual Artsfest, instead of walking around the street, you are browsing the web.
Forrester discusses the financial impact of this change and how the group is still adjusting and supporting the arts locally.

Missourians, and people around the country, might not be getting screened for colorectal cancer because they are afraid they might have to cover some of the costs. Most insurance companies cover colonoscopies for 50 -75 years of age, but the same is not true for those on Medicare, who might have to pay 20 percent of the cost. That is problematic, the American Cancer Society says, because colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable diseases, and more than half of all colorectal cancer patients are Medicare beneficiaries. The American Cancer Society - Cancer Action Network is pushing for legislation that can help cover these costs so that people won't have to avoid a screening simply because of the financial burden.
