Seasonal staffing challenges cause mammogram cancellations at N.B. hospital
Some patients at the Charlotte County Hospital have recently had their mammography appointments changed. In a statement sent to CTV Atlantic Horizon Health Network Vice-President of Quality, Patient Experience and Professional Services Jeff Carter says some patients have had their appointments for breast screening rescheduled due to seasonal staffing challenges. 'We know that timely access to breast screening is important, and we acknowledge the frustration that comes with delayed or cancelled appointments,' Carter says in a statement. 'Horizon remains fully committed to supporting early detection and treatment by ensuring patients have access to high-quality screening services, as close to home as possible.' The hospitals medical imaging department is currently booking mammography appointments in October according to Carter. When fully staffed, the Charlotte County Hospital are typically available for breast screening appointments two to three days a week. Carter admits there is one vacancy at the hospital for a medical radiation technologist that the health agency is looking to fill but are otherwise fully staffed. Pre-approved summer vacations for staff are part of the reason for the appointment issues. 'We are grateful to the community for their patience and understanding as we work to improve access to these critical services and enhance the overall experience for all patients accessing breast screening and other services at the Charlotte County Hospital,' says Carter. When asked about the situation Thursday by reporters, New Brunswick's Health Minister John Dornan says his department is working with the health agency to fill the vacancy and return regular service to the hospital. He says they cannot control when staff leave their roles for 'greener fields' or any other reason why people decide to find a new job. 'That's an aspect of our health care system that we don't have people sitting around doing nothing waiting to fill a job,' says Dornan, 'When somebody leaves we work hard to replace them as soon as possible.' Neither Dornan or Horizon was able to say when regular breast screening procedures will return to the hospital. Charlotte County Hospital The Charlotte County Hospital is pictured on June 27, 2025.

Daywatch: ICE begins long-promised immigration blitz in Chicago
Good morning, Chicago. It was around 8 a.m. Sunday when a family friend called Maria to ask why her husband of nearly 10 years hadn't shown up for work. Minutes later, with federal immigration agents banging on the front door of her apartment in Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood, she had an answer. Maria's husband was one of an as-yet-unknown number of people taken into custody Sunday morning in what appeared to be the opening salvo in the long-promised — and much-feared — federal immigration blitz on Chicago. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Jeff Carter issued a statement Sunday saying that ICE and partner federal agencies 'began conducting enhanced targeted operations today in Chicago to enforce U.S. immigration law and preserve public safety and national security by keeping potentially dangerous (criminals) out of our communities.' ICE announced it had arrested 1,000 people nationwide Sunday, but a spokesperson declined to say how many were from the Chicago area. Last year, the Biden administration averaged about 310 immigration arrests per day. Chicagoans and advocates for undocumented immigrants reported at least a half-dozen ICE sightings across the city and suburbs Sunday. Read the full story from the Tribune's Laura Rodríguez Presa, Nell Salzman, Adriana Pérez, Caroline Kubzansky and Jonathan Bullington. Here are the top stories you need to know to start your day. Today's eNewspaper edition | Subscribe to more newsletters | Asking Eric | Horoscopes | Puzzles & Games | Today in History Although no widespread immigration raids were reported here this week, the possibility — and reports that Chicago would be ground zero for enforcement — kept many of the region's estimated 400,000 undocumented immigrants at home. Chicago immigrant advocacy groups sue ICE following week of tensions Northwest Indiana police departments not called to help with deportations A lawyer for former House Speaker Michael Madigan is scheduled to continue his final pitch to the jury today by attacking allegations of a ComEd bribery scheme as well as the FBI mole at the center of the landmark case: ex-Ald. Daniel Solis. The text from Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson started as his messages often do. 'Yo!' he wrote Ald. Daniel La Spata, 1st, last month. The Northwest Side alderman knew what it meant. 'That's when I called him,' he remembered. A Tribune review of Johnson's text messages show many politicos have gotten similar messages and read between those two letters themselves. The CIA now believes the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic most likely originated from a laboratory, according to an assessment that points the finger at China even while acknowledging that the spy agency has 'low confidence' in its own conclusion.

The five-bedroom, 3,283-square-foot bungalow in Oak Park that onetime Chicago Outfit chief Sam Giancana owned — and the home in whose basement Giancana was slain in a 1975 crime that never has been solved — sold on Jan. 22 for $900,000.

Cubs acquire veteran reliever Ryan Pressly from the Houston Astros When Jerry Reinsdorf stood in the balcony at the Ramova Theatre overlooking SoxFest Live, you couldn't help but think of Statler and Waldorf, the elderly Muppets characters who heckled Kermit the Frog from a similar, overhanging balcony box. The only difference was the heckling wasn't coming from the White Sox chairman. It was aimed directly at Reinsdorf, as a few angry Sox fans chanted 'Sell the team.' This definitely was not part of the revamped program at the small Bridgeport venue, but it made the Ramova feel like home, writes Paul Sullivan. White Sox takeaways: Colson Montgomery is focused on opportunities ahead this spring at shortstop Column: Mark Buehrle was a one-of-a-kind pitcher for the White Sox — and enjoyed a few beers on an epic ride Tribune film critic Michael Phillips writes that the movies have long exploited a select handful of go-to professions for stories of obsessive creatives, creating. Sometimes it's a real-life singer-songwriter, blowin' in the wind from the recent past, a la 'A Complete Unknown.' Or a real-life theoretical physicist who risks destroying the world in order to end a war, aka 'Oppenheimer.' Lately it's architects. On Thursday, after an existential crisis and a hiatus of close to two years, Chicago's famous Lookingglass Theatre Company officially returns to public performances in its Michigan Avenue theater in the city-owned Water Tower Pumping Station. A new restaurant on the South Side of Chicago explores the cuisine of the African diaspora. Mahari held its grand opening in Hyde Park on Jan. 17. Executive chef and owner Rahim Muhammad describes his menu as a 'Creole take on African Caribbean and Latin food.'
