The hospital's name has since changed to Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center, but there's one thing that hasn't changed. Brinkley still is working at the place that has been a second home to her for 50 years.

Louanna Arnett had been looking forward to retirement when a family tragedy suddenly altered her plans. Instead of spending her golden years doting on her two young granddaughters, she became their mother. Instead of living out her life in her beloved Eastern Kentucky mountains, she has been trying to mold the lives of two young girls in a city a 2 1/2-hour car drive and a different culture away. Arnett made these major changes in her life because of a request made by her daughter at the end of hers.
