Councilwoman Holton Stewart in partnership with Mr. Josh Tewsley proudly supports Gastroparesis Awareness Warriors!
In support of August being Gastroparesis Month CW Holton Stewart issued the following Proclamation:
Proclamation:
To all whom these letters shall come, Greetings: Know ye, that the Louisville Metro Council hereby Proclaims: August 2021 as Gastroparesis Awareness Month.
WHEREAS, Gastroparesis, also known as delayed gastric emptying, is delayed stomach emptying in the absence of any observable obstruction or blockage; and
WHEREAS, Gastroparesis has a host of debilitating and life altering symptoms which include: retching, stomach fullness after a normal sized meal, early fullness (satiety) or the inability to finish a meal, bloating, as well as stomach discomfort or pain, chronic nausea and vomiting, malnutrition, dehydration, weight loss and/or weight gain; and
WHEREAS, Gastroparesis generally affects 5% of the population and isn’t widely known; and
WHEREAS, Gastroparesis currently has no known cure along with limited treatment options; and
WHEREAS, August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month, during which advocates and research groups alike work to focus attention on important health messages about Gastroparesis diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life issues with the goal of improving understanding of Gastroparesis to help patients and families manage the condition, and encourage preventative strategies.
Now, Therefore, in the absence of adequate awareness, research and understanding, the Legislative Council of the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government Proclaims August as Gastroparesis Awareness Month and urge all citizens, groups and physicians to educate themselves on this disease so that collectively, we can work towards a cure and better understanding.
Louisville is making additional funding available for its COVID-19 Utility Relief Program, starting with $2.5 million to help residents who have fallen behind on Louisville Gas and Electric Company (LG&E) bills as a result of COVID-19.
The funds are designed to assist residents with a past-due amount on an active LG&E account. The outstanding balance must have occurred since March 16, 2020, and customers will need to attest they have had a financial hardship during the pandemic.
Customers with outstanding balances could receive a one-time credit for up to $1,000 on LG&E bills.
An additional $2.5 million will be shared with Louisville Water Co. in the coming weeks; details on that spending are not yet finalized.
Funding for the Utility Relief Program comes from the first round of American Rescue Plan Local Fiscal Recovery funds (ARP), which have been approved to address the city’s most urgent needs. The LG&E funds will be distributed by the city’s Office of Resilience and Community Services (RCS) via the Neighborhood Place network.
Schedule a drop off appointment in advance at one of four Neighborhood Place Drop Boxes. Appointments can be scheduled by phone by calling 502-977-6636 or online at LGEHelp.itfrontdesk.com.

Eligible households can apply for one or both components. Households must meet eligibility requirements, with a household income at or below 150% of the Kentucky median income.
