In case you missed it: Saint Joseph London received a $40,000 grant from WHAS Crusade for Children, Inc. to help improve infant care within the emergency department. The grant will fund the purchase of Panda iRes warmers, which are critical in providing up-to-date monitoring and treatment for infants needing immediate specialty care. "We see approximately 32,000-33,000 patients a year," said John Yanes, president, Saint Joseph London. "So, certainly, having this equipment further allows us to treat those patients who really need the care."

Are you considering a medical alert system for an aging loved one? August is MedicAlert Awareness Month. Are you wondering if they will wear it or not? Emergency alert devices are useless if they are not worn. It is also a waste of money. Talk through any perceived social stigmas they may attach to alert devices, and let them know that they are simply safety tools that provide more senior independence - not feebleness. Learn more, this Tuesday, on this website we want to share with you. #ADesormier #TuesdayTips #ElderLaw #Caregivers #ElderCare #MedicalAlerts

A great article and a question I ask myself when talking to hospices and looking a different ways. They can invite their community into their hospice. How much do you know about Hospice Care and the great things hospices achieve every day for your community? #hospiceawareness #communityengagement #schools #websitedevelopment
How much do you know about hospice care? 🤔 Paul Madden, our Care Director, explains that at Hospice in the Weald, it's about the individual and what makes a difference to them.🟢 “To me, hospice care is about empowering patients and those important to them at a really critical point in their history. We focus on the patient but also anyone important to them, whether that be family members, friends, or even pets. We look after all of them, and the care and support are free." 💻 Head to our website to find out more about our services: https://lnkd.in/d3wrbhBj

Maybe they should be shipped in any new CT and MR installation. If its an option as any cardiac or mammo package it would be implemented faster than as a different modality or just publicity in awards and news. Jonathan Coupland Not saying it should be free, am saying it should be easier to offer it or implementing it, because the Kitten Scanner have existed since more than 15 years, and yet just a few sites have them installed. As an unasked advice: This should be a mandatory item at installation time for the sake of the little ones, and of course it would be another great differential signature of #philipshealthcare
