WJAR-TV, WPRI-TV, and ABC6 News covered: Kent Hospital recently surprised longtime volunteer, 94-year-old Al Stanford. Al has volunteered in the infusion center for years, providing comfort and conversation to patients along with a few laughs at his “famous” jokes. Retired Foster, RI Police Chief John Murray met Al while accompanying his wife to her chemo treatments every week. They quickly formed a friendship and Al became a supportive figure for Chief Murray and his wife. The Chief was so appreciative of Al that he wrote a letter of gratitude and wanted to recognize him in a meaningful way. Chief Murray, his wife Elaine, and Al’s family surprised Al during his shift and Chief Murray pinned Al’s hospital lanyard with a star that he wore on his police uniform collar as chief.

Kent Hospital at Home (HaH) provides patients who require inpatient care the ability to receive the same quality and intensity of treatment that they would get at the hospital in the comfort of their own home. Patients who meet eligibility requirements will be cared for at home by Kent Hospital at Home nurses and doctors and will have access to a range of hospital services such as IV medications, oxygen, diagnostic imaging, physical therapy, social work, and specialist consults. Patients receive a minimum of two nursing visits and one physician visit per day, almost always in person, with tele-health options available when necessary. Patients are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via a non-invasive and lightweight bio-patch worn by the patient and they can communicate with their nurse or doctor at any time of day or night.

The goal of this campaign is to increase the unique opportunities that Kent Hospital can provide to patients, with a hands-on, personalized approach as well as new, non-invasive, non-prescription options to pain management unique to this region.
