From a Kindred Hospital Patient

I’ve been in hospitals in West Virginia, Texas, Virginia, and New Mexico. Kindred Hospital puts them all to shame when it comes to all the caring personnel. The facilities are fine, but the people are what make the difference. I’m 88 years old, almost blind and crippled. I have never had finer treatment anywhere! – Mildred E.

Joe H.L.

“Thanks for the MIRACLE! My husband, Joe H. L., is going home! The Kindred Hospital SPIRIT provided Joe with the motivation and encouragement that he needed to overcome the catastrophic illness, a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (Triple-A) in record time. My husband is a determined soul and he was allowed to move at the pace that he felt comfortable; consequently, his recovery time has surpassed the predicted three to six months therapy needed to return home. With your help and support, he will leave your hospital in less than three weeks. The administration, social services, nursing staff, speech therapist, and physical therapists, not to mention Dr. Crosland and Jennifer Godfrey have provided the professional care and encouragement that Joe needed to return home to hopefully once again grow the beautiful flowers for which he is known. I personally want to thank Peggy Hawkins for the special support and interest that she has provided for my family and me. She made the dark days brighter with her smile and encouragement. Kindred Hospital is a well-managed hospital that provides for the individual needs of each patient and family. Thank you for everything.”
