For many patients undergoing kidney dialysis, the hours spent in treatment are often long and uncomfortable, particularly when seated for an extended period of time. Through an initiative developed by Trinity Health Foundation and with the generous help of its donors, that reality will change.
By raising $49,500, Trinity Health Foundation will be able to purchase 11 heated recliners for the Kidney Dialysis Unit, providing not only essential care to those in need, but also critical comfort during long treatment sessions. These recliners are not just a luxury, they are a necessity. In addition to providing critical comfort, they also help alleviate anxiety symptoms that arise during treatment, making treatment a more soothing environment while patients receive the care they need.
Kidney dialysis patients often experience symptoms of fatigue, making simple tasks such as walking to and from their cars particularly challenging. To help alleviate some of those symptoms, Trinity Health has enhanced patient accessibility by previously relocating the Kidney Dialysis Unit to a more convenient location on the first floor of the Medical Office Building.
This move reflects Trinity Health’s ongoing commitment to improving patient care. This dedication is further demonstrated through the purchase of these new recliners, which would not be possible without Trinity Health Foundation and their incredible donors.
