BRENDEN
PEDIATRIC ORTHOPEDIC PATIENT
There’s no place
like home for Kansans. However, when an accident requiring
hospitalization happens, there’s no place like Labette
Health during recovery. Their highly trained professional
staff members excel at alleviating patient anxiety and making
each one feel safe and secure while undergoing treatment.
Sometimes it’s not an easy task, like when trying to
keep a four year old with a broken leg down -- yet happy – for
more than two weeks! But the Labette Health staff takes these
kinds of challenges to heart on a daily basis.
“I don’t think Brenden would have
healed up like he did without the exceptional care he received
from the nursing staff on three north. He was only four years
old at the time and it was very traumatic to say the least! The
nurses worked very well with him to make him feel safe -- and
that everything was going to be okay,” Brenden’s
mom, Margaret, recounted.
The key – dedicated, caring people. “The
staff kept his spirits up for the 17 days he was there. The Food
and Nutrition Department always made sure he got what he wanted
for his meals. They even got him a birthday present! I don’t
know of any other hospital that would do that,” she said. “I
stayed with him – I was always made to feel ‘at home’.
Anything I needed the staff was always more than willing to get
for me. They really brightened the experience of Brenden’s
unfortunate accident.” |
