ASHLAND — Hospice of North Central Ohio (HNCO) recently received a grant from the Samaritan Hospital Foundation for $1,800 for the purchase of nurses’ trunk kits.
These kits will be used by HNCO nurses to provide immediate access to medical supplies as they treat patients in their homes. Currently, the nurses travel back to the main office in Ashland for necessary patient supplies. These kits will improve efficiency in patient care and save the non-profit agency hundreds of dollars in travel and time expenses.
Chief Clinical Officer Rachel Winegardner said, “I am so thankful to the Samaritan Hospital Foundation for their generous donation of nurses’ trunk kits.
“The kits will allow our nurses to maintain their supplies in a clean, organized fashion. Our patient care will be even more efficient because necessary supplies will be at the nurses’ fingertips.”
Hospice of North Central Ohio continues to serve families in Ashland, Crawford, Huron, Knox, Morrow and Richland counties with palliative, hospice and bereavement care. For more information, call 800-952.2207.
