Emergency Care Carts for pediatric patients
raise the standard of care and safety to the next level |
| |
| |
|
| Emergency care carts—carts
that house all the necessary medications
and tools for the first critical minutes
of an emergency situation—are standard
protocol. But the colorful emergency care
carts just installed at Upland Hills Health
take pediatric care beyond protocol to the
next level of accuracy and efficiency. |
|
| In general, dealing with pediatric
patients in an emergency situation is more
complex than with an adult patient. Simply
put pediatric patients range in size from
infant to adolescent. As the size of the
child varies so does the dosage of medication,
size of the equipment and supplies needed.
In the split seconds when vital emergency
care is provided Upland Hills Health’s
colorful carts help caregivers to provide
the best care. |

Upland Hills Health offers new therapy
to minimize painful chronic swelling |
| |
| |
|
| Many people suffer with painful
and unsightly swelling of an arm, leg or
other body areas when lymph nodes are impaired
or removed. The lymph fluid doesn’t
flow and tissue becomes swollen and sometimes
hard. Termed lymphedema, this painful condition
increases the chance of infections and limits
a person’s range of motion and even
life style. |

Upland Hills Health receives cuddly soft
donation |
| |
| |
|
| Retirement has kept Grace Hasburgh
busy…but not too busy to think of
others. Recently her love of quilting paid
off for pediatric patients at Upland Hills
Health. With fleecy soft fabric donated by
many, Grace and a friend stitched up a colorful
assortment of cozy soft blankets for little
patients to enjoy and take comfort in. These “mini-quilts” will
be used for pediatric patients that utilize
Upland Hills Health emergency, in-patient
or surgical services. |
|
| “What a wonderful gesture,” stated
Patricia Lawson, Director of Marketing & Community
Relations at Upland Hills Health, “we’re
always looking for ways to enhance the patient
experience—and Grace’s donation
is a perfect example of how little caring
touches can make a big difference.” |
|
| Right:

quilts” she made and donated to Upland
Hills Health for use with their pediatric
patients. |
