St. Charles Volunteers Patient Visitation Program
|
Along the same lines as the candy stripers of days gone by, St. Charles Bend launched a Patient Visitation Program trial this spring. Utilizing 10 volunteers, a cart with donated items from a St. Charles caregiver and in cooperation with the 4th and 5th floor managers, volunteers began visiting patients.
Giving out entertainment items like magazines, puzzle books and more, the program was a resounding success among staff, patients and volunteers. The program was so well-received that it is now available on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th floors and is scheduled to expand into the ICU.

St. Charles gives a grant to innovative wellness program Crook County on the Move
|
Did you know that only 10 percent of the factors that influence health are attributed to health care? The most important factor for health is behavioral – smoking, exercising and a healthy diet. One way that St. Charles supports healthy behaviors is by supporting Crook County on the Move, a grassroots organization of Crook County residents and influencers who “make the healthy choice the easy and fun choice.”
