- We are thrilled, but not surprised, by this outpouring of community investment, led by the visionary philanthropy of the Davenport family,” said Roxanne Ruppel, president and chief operating officer. “Taken together, these gifts will enable Salem Hospital to provide the best possible care across our community, treating each patient holistically. There has been a well-documented rise in the demand for behavioral health services in recent years, leaving health care systems straining to meet wide-ranging patient needs. By expanding this capacity, patients can be managed in practices that specialize in mental health care, rather than in busy Emergency Departments, inpatient units, and primary care offices. The psychiatric team works collaboratively with the medical team to more quickly address mental illness and care for patients more holistically, leading to better outcomes. Thanks to the Davenport Fund Committee and all our supporters, Salem Hospital is well positioned to provide truly integrated and holistic care to our patients in an area of critical need.”

- Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is self-administered by the patient using a mask inhaler giving them complete control during labor. A patient simply takes a few breaths of the nitrous oxide at the beginning of a contraction to help alleviate the pain, and within a minute it leaves her system. Unlike an epidural, nitrous oxide can be administered within minutes of a patient choosing to use it. Nitrous oxide is ideal for patients early in labor before they get an epidural, for patients who do not want an epidural or for patients who are too close to delivery to get an epidural.
