- The funds, announced by the governor’s office earlier this month, will be used to provide specialized expertise to Salem Hospital that will support discharges directly to a patient’s home, rather than to a skilled nursing facility or other long-term care setting. These funds will be a huge benefit to our patients, hospital, and the community,” said Lee Ann Baldini, director of case management at Salem Hospital. “Not only will more patients be able to return directly home, instead of being sent to a skilled facility, but we will also be able to discharge them faster – allowing greater access to other members of the community who need their beds.” The money is intended for AgeSpan and GLSS to hire personnel who work with Salem Hospitalto connect patients and their families with resources and services that ensure appropriate supports are put into place in their homes upon discharge. This grant provides community-based organizations, such as AgeSpan, an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with hospital systems and assure patients receive a well-coordinated discharge plan that supports their needs in community-based settings”, said AgeSpan CEO Joan Hatem-Roy.

- The program has helped hundreds of patients learn more about natural cures for heart disease, such as stress management, exercise and nutrition. Patients can, however, attend as many meetings as needed to successfully make changes as they seek. NSMC’s 12-week Cardiac Rehabilitation Program teaches patients about heart health, exercise, nutrition and stress management skills to help patients more fully recover from a heart attack or surgery and adopt strategies to help live a more heart-healthy lifestyle. Healing Your Heart picks up where Cardiac Rehab leaves off for patients who need more peer support," said Dr. Zarren. In each class, patients begin with a process of centering and finding a focus to let go of the stresses of the outside world and to focus on being present, in the moment.
