Timothy's Success Story
"The doctors and nurses helped save my life.”
- Timothy
Timothy presented to Mary & Elizabeth Hospital with complaints of leg swelling and a cough. He was then transferred to U of L Jewish Hospital for further evaluation. Multiple abscesses and infections were found. After multiple procedures and surgeries, Timothy was transferred to Kindred Hospital Louisville for continued care.
While at Kindred Timothy followed his rehabilitation plan and completed his antibiotic treatments. The wound care team followed him closely and created a treatment plan to heal his wounds.
As his strength returned, he made excellent progress in rehab. By the time he was ready to be discharged home, he was ambulating independently, his wounds were healed and he had completed his medication therapies.
“The doctors and nurses here helped save my life.” shared Timothy. “I am very happy to get back home to our farm and get back to work.”
Care for Complex Conditions
Patients come to our hospitals with serious conditions such as respiratory failure, complex wounds, sepsis, stroke, congestive heart failure, or even a combination of these. Their diagnoses are often complicated by existing health problems like diabetes or COPD. Many of our patients require treatments such as mechanical ventilators, dialysis, or IV therapy.
