Millie was diagnosed with COVID-19 and as her breathing became worse, she had to be placed on a ventilator. She was transferred to Kindred Hospital for continued respiratory therapy and rehabilitation. She made excellent strides toward regaining her independence with help from her entire team, and by the time she was discharged from Kindred to return home to her family she was able to walk with a rolling walker, needed only supplemental oxygen and continued making progress every day. “I’m looking forward to having a normal life like I had before I got sick,” Millie expressed. “I can’t thank everyone at Kindred enough!”
When Matthew began to feel sharp pains in his chest, he was rushed to the ER. Physicians had to perform CPR and placed him on a ventilator when his breathing became compromised by respiratory failure. Matthew arrived at Kindred and began to receive respiratory therapy. He started the early mobility program with his physical and occupational therapists, making steady gains every day during his stage as he moved through various levels of recovery.
“Kindred is very amazing,” Matthew affirmed just before leaving the facility. “The staff helped us understand exactly what was happening every day – they are a very great team. I have something great to say about everybody here and I also want to thank my wife for being here with me (even if not in person) every day!”

Soon, he was able to begin communicating with a speaking valve and as his lungs became stronger, his breathing tube was removed.

His team celebrated his discharge and everyone wished him all the best as he left Kindred.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends people get their flu shot by the end of October. The sooner you can get vaccinated for the flu, the better – especially if you are planning to receive a COVID-19 vaccine once it’s available. Every flu season is different, with some being worse than others. Your best defense is vaccination, which provides important protection from flu and its potential complications.
Over the last few weeks, we have focused on the importance of getting a flu shot this year as seasonal influenza viruses begin to spread along with the virus that causes COVID-19. To help raise awareness and encourage others to roll up their sleeves for this year’s flu vaccine, some of our dedicated team members are sharing photos of their flu shots on social media using #FluShotSelfies!
After Barbara returned from a trip, she found out that she had contracted COVID-19. After three days her breathing became compromised. Barbara had to be placed on a ventilator and was transferred to Kindred Hospital for respiratory therapy and rehabilitation. Her physical and occupational therapists helped her overcome a very long period of inactivity, and she began to regain her strength and motor skills. “My team at Kindred gently and effectively weaned me off the vent,” Barbara said. “Everyone listened to me and really heard me. They also found the sweet spot with my medications to help my anxiety, so I could be weaned – I was definitely suffering from post-ICU anxiety. I had full confidence in the staff and I that helped me get better.”"
The special importance of a flu vaccine this winter comes down to one word – “twindemic” - that describes the serious consequences of the flu in possible conjunction with COVID-19. Click here to read more: http://Kindrd.care/6182GfA2I

After Dulce started feeling sick, she was taken to the hospital where she was diagnosed with COVID-19 and had to be placed on a ventilator. She was transferred to Kindred Hospital to receive respiratory therapy and rehabilitation.
She rapidly started to make progress under the guidance of her respiratory therapists and started on the early mobility program with her physical and occupational therapists.
“The staff have all done a very good job,” Dulce expressed before being discharged to return home. “I am happy that they have given me my life back. I passed the swallow evaluation and am so happy to be able to drink and eat again. And thanks to my rehab team I am now able to walk the entire hallway.”
Margarita developed COVID-19 and had to be put on a ventilator and given a feeding tube. Then she was transferred to Kindred Hospital for advanced respiratory therapy and rehabilitation.
Her respiratory therapists immediately started working to strengthen her lungs and wean her from the ventilator. Margarita steadily improved until she no long needed the ventilator, could eat and drink a normal diet, was independent in all areas of daily life and able to stand and walk short distances with assistance.
“Thanks to Kindred and God I am able to go home to my family,” Margarita shared just before she left Kindred. Her family gathered to welcome her back home as a hero.
Roger contracted COVID-19 as an RN caring for others on the front lines.

Jay and Carol met over six years ago when they were patients at a rehabilitation facility. During the course of their treatment, they became friends, exchanged phone numbers and, after they had both recovered and returned home, made plans for a date. Over the next few months their relationship deepened and they fell in love. Even though Jay has faced several health challenges since they first met, Carol has always been at his side and just recently while Jay was at Kindred Hospital, they decided that they were meant to be married and started making arrangements.
Then, on a sunny morning in the middle of August, Jay and Carol were wed by their pastor and a couple of witnesses who attended the ceremony just outside of Kindred Hospital. “We’re ready for Jay to get better, so he can be discharged and come home, and we can start our lives as husband and wife,” Carol shared. “We are strong in our faith and grateful that it was fate that brought us together.”
This is Respiratory Care Week. Thanks to all respiratory therapists for their professionalism, hard work, sacrifice, and commitment to providing excellent patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I know none of this would have been possible without Kindred.”
After being diagnosed with COVID-19, Cristobal developed acute respiratory failure, requiring a ventilator to help him breathe.

We are very thankful for all of our employees who take care of our patients every day. We appreciate you. Best wishes to all of you and your family during this holiday season.
Jacquelynne was the first COVID-19 patient at our hospital. Because she was on a ventilator and experienced numerous setbacks, she wasn't able to immediately begin the kind of early rehabilitation that would help her recover. But once she was weaned from the vent and fully engaged with her rehabilitation therapists, she began to make progress. “My journey was long and rich,” Jacquelynne affirmed before she was discharged to continue her rehabilitation before going home at last after six months at Kindred. “The doctors are amazing, staff communicates well at all times and everyone was sensitive to my needs. This is the first place that I’ve been to that everyone cares about you. Thank you all for making me a part of your family during the darkest time and for the care you gave me – I will never forget you.”"
Felicia was transferred to Kindred Hospital after her COVID-19 battle. “I 100% appreciate all that the staff have done for me while I was here,” Felicia shared before she was discharged to return home with her husband and family. “I want to personally thank Caleb in PT – he is my angel and is always positive, encouraging and very professional. My RN Jill kept it real and was always there when I needed her – she is in my eye the perfect nurse! And my RT Sandy was sweet and positive, she always kept me in the know and helped me understand what was going on and always checked in on me.”
At Kindred, Creating Fun in What You Do is one of our core values, whether we are inspiring patients during their recovery journey or working alongside team members to support patient care. Hear from Kindred team member Jonathan M. on what this core value means for him in his role as a physical therapist:
Regular handwashing is one of the best ways to remove germs, avoid getting sick and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Whether you are at home, at work, traveling, or out in the community, make sure and wash your hands for 20 seconds. If no soap or water is available, use hand sanitizer.
On this first night of Hanukkah we wish you and your loved ones a joyous festival of lights.
Following hospital treatment for COVID-19, Arthur was transferred to Kindred Hospital to receive advanced respiratory therapy and rehabilitation.
With the help of his team of caregivers at Kindred, Arthur started to make progress. After a long road, and with the help of his respiratory therapists, he was able to reach a major milestone when he was able to be taken off the ventilator. In the rehab gym Arthur was guided by his physical and occupational therapists to recover his strength, mobility and independence, allowing him to be discharged from Kindred to continue with his rehab.
Just a few days ago Arthur dropped by Kindred Hospital to say hello to his caregivers and share his progress. “I still can’t believe that I beat COVID,” Arthur said. “Now my biggest dream is getting back on the golf course.”
After treatment for a neurological condition at a local community hospital, Dale was stabilized and then transferred to Kindred Hospital to receive respiratory therapy and rehabilitation.
At the beginning of his stay at Kindred, Dale was dependent on his team of caregivers for all of his needs. He also required wound care, and his respiratory therapists immediately began to work with him to strengthen his lungs. Day by day Dale made steady progress, and one month after his admission was able to be taken off the ventilator completely. With help from his physical and occupational therapists Dale regained the ability to stand, walk and regain his independence.
“I am very happy about the care I received,” Dale affirmed before he was discharged. “Everyone is helpful – more than helpful, really. The staff is excellent and after being in hospitals for eight weeks now, I can say that Kindred saved my life.”
The holiday season has officially arrived, and we wanted to take this time to say thank you and show our gratitude to all of our amazing front line workers who provided hope, healing and recovery during these unprecedented times. And from all of us at Kindred, we wish you a peaceful Christmas Eve.

Isiah suffered severe fractures and wounds from a motorcycle accident and had to be placed on a ventilator and a feeding tube. Unfortunately, he became a paraplegic due to his injuries and was transferred to Kindred Hospital where he could receive advanced respiratory therapy, wound care and rehabilitation.
By the time Isiah was ready to be discharged from Kindred to continue his journey to recovery, he was able to transfer from his bed to his wheelchair. “Sometimes I didn’t want to do things, but my team didn’t let me stop,” Isiah shared. “My new body is challenging me to understand what is possible but I won’t stop until I find a new baseline. My entire team did more for me than I could have asked for – I came to that realization here at Kindred and quite frankly, the biggest lesson for me was learning to ask for help.”

Linda is the clinical pharmacist at Kindred Hospital, where she has worked for over 10 years. She shared what led her to become a pharmacist and what drives her love for her line of work.
“I became interested in clinical pharmacology in high school when a teacher discussed it with me, and as they say – the rest is history!” Linda said. “I really enjoy working at a small hospital where you get to know all your co-workers and where my department is involved in patient care decisions. In addition to my regular tasks, one of my favorite daily routines is to round with physicians and the patient advocate, which is very beneficial as I’m able to provide input while decisions are being made. I also enjoy working with pharmacy students when they are with us as part of their rotation and always try to spend part of my day with them.”

Jorge was diagnosed with COVID-19 shortly after his wife was also found to be positive, and he had to be hospitalized. Once he had been stabilized, he was transferred to Kindred Hospital, where he could receive respiratory therapy and rehabilitation. Jorge overcame many obstacles and made steady progress, regaining his mobility and independence until he was finally able to return home with only supplemental oxygen to continue supporting his recovery.
“The staff here are heroes, putting their lives on the line to help me and others affected by COVID,” Jorge expressed before he was discharged to return to his wife and home. “After a long journey in the ICU at another hospital I came to Kindred to start my rehab. My entire team worked together to make sure I was always safe and my recovery was on track and everyone has been very kind!”
