GLADWIN — MyMichigan Medical Center Gladwin has enhanced patient comfort by adding four new infusion therapy chairs, funded by a $24,000 donation from the MyMichigan Health Foundation.
The chairs, made possible by proceeds from the annual Swing Into Wellness Golf Outing, are designed to improve the treatment experience for patients who often spend extended periods undergoing infusion therapy. The new chairs recline and feature built-in heating, creating a more comfortable environment for those receiving care.
Amanda Graybill, supervisor of infusion services at MyMichigan Medical Center Gladwin, emphasized the significance of the new chairs, stating, “These chairs may seem like a small change, but for our patients, they make a meaningful difference. Providing a comfortable, warm place to rest during treatment helps ease the experience and allows patients to focus on healing.”
Infusion therapy can be physically and emotionally demanding. Enhancements like the new chairs contribute to a more calming atmosphere for patients and their families.
Kelsey Killinger, director of fund development for MyMichigan Health Foundation, highlighted the role of donor support in enhancing patient care. “It is rewarding to see how donor support translates into real comfort for patients during their treatment,” Killinger said. “Because of the generosity of our donors and Swing Into Wellness participants, we are able to invest in enhancements that directly improve comfort, dignity and the overall experience for patients receiving care close to home.”
