Having Interim has been a blessing

by Shelly Haskins 4. November 2009 18:24
I have been a patient with Interim for over a year.  I don’t know what I would do without Interim, especially my nurse Kim. I look forward to seeing Kin on her visits.  Having Interim has been a blessing; it has relieved some of the pressure off of my family for having to try to get me to the Labor Wound Care Centers, since it is difficult for me to leave the house, as I am disabled.  I brag about my nurse Kim, to my physicians, friends and staff in the hospital.  Kim helped me to get help after my last hospitalization with cleaning my house, receiving meals on wheels, equipment needed in the home.I live alone and want to remain in my home as long as I can.  With the help of Interim, my nurse Kim, and my family, I feel I will be able to remain here safely for a long time.Elizabeth B

Breast Cancer Awareness

Chances are everyone has been touched during their lives by someone who has had breast cancer. Perhaps it was a mother, sister, aunt, a close friend or yourself.  Breast cancer is a disease that forms in the tissues of the breast. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths for American women.  Over the past 50 years, the number of women diagnosed with breast cancer has increased each year which is likely due to better public education about the disease and better as well as earlier detection.

This year an estimated 180,000 Americans will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Although rare, an estimated 1,500 men will be part of that number.  Effective breast cancer testing procedures such as the mammogram diagnose breast cancer before it has a chance to spread to other areas of the body.  Such early detection also a...

Debbie always goes beyond the call of duty.

I would like to recognize Debbie K. because April 17, 2009 will be three years that Debbie is caring for my Mom. My mom has been bedridden for 5 ½ years, so I have had many caregivers, but have never had one as wonderful as Debbie. She has every one of the above attributes. I cannot say one negative thing about her. I feel very safe and confident when I leave her in charge, which by the way, Debbie works seven days a week, as I do. Debbie always goes beyond the call of duty. She has made my life so much easier. I never have to ask her to do anything. She sees what needs attention and takes care of it. Dusting, sewing, ironing, mopping and even taking good care of my animals. My mom is doing great as much as she can. No bed sores; always clean and always has hair neatly combed. I must also add, I cannot remember that Mom has had not even one skin tear since Debbie is on board. I am most grateful to Debbie and to Interim for finding her for me. D... [More]
