Specialty Services receives Foundation internal grant for oncology patient health packets.
The January internal grant cycle awarded a $200 grant to Specialty Services. The funding is for a new project for chemotherapy (Oncology)patients. New patients to oncology will receive a take home package with a water bottle, chapstick, soft toothbrush, lotion and thermometer. When patients first receive chemo it is important to get new products along with instructions for usage. Debbie Glenz, Specialty Services RN shared, "When patients are started on chemotherapy their immune system is lowered and their chance for infection goes up. With new supplies they have a start in the right direction with their care.“
