THERAPY DOGS: TAILS PROGRAM

Thank you for your interest in the Longmont United Hospital (LUH) therapy dog
program. TAILS (Therapy Animals In Loving Service) has been delivering smiles to
patients, visitors, and staff since 2002. We currently have more than 35 teams.

Therapy dogs must be calm, obedient, and not easily distracted. They must love
meeting many kinds of people. They should know basic commands, walk calmly on a
loose lead, and be easily managed by their handlers in varied settings. For our
program, dogs must be at least 2 years old; handlers must be at least 18 years
old or at least 14 years old and accompanied by a parent. 

TAILS handlers are hospital volunteers. All volunteers must attend the
hospital’s orientation program, complete a background check, be tested for TB
and get a flu shot each year. LUH is a drug-free and tobacco-free workplace.

All therapy dog teams MUST be registered with a national therapy dog
registration association. Registration provides liability insurance when you do
volunteer work with your dog. Recognized registries for our programs include:

 * Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD) 
 * Pet Partners

Not all dogs are suited for this kind of work. Nor are all handlers. Before
contacting us, we strongly recommend that you read “Dog Assisted Therapy: Is
Your Dog a Good Fit?” It is an excellent article by Patricia McConnell, PhD. It
is available online. 

For more information, contact Longmont's Volunteer Office and speak to a TAILS
volunteer. The TAILS volunteer will provide information about the program and
will ask for your participation information to apply for the program. Please
complete the appropriate adult volunteer application to participate as a
volunteer.

SPIRITUAL CARE & CHAPLAINS

Being hospitalized and dealing with illness can be an extremely challenging
time. Many people find that talking with a chaplain can help during this period.
Chaplains in our Spiritual Care Services department provide support to patients,
family members, friends and staff members at Longmont United Hospital.

An integral part of our health-care team, chaplains are non-denominational,
interfaith, or no faith and are available around the clock to be a caring
presence. They offer spiritual and emotional support and listen with openness
and understanding. Patients, families and staff are encouraged to call a
chaplain when experiencing fear, anger, loneliness, helplessness, anxiety, grief
or loss, or when they just need someone to talk to. Chaplains are also available
for times of celebration, prayer and rituals.

We are available to support all our patients regardless of beliefs and religious
affiliation. Patients do not need to be affiliated with a congregation or faith
community to call a chaplain. However if you do belong to a community, we can
notify a faith community of your choice to make a visit. Your minister, Rabbi or
other spiritual advisor is welcome to visit you or your family members at any
time.

Request a visit from a chaplain:

 * Phone: 303-651-5280
 * Or dial '0' from your room to speak with an operator

PIVO NEEDLE-FREE BLOOD DRAW FOR INPATIENTS

How Needle-Free Blood Draw Works

Centura Health is excited to bring this procedure and technology to our entire
ecosystem of health care locations, especially for our most vulnerable
patients. 

Centura Health, the region’s health care leader, is now the first hospital
system in Colorado and Kansas, and among the first in the nation, to offer
needle-free blood draws for inpatients – fulfilling our promise of delivering
compassionate and whole person care.

Centura Health is continually striving to improve the patient experience and
lead Colorado and Kansas in comfort and quality. By using this revolutionary
technology Centura Health’s caregivers can collect blood samples from an
indwelling peripheral IV line, enabling a high quality blood draws directly from
the vein without having to stick patients with another needle. This standard of
care is currently in use in several of Centura Health’s Denver metro area
hospitals and will become available at the other Centura Health hospitals
throughout the year as part of our system-wide rollout and commitment to an
improved patient experience while in our care.

More than 400 million blood draws occur annually in hospitals around the U.S.,
informing more than 70% of all clinical decisions. Many of these are conducted
in a hospital setting on patients that receive as many as three blood draws
daily. This number can increase dramatically for the 30% of U.S. hospital
patients that are considered Difficult Venous Access (DiVA) due to obesity, age,
and disease, a condition that makes blood collection more challenging.

DAISY Award

Longmont United Hospital


DAISY AWARD

The DAISY Foundation was established in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes.
Patrick died at the age of 33, from complications of an auto-immune disease.
During his eight-week hospital stay, his family was impressed by the care and
compassion his nurses provided, not only to him but to everyone in the family.
They created the DAISY Award in Pat’s memory to recognize those nurses who make
a big difference in the lives of so many people.

Our DAISY Award honorees demonstrate Longmont United Hospital’s core values.
They also demonstrate excellence through their clinical expertise and
compassionate care. They are recognized as role models in our nursing community.
Longmont United Hospital is proud to be a DAISY Award partner, and will
recognize one of our nurses with this special honor every other month.

Each DAISY Award Honoree will be recognized at a public ceremony in her/his
unit, and will receive:

 * a beautiful certificate
 * a DAISY Award pin
 * a hand-carved stone sculpture entitled A Healer’s Touch

In addition, their clinic/unit will celebrate with Cinnabon® cinnamon rolls – a
favorite of Patrick’s. The Barnes family asks that whenever nurses smell that
wonderful cinnamon aroma, they stop for a moment and think about how special
they are.
