En 1999, un vecino le present\u00f3 a Rodney Smith y a Janet Kemink, y el resto, como suele decirse, es historia. Rodney, un m\u00e9dico jubilado de medicina de urgencias, y Janet, una enfermera jubilada, construyeron una vida en torno al cuidado de los dem\u00e1s. Durante sus carreras, atendieron a pacientes de todos los \u00e1mbitos de la vida, viendo a las personas en sus momentos m\u00e1s vulnerables.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Janet brind\u00f3 apoyo a las personas asustadas por su diagn\u00f3stico e inseguras sobre lo que vendr\u00eda despu\u00e9s. Las guio a trav\u00e9s de sus planes de atenci\u00f3n con compasi\u00f3n y alivi\u00f3 sus temores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodney a menudo atend\u00eda a pacientes que se encontraban en la sala de emergencias simplemente porque no ten\u00edan los medios para buscar atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica regular. Al recibir el alta, con frecuencia eran remitidos a Packard Health para recibir atenci\u00f3n de seguimiento. Muchos de estos pacientes llegaron a desarrollar relaciones de confianza con sus proveedores de atenci\u00f3n primaria de Packard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atender a estos pacientes en el Departamento de Emergencia inspir\u00f3 a Rodney a transmitir el lado humano de la medicina a los residentes que formaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cUna de las cosas que les dir\u00eda a los residentes es que su trabajo es averiguar \u2018por qu\u00e9\u2019 la gente viene al departamento de emergencias. Cuando eres residente, crees que vinieron debido a un malestar o a una enfermedad aguda. Pero si realmente encuentras la respuesta a esa pregunta, a veces es simplemente porque era la \u00fanica vez que pod\u00edan conseguir un avent\u00f3n, o no pod\u00edan faltar al trabajo para ir a una cita m\u00e9dica.\u201d
\u2013 Rodney Smith<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Escuchar las historias de sus pacientes inspir\u00f3 a Rodney y Janet a ayudar, y reconocieron que Packard Health pod\u00eda ser una soluci\u00f3n para aquellos cuyo \u2019porqu\u00e9\u201c era un problema de transporte u otra barrera para acceder a una atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de calidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El compromiso y la compasi\u00f3n de Rodney y Janet hacia sus pacientes contin\u00faa hoy en d\u00eda a trav\u00e9s de donaciones a Packard Health y a otras organizaciones locales que apoyan a los miembros vulnerables de nuestra comunidad: los pacientes que han quedado desatendidos por el sistema de salud. Ha sido \u201cuna bendici\u00f3n ser parte de eso\u201d, afirmaron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuando le preguntaron si ten\u00eda alg\u00fan consejo para Packard, Rodney dijo: \u201cSigan haciendo lo que est\u00e1n haciendo\u201d. Y con su ayuda, haremos exactamente eso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
