Long Term Care Center honored by U.S. News & World Report
Congratulations to the staff of the Long Term Care Center for providing great care – and earning national recognition for it!
Six Questions with April Fitzloff, PA-C
First job? Corn detasseling as a young teenager. In corn detasseling, you walk through fields of corn, pulling off the top part of the corn plant that contains the pollen that allows the corn plant to reproduce. My first and worst job ever!
Free time? Spending time with my family; reading (if my twins boys allow it), hiking and skiing.
Best part of your work? Establishing relationships with my patients, and knowing that my work does something to really help them.
Aromatherapy enhances patients’ experience
Aromatherapy helps patients feel more at ease during a hospital visit, and more comfortable during medical procedures like chemotherapy.
“People are interested in options that enhance their health without more medical intervention,” says Juliana Sayner, a registered nurse in the Cancer Care & Infusion Center who led the introduction of aromatherapy at Northfield Hospital. “It’s empowering for patients to take an active step in their own care.”
