Hospital Foundation funds 4 infusion chairs at DCMH

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) – The Hospital Foundation of Decatur County has provided $31,225 to fund 4 new infusion chairs at Decatur County Memorial Hospital (DCMH).

These chairs will help patients stay comfortable as infusion treatments can take several hours, and some patients return regularly for treatment over weeks or months. 

The new power recliners are designed to give patients and caregivers greater flexibility throughout treatment. 

The chair can be adjusted to meet a patient’s needs, while features such as heat, massage, a footrest, and an attached table can provide additional comfort. Swing-away arms also make it easier for patients and caregivers to access the chair.

“When our team identifies a need like this, they come to the Foundation, and our donors help make it possible. We’re grateful to our clinical team for the care they provide every day and to our donors who make investments like this possible for patients,” said Mandy Lohrum, Director of the Hospital Foundation of Decatur County. 

The chairs will serve patients receiving chemotherapy and other cancer treatments, as well as those receiving non-cancer-related infusion therapies.

“We want our patients to feel cared for from the moment they arrive,” said Kristol Hadler, DCMH Executive Director, Nursing and Operations. “The Hospital Foundation’s investment helps us provide an environment that supports our patients while giving our team the tools they need to deliver exceptional care.”
