In today's "Here's to Your Health" segment, we delve into the world of in-home healthcare with a focus on the invaluable services provided by Hammond-Henry Hospital. Tom Katz recently sat down with Katy Loibl, the manager of Home Health Services, to discuss the benefits and wide range of care offered. From crucial physical, occupational, and speech therapies to home IV therapy and wound care, these services ensure quality care right at patients' doorsteps. Loibl emphasizes how personalized treatments enhance recovery while allowing patients to stay in their familiar surroundings. This conversation is enlightening for anyone exploring alternatives to traditional in-hospital care for loved ones.

Home health begins with a call to your provider. Should your provider prescribe home care to you or someone you care for, please call our office at 309-944-4853. We will then move into a customized plan for the patient’s healthcare needs. For more information, visit their webpage here.
