Heart and lung disease can make it harder for patients to get the nutrition they need. Studies show that 20-60% of patients hospitalized with heart disease and up to 50% of patients with COPD may be malnourished, which can slow recovery and reduce strength. Our Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Program helps patients rebuild strength, improve endurance, and create healthy habits through exercise, nutrition education, and support from a dedicated care team. Patients also can work with a registered dietitian to set goals and learn strategies that support recovery. "Good nutrition is a key part of recovery after a heart or lung event," said Lindsey Hatfield, Clinical Dietitian. "I enjoy helping patients regain their strength, independence, and confidence as they work toward better health." #ASPENMAW26 #RuralHealthCare #NutritionCare #CommunityMatters ... See MoreSee Less
Meet Kristine Olson, Program Director of Senior Life Solutions of Richland Center, located in the lower level of The Richland Hospital.This Spring Green native has lived on a farm and in town. "Those experiences are definitely why I returned to rural health care after school, and I don't ever see myself leaving." For the past three years, Kristine has helped older adults across Richland County improve their mental wellness while leading with a collaborative and approachable style. "Despite what some might think about an age gap, I often find more connection than differences," Kristine shares. "I truly enjoy hearing about where and how people grew up and how those experiences shaped who they are today."Kristine credits her collaborative, and approachable coworkers for making this a dream job. "My team is my safe space. We support one another after difficult days, share stories, laugh together, and learn from each other." Her advice for older adults and caregivers seeking support? "Pick up the phone and call us. Anyone can make a referral, including for themselves."
