COVID patients recover with Hospital Care at Home
UHS
When COVID-19 patient John Lodge was told he could go home early from the hospital and be monitored remotely by his United Health Services doctor, he was thrilled.
“Knowing that I would be video-chatting at home with my doctor every day at 4 p.m. took away a level of worry and fear,” he said. “It eliminated stress while I was recovering and allowed me as a patient to feel comfortable.”
“Hospital Care at Home,” a program giving patients the ability to recover from COVID-19 in the comfort of their own homes after hospitalization is getting positive reviews from people who have benefitted from the new approach, according to Kim Brady, RN, System director of Care Management and a principal organizer of the program.

County Executive Jason Garnar says the Health Department had to call some people that had appointments with the County’s vaccination pod at the SUNY Broome Ice Rink February 17 and reschedule their appointments for next week when the 800-first-dose shots for this week failed to arrive due to weather delays and road closures.

United Health Services stepped in to cover 300 doses but that still left county health officials with the task of contacting people with appointments scheduled for later in the day to reschedule their shots.
Meanwhile, the County says it expects in the next week or two private health care providers may start to get vaccines and set up appointments with their patients.
