For Immediate Release – February 15, 2021
The Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation is excited to announce its Transforming Transitional Care Campaign. A Transitional Care Unit (TCU) is a recuperative and supportive place to heal following an injury, surgery, or serious illness. From changes to one’s daily schedule to the adjustments necessary to return home – the care team of nurses, doctors, and therapists manage transitions and help patients regain a level of independence for a safe return home.
Our aging population and the increased need for Transitional Care in our community, led to the design of this project. It will increase the number of patients the hospital is able to offer this specialized care to, before they transition back home. Our community is changing and Sheridan Memorial Hospital wants to ensure the growing number of patients needing transitional care will have the opportunity to stay right here in Sheridan, close to home and family.

The Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation has already received about 600 donations for expansion of the hospital’s Transitional Care Unit, and the project is now in the design phase.
Information on the project was presented to hospital trustees at their meeting Wednesday night. Rob Forister, the hospital’s director of facility support, said a design for the project has been developed and is now in the hands of the project architect.
Ada Kirven, the hospital foundation’s director of donor relations, reported on the foundation fundraising for the project.
The Transitional Care Unit is a short-term care facility provided by the hospital to help patients transition from the hospital to their homes by providing services such as rehabilitation and skilled nursing care.
