 CHH recently received donations to enhance patient stays in the
Maternity and Pediatric areas. Mr. Douglas Gooey-Guy, a local Litchfield
resident, generously donated seven flat screen TV’s for the birthing suites. The
new mounted TV’s allowed for the removal of the large armoires, which were
donated to the Susan B. Anthony Project. Additionally, Goey-Guy donated
computers, an Xbox console, and craft items for the Pediatric Care Unit. The
gifts are in appreciation for the care the Goey-Guy’s received while patients in
the Maternity and Pediatric areas. The CHH community is thankful and
touched by this caring support.

The Charlotte Hungerford Hospital and local emergency
responders are taking new strides in the fight against cardiac disease. The
Hospital has recently sponsored a series of trainings for area Emergency Medical
Service (EMS) providers to introduce and help implement a new emergency protocol
that permits emergency responders to administer aspirin when treating the victim
of heart attack.
The Charlotte Hungerford Hospital’s Center for Cancer Care dedicated its new “Tree of Life” memorial at a reception held on January 24, 2008 at the Center’s Kennedy Drive location. Supporters, guests, staff and cancer survivors were on hand for the debut of the new cast bronze, three dimensional tree and leaves located on the wall just inside in front entrance.
The Charlotte Hungerford Hospital has recently earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval™ and three-year accreditation by demonstrating compliance with the Commission's national standards for healthcare quality and safety. A team of nurse and physician surveyors visited CHH for a comprehensive, three-day unannounced visit this past September that measured over 250 individual standards of care.
The Charlotte Hungerford Hospital’s Center for Professional
Development and Education has incorporated new simulation and E-learning
capabilities to its educational offerings for clinical personnel, students, and
local healthcare professionals thanks to a generous grant from The Connecticut
Health and Educational Facilities Authority (CHEFA).
