Trios Health Launches New Messaging Platform to Send Well Wishes to Isolated Patients

Trios Health has launched an online community platform that allows friends, family, church communities and the community at large to connect with current patients. Trios Chaplain, Ondria Hitt shares, “For hospitalized patients, staying connected to their support systems and receiving encouragement and love from family and friends is a meaningful part of healing and recovery. We know that our patients not being able to have visitors and loved ones at their bedside can be an isolating and lonely experience. We want our patients to know they are not forgotten, and that people care about them.  Prayers, poems, scriptures, or your heartfelt messages will matter and make a difference.” Isolation has become a very real concern since our local hospitals have restricted visitation to protect both patients and staff during the COVID-19 outbreak. 

Staff at Trios will be printing out the messages and delivering to patients with the hope that this communication will bring comfort, encouragement and peace during this very challenging time.  And, for a community self-isolating at home, Chaplain Ondria shares, “We are finding creative ways to help keep our patients spirits up while helping the community know how they can remain close to their loved ones and other patients. The kindness of our community has been like a prayer in motion as they continue to reach out to help in so many ways.  We acknowledge the community with deep gratitude for their care. 
Anyone from the community can share well wishes and words of inspiration online Trios patients. Please visit bit.ly/2V9bFPA to fill out your message. The link will also be posted on the Trios website - trioshealth.org/COVID-19/.
