BankNewport grant to help purchase rehabilitation equipment

Posted

BankNewport recently presented a $16,000 grant to Kent Hospital to purchase new equipment for the hospital’s Acute Rehabilitation Unit. 

The BankNewport grant was awarded to purchase LiteGait, an innovative, partial weight-bearing harness to help patients with standing, weight-bearing and walking. This new equipment will continue to enhance the unit’s capabilities of care and increase patients level of function to perform tasks and return home.

“We are honored to receive this grant from BankNewport. We appreciate their commitment and dedication to enhance our services and care for the patients of Kent Hospital,” said Michael Dacey, MD, MS, FACP, president and chief operating officer at Kent Hospital. “Kent’s Acute Rehab patients will benefit greatly from their generosity.”

“BankNewport believes there is a strong connection between the health of our community and the health of our business,” said BankNewport president and CEO Sandra J. Pattie. “Kent Hospital is a valuable resource that touches the lives of so many, and our grant to the hospital’s Acute Rehabilitation Unit is one that we are most proud of. The LiteGait apparatus will allow patients with life-altering medical conditions to increase their level of function and independence. It is a gift that strengthens patients and the community which we are all a part of.”
