    Please join us in congratulating Dustin Wade, RN (4C) as one of our most recent DAISY Award winners at HKH! 🌼👏

    It seems fitting that during Hospital Week, we proudly recognize Dustin for the exceptional dedication and compassionate care he provides to our patients every day. Dustin received multiple nominations from former family members/patients he has cared for. We'll summarize the kind words used in his nominations:

    "Dustin exemplifies the nursing profession in an EXCELLENT way. He was professional, kind, compassionate and always eager to help. He put me at ease even though I knew all the drills of healthcare. Just a constant source of reassurance and a ray of sunshine. Dustin is heaven-sent."

    "After checking on my grandparents he would always ask if there was anything we needed. I saw him take care of the patients in the other rooms with just as much care. I thank God for nurses like Dustin Wade."

    Reimagine Joint Replacement with Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery at HKH! 🌟

    Mako is an innovative surgical solution for many suffering from painful arthritis or degeneration of the knee or hip. Mako utilizes a 3D CT-based planning software, allowing your surgeon to better understand your anatomy and personalize your surgical plan. Compared to manual surgery, the Mako technology leads to a shorter recovery time, less post-operative pain and an overall better outcome for joint replacement patients.

    To find out if you are a candidate for the Mako Total Hip or Total Knee Replacement, please contact your orthopedic surgeon. https://www.helenkeller.com/services-a-z/orthopedics
