Kentucky Colonels Awards $10,300 Grant to Support Installation of C.A.R.E. Channel at Saint Joseph Hospital Program
Program will create relaxing environment for patients

Lexington, Ky. (November 18, 2016) – The Honorable Order of the Kentucky Colonels has awarded $10,300 to the Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation, part of KentuckyOne Health, to support the installation of its Continuous Ambient Relaxation Environment (C.A.R.E.) Channel.
 
To improve patient outcomes, the hospital’s C.A.R.E. Channel will provide patients with 24-hour relaxation TV programming, including nature imagery and soothing music.
 
According to C.A.R.E. Channel developer Healing Healthcare Systems, hospitals across the country, including nationally renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital, have conducted case studies that provide compelling evidence for C.A.R.E. Channel effectiveness. Studies show the C.A.R.E. Channel helps reduce hospital stays and reliance on pain medication. C.A.R.E. programming has been shown to support circadian rhythms, enhance sleep and reduce the impact of hospital noise.
