Today, we proudly recognize National Nurse Practitioner Week – a time to honor the incredible Nurse Practitioners (NPs) at our facility and across the country who bring skill, compassion, and accessibility to healthcare every single day. NPs are the heartbeat of patient-centered care – listening, diagnosing, treating, and advocating with unmatched dedication. While this week shines a spotlight on their contributions, their impact is felt all year long in hospitals, clinics, and communities nationwide. To all our NPs: thank you for making healthcare more human, more reachable, and more exceptional.

Kindred Hospitals specialize in treating complex respiratory conditions, particularly in ventilator weaning. Pulmonologists and respiratory therapists work together to help even the most complex patients breathe on their own again. Our rehabilitation teams also help patients - including those on ventilation - start moving as early and as much as possible. Most of our hospitals have earned Joint Commission certification in Respiratory Failure, showing our commitment to delivering excellent respiratory care.

At Kindred, we take a comprehensive approach to care, bringing specialists from multiple disciplines together to develop a unique treatment plan for each patient. This interdisciplinary care team meets at the bedside regularly to discuss goals, milestones, treatment, and progress. We invite patients and families to participate in these meetings and make their voices heard.

Patients at Kindred Hospitals begin receiving gentle in-bed therapy as soon as they are able to, progressing to more advanced movements as they recover. Our physical therapists (PTs) help even the most complicated patients, including those on mechanical ventilation, get on their feet. We are grateful for all our PTs who help our patients take the next step in their recovery journeys.
