DR. CRAYTON Continues to “Spread the Warmth”

In early December, Dr. Hulon Crayton, Rheumatologist and owner of The Arthritis and Infusion Center, began his annual “Spread the Warmth” initiative by delivering lap robes to area nursing facilities.  The reason?  “As people age, their blood and skin thins and certain medications, especially those used to treat arthritis, can also cause the person to feel perpetually chilly.”  We chose to expand our reach beyond nursing facilities, and are headed to  HealthSouth Emerald Coast Rehabilitation Hospital because of their exemplary care as embodied by their facility receiving the “Hospital of the Year Award”. 

            HealthSouth Emerald Coast Rehabilitation Hospital is the only hospital among HealthSouth’s nationwide network of 97 hospitals to receive this designation, which recognizes outstanding  performance in the development of clinical programs, quality of patient-care services, and overall operational excellence.

            Tony Bennett, CEO of HealthSouth Emerald Coast said, “Our success depends on the quality of care provided to each and every patient.” 

 

As Dr. Crayton pointed out – “We like to align our philanthropic efforts with centers who share the same philosophy as The Arthritis and Infusion Center regarding excellence in patient care.”

Dr. Crayton and his staff will be delivering the lap robes to HealthSouth at 10 a.m. on Friday, February 10^th.  (HealthSouth is located at 1847 Florida Avenue, near the intersection of Airport Road and 19thSt.)  The Arthritis and Infusion Center will continue to collect lap robes to distribute until March 31 at their medical practice, 2917 Highway 77.
