CareOne LTACH at Trintitas Regional Medical Center Recognized as Passy-Muir Center for Excellence

FORT LEE, N.J., Feb. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Among a select group of facilities world-wide, CareOne's LTACH at Trinitas Regional Medical Center has been recognized and named a Passy-Muir Center for Excellence.  Through the Centers of Excellence Program, Passy-Muir, Inc. recognized health care facilities that have demonstrated outstanding teamwork, education, and utilization of the Passy-Muir Valve in providing tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated patients a step towards independence and enhanced quality of life.

The Passy-Muir Valve is a medical device invented by a patient named David A. Muir that provides tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated patients the ability to speak.  Because the Passy-Muir Valves also improves swallowing ability, various pulmonary functions, and assists patients with wearing from the ventilator, it decreases recovery time, reduces hospital costs, and enhances the quality of life for patients.

"It is the mission of the CareOne LTACH to never stop asking how we can better our patient outcomes and quality of life. When you have so much uncertainty in your loved ones health, hearing their voice again, is truly the ultimate gift. The Passy-Muir Valve offers the gift of speech and confidence for the future" said Sharon Bready, CareOne's LTACH Executive Director.

While the Passy-Muir Valve is commonly used in facilities around the nation, CareOne's LTACH has met a set of high standards which facilitate the early and successful use of the valve with their patients.  THe keys to success include the development of a multidisciplinary team approach to caring for these patients and advanced education and skills training in the use of this technology. 

"It was an honor to learn that CareOne's LTACH at Trinitas Regional Medical Center is the first hospital in New Jersey to be distinguished with this award and the 13th overall in the nation," stated Gary Horan, FACHE, President & CEO of Trinitas, adding, "It is a testament to the innovation that CareOne is dedicated to giving to its patients."
