Vermont Business Magazine Central Vermont Home Health & Hospice (CVHHH) is excited to kick off its 2015 Fall Solicitation with writer and beloved New England storyteller Willem Lange as Honorary Campaign Chair. “Nearly 10 years ago, Will chaired a campaign for CVHHH that helped raise over $50,000 in donations to support what was then our new telemonitor program,” says Daniel L. Pudvah, CVHHH’s Director of Development. “We are grateful for Will’s service again as our Honorary Chair this fall.”
Lange, who resides with his wife Ida in East Montpelier, drafted a letter in support of CVHHH that was mailed to over 1,200 members of the community in November. In it, Lange admits that, though, he’s more of a “typewriter-era person,” he is amazed at the advanced telemonitor technology that CVHHH utilizes to care for patients in their homes:
“In the comfort of their own homes, ‘patients’ can weigh themselves, check their blood pressure, glucose and oxygen levels. Comforted by familiar surroundings while still enjoying regular surveillance of their condition keeps CVHHH patients healthier and happier longer, at much lower cost than would institutional care.”
Funds raised support services that CVHHH provides to the community. To learn more about making a secure, online contribution to CVHHH’s Fall Campaign, visit www.cvhhh.org and click the Make a Donation button on the homepage.
