My infant son was in the children's hospital in Macon for 2 weeks. He was not doing well and got a high fever so we took him to his doctor and discovered he had pneumonia and a urinary tract infection. He went by ambulance from there to the hospital. He was one step down from the ICU but we couldn't stay with him, they put on this channel for him and it was so great he loved listening and watching this channel. I wanted to find out what it was and make sure we had it here for him at home. He's 8 weeks old now and was able to gain a lot of weight in the hospital.”

  My 98 year old grandfather is currently in the hospital and enjoys The C.A.R.E. Channel a lot. I also enjoy it and find it has dramatically reduced my stress levels. The images have sparked memories for my grandfather and have led to many interesting stories and conversation for us.”

  I recently underwent colon surgery and spent several days in the hospital recovering. I came across The C.A.R.E. Channel my first night. I was instantly mesmerized. I was able to become totally immersed in the images and music, allowing a welcome distraction to the pain, tubes entering and exiting my body, and routine hospital noises and interruptions. I almost didn’t want to go to sleep at night because I was enjoying travelling through the stars.”

  We have been playing The C.A.R.E. Channel for about two weeks now. We absolutely love it! Our patients are so much more relaxed when they return from surgery and hear the calming music. It also seems to be soothing to anxious patients and family members when they are first admitted. When we have empty rooms, I put the music on for my staff. We all think it lowers our blood pressure!”

  We tune The C.A.R.E. Channel on the TV inpatient waiting areas to set a calming mood for families and to create a better ambiance in the patient care areas. We also tune in The C.A.R.E. Channel on the TV when bringing patients back from surgery. We find this helps keep patients more calm and relaxed as they wake up from surgeries.”

   As I round on the units each day, I mention The C.A.R.E. Channel and before our session with a patient, I turn it on to add a sense of spirituality and peace to our discussion and conversations. Yesterday, a very agitated man on the med surg unit who had been dealing with a very difficult diagnosis plus struggles with the economy and its downfall for he and his family, did not initially want to talk with me. I went over to put on [The C.A.R.E. Channel], and all I said was 'I wish you much peace and healing today as you deserve that more than ever.' He looked up at me, his eyes became moistened with tears and he asked me then to sit down, and we had a very revealing and opening conversation. Without The C.A.R.E. Channel, I really believe that the spirituality expressed between patient and chaplain could just not have occurred."

  I utilize The C.A.R.E. Channel with the majority of my patients. They find it incredibly soothing, and the celestial scenery at night is beautiful. I keep it on 24/7. It is very comforting to patients that are in the ED. It calms them down, many times in the midst of a war zone. The C.A.R.E. Channel helps create a healing environment. All of our massage therapists at the hospital turn The C.A.R.E. Channel on during patient massages. The C.A.R.E. Channel images are beautiful; you feel like you are sitting next to the ocean. The guided meditations are very helpful in both English and Spanish."

  My mom was in Honor Health North Phoenix. I was in the hospital with my mom for a week and had nothing but this channel on the entire time -- thank you for it! The music and video kept my mom from being restless and worrying that there is something she needs to be doing."

Patient at HonorHealth John C. Lincoln Medical Center

  I found your program profoundly soothing and relaxing and have recommended it to other friends dealing with similar circumstances. We loved the star gazing, nature and landscapes, rain, wildlife, and waterfalls."
