Die gemeenskapsgesondheidsdiens Courage to Care in Oakdene is vanaf 1 Mei amptelik Graceful Care Unlimited \u2013 \u2019n nuwe organisasie sonder winsbejag met Andrea Titus, \u2019n geregistreerde verpleegsuster, aan die stuur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Titus (60), wat al langer as 40 jaar in verpleging is en 25 jaar by die Groote Schuur-hospitaal gewerk het, is die laaste 10 jaar in die Kuilsrivier-gemeenskap werksaam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die span by Graceful Care bestaan uit 36 versorgers, drie geregistreerde verpleegsters, een stafverpleegster, ses lekeberaders (wat MIV- en tuberkulose-toetse doen), en \u2019n rehabilitasiewerker (wat by \u2019n fisioterapeut werk, maar tuis uitreik na pasi\u00ebnte wat verwys is vir fisioterapie).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gebied wat hulle bedien sluit Vrygrond, Kalkfontein, Sarepta en die bre\u00ebr Kuilsrivier tussen die R300-pad en die Stellenbosch-hoofverkeersweg in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Titus s\u00ea meeste van die versorgers wat pasi\u00ebnte tuis besoek, woon ook self in die gemeenskap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graceful Care se fokus is gemeenskaps-geori\u00ebnteerde prim\u00eare gesondheidsorg (amptelik bekend as COPC \u2013 community orientated primary care<\/em>), wat ten doel het om gesondheidsdienste in gemeenskappe toeganklik te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Titus verduidelik dit dek van dienste soos bloeddruk-, diabetes- en MIV-toetse tot gesinsbeplanning en reproduktiewe gesondheid, wondversorging, chroniese pasi\u00ebnte, bedl\u00eaende pasi\u00ebnte, medisyne-nakoming, kindergesondheid en bejaardesorg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Titus s\u00ea hulle het tans vyf ARV-gemeenskapklubs wat makliker toegang tot antiretrovirale medikasie vir MIV-pasi\u00ebnte moontlik maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dit word in samewerking met die Eersterivier-hospitaal aangebied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Daar is \u2019n wye netwerk van rolspelers binne die gemeenskap met wie hulle by tye saamwerk soos die Stad Kaapstad se gesondheidsdienste, die polisie, wetstoepassing, Hope House, Badisa en ander. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vir Titus is dit belangrik dat mense moet weet van hulle en dat die dienste wat hulle aanbied, gratis is. Graceful Care word ondersteun deur die departement van gesondheid, wat die personeel se salarisse betaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns wil mense aanmoedig om ons te kom sien. As hulle die versorgers (in hul nuwe wit uniforms) langs die pad sien, kan hulle by hulle navraag doen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vrydag het Titus en haar span die eerste keer Verpleegstersdag gevier onder hul nuwe vaandel as Graceful Care Unlimited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sondag was Titus se eerste Moedersdag sonder haar eie ma, Kathrina van Wyk, in wie se voetspore sy gevolg het om \u2019n verpleegster te word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Oktober verlede jaar het Titus haar ma by \u2019n geleentheid wat sy vir MIV-pasi\u00ebnte gere\u00ebl het, vorentoe geroep om haar te bedank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOmdat ons \u2019n familielid het met MIV, het sy altyd my uitreike ondersteun. Sy het altyd ges\u00ea sy is nie infected<\/em> nie maar affected<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Haar hart was stukkend toe haar ma \u2019n maand daarna en kort na haar 60ste verjaarsdag oorlede is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Titus het voorheen vertel haar ma \u2013 wat vier kinders alleen grootgemaak en twee (volwasse) kinders aan die dood afgestaan het \u2013 was \u2019n voorbeeld van deursettingsvermo\u00eb, wat haar geleer het \u201cdie lewe skuld jou niks \u2013 jy moet dit maak gebeur.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die gemeenskapsgesondheidsdiens
