Patients are sometimes admitted to Bellevue and their clothes must be cut off or disposed of. The Clothing Room is able to provide clothes to patients, from the ER, Medicine, Psychiatry, etc., thus ensuring their dignity and ability to be discharged. 116844 VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION - WORK DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMEmotional well-being is just as important as physical health. Using Auxiliary funds, the Work Development Program at Bellevue, provides a work experience within the hospital for recovering psychiatric and addicted patients, resulting in rebuilding their confidence, gaining life skills and enhancing their vocational goals. Various hospital departments, such as Human Resources, Environmental Services, Patient Transport, etc. benefitted from this extra help. 54547 GENERAL HOSPITAL PROGRAMSACTIVITY THERAPY MUSIC PROGRAM This program supports small configurations of musicians for intimate performances. Live music has been shown to alleviate anxiety, fear, depression and isolation associated with medical illness and disability. Patient referrals, from various units, are made by medical, nursing and multi-disciplinary team members to the Activity Therapy Director, who assigns the performers to specific units and referred patients. ACTIVITY THERAPY - PSYCHIATRYThree different areas are supported for Activities Therapy in Psychiatry, providing activities for patients which relieve stress and improve the quality of patient downtime:(1) Recreation and Sensory supplies for therapeutic group programming and individual patients such as journaling materials, stress balls, aromatherapy, etc. DVDs for educational and inspirational films are also supplied. (2) Special events, such as holiday and cultural occasions are funded for dance performances, picnics, Black History Month, Latino Heritage Month, festive decorations, etc. These activities greatly enhance the patient's treatment and well-being.(3) Emergency funds for replacing broken equipment like the ping pong table, etc.All nine Adult Inpatient Psychiatry Units were able to supplement group therapy sessions with appropriate adjunct materials, as well as helping patients enjoy special activities like holiday celebrations and summer picnics. SOBRIETY GARDENPatients receiving treatment through the Alcoholism Clinic benefit from participation in the Sobriety Garden, which builds their sense of achievement and accomplishment. The garden sits on a wedge of land flanked by the main hospital building and the FDR drive. It covers approximately 15,000 square feet. Part of it is cultivated in vegetables, much of it in flowers. Its paths are created from mosaics and stones, accented with folk sculptures made by the patients, creating an inspiring environment for all visitors. Photography activities are also provided to the patients.CHAPLAINCYFunds are provided for the purchase of religious material for the Chaplains to distribute to patients of all faiths. Spiritual guidance is an integral part of patient care and the Auxiliary assists by providing the appropriate materials. Patients were provided with materials such as bibles, qurans, rosary beads, etc.DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT (DME) FOR UNDOCUMENTED/UNINSURED PATIENTSFunds are provided for patients who do not have any type of medical insurance and are unable to purchase durable medical equipment (ie. wheelchairs, walkers, respiratory equipment, etc.). This can be a problem for patients who are unemployed, undocumented, of limited income, etc. because it often prevents them from being discharged home. The purchase of such equipment enables patients to go home safely. PATIENT DISCHARGE TRAVELPatients from all over NYC, the US and the world are treated at Bellevue Hospital. In many cases, a visit to the hospital was not part of their itinerary or travel plans. Some of these patients require assistance with their transport home upon discharge. The Social Work Dept. will make such arrangements, usually because patients do not have the financial resources. The Auxiliary purchases bus, train and airline tickets to facilitate their return home to enable them to receive care from family members and/or healthcare facilities closer to their residence. 275967 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 NY X X The Organization 2125625255 462 First Avenue A100 New York NY 10016 X Jared C Dukas President 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Matthew Rimi Vice President; Secretary 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Dayle Kearns Treasurer 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Lillian Calvanico Assistant Treasurer 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Wilbur Weder Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Migeon Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 H Arnold Strauch Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joan Babinecz Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carole Borstein Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Paula Thomson Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Patricia Blau Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Melissa Henry Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 70984 70984 171269 171269 2083150 2015926 67224 67224 67224 309477 0 0 238493 2750 2750 39103 39103 29494 16200 13294 1997 1997 978 978 Patient stipends 120758 120758 Program supplies 112970 112970 Equipment for factility 25092 25092 Transportation services 947 947 864 864 334953 275967 58986 0 9839 37863 191202 215912 9012 9012 0 0 5076146 5427854 5549 7640 5282736 5689269 13678 93705 13678 93705 X 5253386 5571251 15672 24313 5269058 5595564 5282736 5689269 -25476 351982 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 15210 35596 17748 44444 70984 183982 9000 7000 7000 7400 0 30400 24210 42596 24748 51844 70984 214382 36195 178187 136545 145410 144103 160420 171269 757747 972129 57 0.18330 0.16140 X Bellevue Hospital Center, Inc. is the oldest public hospital in the United States.
