She is also an animal lover with three dogs of her own. Where ever she goes, her dogs go. Their safety and happiness are paramount to her.<\/p>\n<p>So when Sultzman realized that the emergency department was challenged with patients anxious about the care of their pets who had accompanied them to a hospital campus, she teamed up with Stephanie Price, regional administrative assistant for emergency services. They took initiative to find a solution for temporary housing and caring for animals while the pets awaited pick-up by friends or family members, or by an animal protection agency.<\/p>\n<p>It was an idea bolstered by UCHealth\u2019s patient pillars: Know me, guide me, educate me, support me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have patients come to the hospital, brought by an ER situation, and they have their animals with them,\u201d Sultzman said. \u201cI started thinking about what it looks like. For example, a patient who\u2019s had a stroke and has their dog with them, how can we calm their fears and anxiety about their dog being safe so that they can relax and get the diagnostic testing and care they need in the hospital?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With her colleagues on board and the backing of emergency department leaders, Sultzman and Price began a project to provide kennels to Poudre Valley Hospital, Medical Center of the Rockies and Greeley Hospital. They created a log process to track an animal\u2019s placement, a system for recording its care timeline, and a process within the EDs to make sure the animal\u2019s well-being was being attended to during the stay.<\/p>\n<p>Their efforts have not only brought relief to patients at the hospital but also prevented them from delaying necessary care, said Amanda Miller, nurse manager for the emergency department at Poudre Valley Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a patient call recently saying they really needed some medical care but didn\u2019t have anywhere for their dog to stay,\u201d Miller recalled. \u201cThey were so relieved when I told them we could make sure their dog was cared for and safe while she got the care she needed. The patient checked in and got the care she&#8217;d been putting off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There also is the occasional unique situation that has proven the program\u2019s worthiness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a goat follow a man in the middle of the night into the ED,\u201d Miller said. \u201cWe were able to keep her (the goat) until the humane society could come the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Price found classical music helped calm the goat, who was quite vocal about his temporary housing.<\/p>\n<p>As the ADA coordinator, it\u2019s Sultzman\u2019s responsibility to make sure hospitals accommodate service animals, but hospitals are not required to care for them, or any accompanying pet, while patients receive care.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Sultzman and Price\u2019s love for animals and their empathy for patients that drove them to make sure patients know that their well-being \u2014 and their pet\u2019s \u2014 will not be overlooked at UCHealth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assuring the wellbeing of every person \u2014 and animal \u2014 at our hospitals Wendy Sultzman is the ADA coordinator for UCHealth hospitals in northern Colorado.
