Homeward Bound Patient, Willard Bockhorn, of Sparta, utilizes Zoom to speak with family.
With strict visitor restrictions being in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sparta Community Hospital
is turning to technology to help patients remain connected.
“We’re proud to be able to set-up Zoom for patients and family members to talk,” states Med Surg Manager, Becky
Ferrari. “It’s been a great tool to help patients stay in touch with their loved ones, while recovering in the hospital.”
