New London Lawrence + Memorial Hospital delivered a message to its employees Wednesday: Welcome HOME.
That’s H-O-M-E as in Home Ownership Made Easy, an L+M program that will provide forgivable loans of up to $10,000 to eligible employees seeking to buy their first home in New London.
The city and Chelsea Groton Bank are in on it, too.
“I’m excited to announce this new program that can lead to the financial and health benefits of home ownership for L+M employees,” Patrick Green, the hospital’s president and chief executive officer, said at a City Hall news conference. “Buying a home is likely one of the most expensive purchases one can make, so it makes perfect sense for us to invest in initiatives like the HOME program that can help our employees and our community.”
Study finds link between lack of ICU beds and patient mortality during COVID-19 pandemic
A new study by Yale researchers found a significant association between the availability of hospital resources particularly ICU beds and patient mortality during the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This was especially true at hospitals in the northeastern U.S. which were hardest hit by the first surge of patient cases, according to the study published in the
Journal of Hospital Medicine. There is a general narrative among people in healthcare that the more resources there are, the better we can take care of patients, said lead author Dr. Alexander Janke, a Yale Emergency Scholar in the fourth year of a five-year combined residency and health services research fellowship. This study begs the question are case fatality rates driven by changes in resources?
