Patients receiving infusion therapy at MyMichigan Medical Center Gladwin are benefiting from an improved treatment experience thanks to four new infusion therapy chairs designed to enhance comfort and relaxation during care.

The chairs were made possible by a $24,000 donation from MyMichigan Health Foundation, funded through proceeds from the annual Swing Into Wellness Golf Outing. This investment directly supports patients who often spend extended periods of time receiving infusion treatments.

The new chairs recline and feature built-in heating, allowing patients to rest more comfortably throughout their appointments. For individuals undergoing infusion therapy, comfort plays a critical role in reducing stress, easing physical discomfort, and creating a more positive care experience.

“These chairs may seem like a small change, but for our patients, they make a meaningful difference,” said Amanda Graybill, supervisor of infusion services, MyMichigan Medical Center Gladwin. “Providing a comfortable, warm place to rest during treatment helps ease the experience and allows patients to focus on healing.”

Infusion therapy can be physically and emotionally demanding, and enhancements like this help create a calmer, more welcoming environment for patients and their families. By prioritizing patient comfort, MyMichigan Medical Center Gladwin continues its commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care.

“It is rewarding to see how donor support translates into real comfort for patients during their treatment,” said Kelsey Killinger, director of fund development, MyMichigan Health Foundation. “Because of the generosity of our donors and Swing Into Wellness participants, we are able to invest in enhancements that directly improve comfort, dignity, and the overall experience for patients receiving care close to home.”
