After a life spent in and out of hospital, a simple steak and vegies left Joel facing the prospect of another lengthy stay.

A hospital stay can prove challenging for anyone—living in a sterile room, away from the comfort of your home, friends and family. For those with chronic illnesses the idea of another extended hospital stay can prove unbearable.

Thankfully Metro North Hospital and Health Service’s Hospital in the Home (HITH) service enabled Joel to return home to his family and beloved dogs to receive the remainder of his care in a safe and timely manner. More importantly, his partner is assured that she has the support needed to help Joel safely recover.
