Harry shares his experience with the program
Harry arrived at the Emergency Room with a urinary tract infection. After being approached about the service and being informed Hospital From Home was an option for him rather than be admitted to the hospital, he opted for the program where everything he needed for a comfortable recovery was provided. Within a few hours he was back home, and everything he needed was delivered to his door.
