Resources for Professionals:

At Kanawha Medical we understand the pressure that health care professionals experience everyday. Providing care and comfort to your patients is your top priority. Make Kanawha Medical part of your care team and let us ease the load.

We help patients choose the best product or service based on their health care provider's advice, while encouraging them to remain compliant with thier physician's orders. We work directly with patients and their insurance companies to coordinate their medical supply needs and remind them when it's time to reorder necessary items. In addition to meeting patients' supply needs, we make sure they understand how to use equipment and explain any safety topics clearly.

Kanawha also provides a number of relevant in-service programs for health care professionals. Topics such as equipment operation and safety, and using assistive devices for safety and independence are not only useful for providers, but can be presented to patient groups as well.

Driving and Dementia

For families who have a loved one suffering from dementia, the decision of when that loved one should cease driving can be a difficult one to make. Healthcare providers can provide an objective evaluation of the patient's abilities and help families protect their loved one and others from a potentially dangerous situation.
