My Grandpa Redden always met his patients where they were in life. He believed sometimes just listening to someone's story was the greatest medicine they needed. He didn't judge but instead focused on helping them solve the problems at hand. He offered what we may refer to as indigent care in modern times, because he unequivocally saw the value in each patient even when they didn't have the resources themselves to pay. He treated his patients as family.
I've been keeping his legacy alive through Redden Gardens and the Covunity fridge. Now I can also honor his medical legacy... I'm excited to partner with the Northern Kentucky Health Department to offer a wellness kiosk to the community at the site of his former medical practice. Rooted in harm reduction, the kiosk like the fridge meets people where they are and offers help for immediate, acute needs.
