A Personal Tribute to Dr. Jeff Reinhart & Drew Memorial Health System

Dear Citizens of Drew County, As my family came to the end of my wife’s ten-year battle with Alzheimer’s Disease, I wanted to share with the community some of the valuable lessons we learned about the medical care in our community. When Kaye was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, I vowed to provide her with the best care available. We identified a neurology clinic that specialized in Alzheimer’s care in Dallas in 2011 and have worked with those doctors and local physicians to ensure that promise was kept. My wife was admitted to Drew Memorial recently with severe dehydration accompanied by pneumonia in both lungs. Being in late stage Alzheimer’s, Kaye was critically ill. Dr. Byrd and his staff in the ER did an expedient job of implementing the initial treatments prescribed by her admitting physician, Dr. John Jerius. Upon moving to the floor, Dr. Jeff Reinhart designed an aggressive medical plan that gave her the best chance to overcome the pneumonia and be released to come back to our home for comfort care. The Drew Memorial floor staff did an excellent job of executing the plan. Anyone who has spent time in a hospital knows the floor of a hospital is extremely busy with a lot of moving parts. The staff did an exemplary job in all areas of patient care and communication. The longer we stayed the more personal the care became and the more confident my family was that Kaye was receiving excellent treatment. An added blessing was that two caregivers were Kaye’s former students from the Health Occupations course at Monticello High. That was a sweet feeling! “When I get a referral from Dr. Several years ago, I suffered a stroke and was also treated by Dr. Reinhart. Dr. Reinhart’s Reinhart his patients have been treated diagnostic and treatment ability was confirmed by a neurologist at Little Rock Diagnostic Clinic in Little Rock in a follow-up visit after my stroke. The doctor’s first statement to me correctly and he documents the case was, “When I get a referral from Dr. Reinhart his patients have been treated correctly and he documents the case properly. This is not the typical case with most of my properly. This is not the typical case referrals!” with most of my referrals!” Drew County is fortunate to have a clinician like Dr. Reinhart and a hospital like Drew Memorial. We are truly blessed with all of the capable and hard- working medical professionals in our community. I need them. You need them. - Neurologist from Monticello needs them. Drew Memorial needs them. I encourage each of us to support our local medical community and our Little Rock Diagnostic Clinic nice, new Drew Memorial Hospital. Monticello deserves to be a leaderas in regional medical care.
