Experience with National Jewish Health?

Posted by britchic @britchic, Aug 14 5:16am

Has anyone been to national jewish health that can share there experiences? My dr is recommending a visit to them but I live in wa state so would be quite a journey. I’ve been dealing with mac for 4 plus years. Taking azithromyacin and ethambutol. Couldn’t tolerate the big 3. Also on clophazamine and nebulizer and airway clearance 2 times day. I’m not really sure what else can be done but would love any input.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

I just returned last night from my first visit to National Jewish Health in Denver. I had Dr. Eddy and my husband and I were both very impressed. I was assigned an ambassador with whom I could communicate with through their MyChart (Intermountain Health). I sent questions to her before and during my visit. We stayed at Staybridge Suites, Denver, Cherry Creek. It is listed on the hospital's Web site and is discounted for their patients. They offer free Lift services daily to and from the hospital. (You just need to tip the driver.) They also have free Happy Hour food and drinks Monday-Wednesday evenings as well as complimentary breakfast. I highly recommend National Jewish Health.

A lot of helpful info about lodging, etc. is there on the website and many hotels offer special deals for patients at NJH. Mine included free Lyft vouchers too and from each day

@smtdoc I wonder what hotel it as. Last visit we stayed at double tree b Hilton- the 10 % discount on the room and free parking. Otherwise although I asked for a microwave we did not get one. There is one I. The hall but it’s not easy to take an elevator downstairs to use it
