“The two noblest professions are nursing and teaching.” With that statement, Howard Fromson provided a bright glimpse into the philanthropic interests that he shares with his wife, Sandy. Through several experiences at Hartford Hospital, they have come to appreciate the “extraordinary care” provided by the staff. Last year, following one of those events, the Fromsons continued their longtime support by making a wonderfully generous gift to directly benefit the Hospital’s nurses. “Nurses are the heart and soul of the hospital,” said Sandy, “always on the front line, 24-7, often required to make quick-second decisions. And the nursing skills we saw this last time were consistent with what we had experienced before, coupled with warmth and understanding especially for families.” Those skills came to light late in 2008 when Howard fell on an escalator and hit his head. He was attended to at an out of town hospital, including a CAT scan that indicated he was fine. But weeks later, he noticed changes in his speech and reaction times. “Something didn’t feel right, so my son brought me to the emergency room at Hartford Hospital,” explained Howard. “I was immediately diagnosed with a subdural hematoma and underwent surgery the next day. Dr. [Paul] Schwartz performed the most miraculous and straight-forward surgery.” In Sandy’s eyes, Dr. Schwartz, a neurosurgeon, is the epitome of what one would want in a surgeon. “He didn’t see Howard as just someone who required surgery, he took the time to get to know him as a person,” she added. “And he learned that Howard, at 87, worked full time and was an artist, inventor and businessman. Dr. Schwartz’s skill, care and thoughtfulness really impressed me.” The Fromsons also were impressed with the partnership in caring attitude exhibited by the staff. “They understood that it took the whole family to get well again,” said Sandy. “As busy as they were taking care of things on the medical end, they treated everyone with care and understanding – which was especially appreciated by family members in angst.” In what Sandy described as a new “lease on life,” Howard’s recovery went very well. He returned to work full-time and enjoyed their annual family vacation last Christmas, which included all 18 family members. “It was the best family get-together ever,” she reported. “Of all the institutions we support, Hartford “As busy as they were taking Howard and Sandra Fromson Hospital has a very special care of things on the medical end, they treated everyone place because of its caring with care and understanding …” and talented staff,” added Howard.
