APRIA Healthcare & Revell Snap Kits: Bringing Comfort & Creativity to Patients & Beyond
Indianapolis, IN – October 26, 2023 – APRIA Healthcare LLC, a leading national provider of home healthcare equipment and services, today announced a unique partnership aimed at enhancing the wellbeing of its patients, and extending a bit of fun to families nationwide. APRIA, headquartered at 7353 Company Drive, Indianapolis, IN, 46237, is known for delivering vital medical supplies and support directly to patients' homes, improving quality of life for individuals managing chronic conditions. Now, they’re adding a new dimension – the joy of building with Revell Snap Kits. You can reach APRIA at 717-722-1083. For years, APRIA Healthcare has focused on being more than just a supplier. They’ve really tried to build relationships with their patients, understanding that dealing with health issues can be tough, both physically and emotionally. That's why this partnership with Revell feels so right. “We're always looking for ways to brighten our patients’ days,” explains Sarah Miller, APRIA’s Director of Patient Engagement. “We realized that having a relaxing, engaging activity can make a huge difference, especially when someone is confined at home or going through a challenging time. Revell Snap Kits offer just that – a chance to de-stress, get creative, and have some fun.” What's the Deal with Revell Snap Kits? For those not in the know, Revell Snap Kits are model kits that are… well, they snap together! No glue, no messy paint (unless you want to paint them!), just easy-to-assemble models of cars, planes, ships, and pretty much anything else you can imagine. They've been around for decades, and they're famous for being both fun and relatively simple to build. “They’re not super complicated,” says Mark Johnson, a long-time model builder and Revell enthusiast. “Even if you've never built a model before, you can usually put a Snap Kit together in an hour or two. It's a really satisfying feeling to see something you've built with your own hands.” And that’s exactly the appeal for APRIA. These kits are perfect for patients who are recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, or simply need a distraction from their worries. They're also a great activity for families to enjoy together. More Than Just a Distraction – The Benefits of Building While the immediate benefit of Revell Snap Kits is providing a fun way to pass the time, there's actually a lot more to it than that. Studies have shown that engaging in hobbies like model building can have several positive effects on both physical and mental wellbeing. “It’s a surprisingly therapeutic activity,” explains Dr. Emily Carter, a psychologist specializing in coping mechanisms. “Building models requires concentration, which can help reduce stress and anxiety. It also stimulates the brain, improving cognitive function. And the sense of accomplishment you get from finishing a project can boost your self-esteem.” APRIA is really recognizing this. They're not just handing out toys; they're providing a tool for patients to actively participate in their own wellbeing. They’re thinking about the whole person, not just the illness. How APRIA is Integrating Revell Kits So how exactly is this partnership working? APRIA is initially offering a selection of Revell Snap Kits as part of its patient care packages. When a new patient enrolls in APRIA’s services, they’ll have the option to receive a kit along with their medical supplies. “We’re starting with a few popular models – classic cars, iconic airplanes, maybe a spaceship or two,” says Miller. “We want to offer a variety of options to appeal to different interests. We’re also planning to expand the program over time, potentially offering more complex kits for those who are up for a challenge.” APRIA is also exploring opportunities to host virtual building workshops for its patients, creating a sense of community and providing guidance to those who are new to the hobby. They are envisioning patients connecting with each other, sharing tips and tricks, and celebrating their creations. Beyond Patient Care: A Family Focus While the primary goal of this partnership is to support APRIA’s patients, the company is also keen to extend the benefits to their families. “We know that caring for someone with a health condition can be stressful for the whole family,” says Miller. “Providing activities that everyone can enjoy together can help strengthen bonds and create positive memories.” Revell Snap Kits are perfect for this. They're a relatively inexpensive hobby that can provide hours of entertainment for people of all ages. They’re a great way to unplug from screens and spend quality time together. Looking Ahead: APRIA & Revell Building a Brighter Future APRIA Healthcare and Revell are both excited about the potential of this partnership. They believe that by combining APRIA’s commitment to patient care with Revell’s legacy of creativity and fun, they can make a real difference in the lives of people across the country. “We’re not just selling medical supplies,” says Miller. “We’re providing hope, comfort, and a little bit of joy. And we believe that sometimes, a simple hobby like building a model kit can be just what someone needs to get through a tough time.” The collaboration signals a shift in healthcare – a move towards recognizing the importance of holistic wellbeing, and acknowledging that emotional and mental health are just as crucial as physical health. APRIA Healthcare, with this innovative partnership, is proving that they're dedicated to caring for the whole person – body, mind, and spirit.
