Doug Kurtz

Doug Kurtz , LPN
Alternate Solutions Home Care

At Alternate Solutions, Doug works as an LPN in the field to follow many of our patients requiring skilled care. He is welcomed into his patient’s homes because he takes the time to get to know them and during visits will share jokes as well as knowledge. In the community, Doug volunteers in his “spare” time for the Center for Infants and Children with Special Needs through Dr. Ron Leven’s office at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. He has helped to coordinate the Special Needs Golf Outing thru Dr. Ron’s office which has in turn helped raise funds to increase skilled staff in the office and provide medical care to children in the tri-state area. He also voluntarily chairs the Dayton Area Crohns and Colitis Support Group. As a Crohns Disease patient himself, he completely understands how it takes an entire healthcare team to treat his disease and many other diseases. To those of us who are fortunate to work with him, he is genuinely an exceptional person to talk to and he is a wonderful listener. He is currently back in school to work towards being an RN. We are truly thankful to have Doug in our company family.
