To the Editor;
Thank you, Tobey Hospital. We are very fortunate to have a state-of-the-art emergency facility so close to our homes: The Baldwin Makepeace Emergency Center at Tobey Hospital – a remarkable asset to its surrounding communities. The care both in the ER and on the third floor was outstanding during my recent stay due to the tireless team of nurses and staff who care for patients day and night – even on holidays like Thanksgiving.
I recently spent fourteen consecutive days at Tobey Hospital including Thanksgiving day and part of the long weekend. I write this letter because I don’t think nurses, CNAs, and support staff receive enough recognition for their service. While the doctors and surgeons diagnose and perform magic in the OR, the nursing team keeps you alive and comfortable. They are the day-to-day lifeline, and they deserve our appreciation and respect.
So, in the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday that just passed, I want to thank everyone at Tobey Hospital. I am very grateful but hope I don’t have to see you for a while!
With respect and gratitude,
Wendy Michel Cullum, Marion
