Main Hospital Line. 536-5000 MOST OF US have had the honor of taking care of a loved one when they have needed medical care. In the past, we’ve taken for granted our ability to visit a loved one in the hospital. But as health care facilities across the globe take steps to save lives and prevent the spread of COVID-19, these simple acts of being present for our loved ones have been greatly limited. It takes a tremendous amount of trust to watch a loved one be escorted into the hospital for medical care while waiting outside. Yet we’ve received numerous comments and thank-you notes from grateful family members, who’ve recognized the attentive care their loved one received and the timely communication our doctors and nurses were able to provide about their loved one’s progress. As a woman with young children and aging parents, I am confident in the care our team provides and comforted by their thoughtfulness. Encouragement from family and friends plays a big role in healing and recovery, and being part of a strong community adds to our overall well-being. We are here for you as we continue to weather these challenging times, finding new ways to connect and support each other, physically, mentally and spiritually. God bless you and your family, Michelle Fuentes President We’re here for you in challenging times
