Samaritan’s Health Care Heroes Recognized May 5, 2020 In honor of national Nurses Week and Hospital Week, Samaritan is celebrating its own health care heroes through the kind words and testimonials from patients and loved ones who have written to share their appreciation. The following testimonials are but a few from health care facilities in the valley and on the coast, submitted through Samaritan Hospital Foundation’s Champions of Care program. Valley Care Facilities “Appreciate your service to me and my husband in his last days. And the excellent care you give me year-round.” “Great 4 years of dedicated service. You’ve never failed. Always took the time and patience for this old lady. All with such a compassionate heart. Now, that’s dedication!” “I’m sure glad that I switched to the Samaritan doctors, nurses, clinics, and the hospital personal. I’m very happy with it.” “Thank you for giving me the VERY FINEST OF CARE POSSIBLE. I will let the Mayo Clinic know they have some catching up to do!!!” Coastal Care Facilities “All of the nurses and staff who helped me were terrific and were helpful in my recovery – it was like being cared for by a relative. Thank you!” “I was seen twice in two weeks for different ailments and I was treated with courtesy, thoughtfulness, was listened to and everyone was competent. Thanks. Keep it up.” “Thanks for the wonderful care. Always above and beyond!” “Thanks for caring for myself and my wife. We appreciate your thoroughness and spending time with us to answer all our questions. Also thank you for the integrity you apply to all situations.” After an emergency surgery, patient Suzy Conway was so moved by the care she received, she wrote an inspiring story about her experience.
