I have recently had two experiences at Jefferson Memorial Hospital, and I was greatly impressed with both.

On Dec. 14, I had to visit the Emergency Room via ambulance and was treated very professionally and with much care and concern. From the doctor and nurses to the x-ray department, echo tech and lab. Everyone was very knowledgeable and caring.

On Jan. 20, I returned as a surgical patient and, again, was treated with care and professionalism. Thank you to the admitting department, pre-op staff, O.R. staff, nurse anesthetist and nurses on the second floor. Your treatment of me is very much appreciated. Thank you, especially, to Dr. Murray and Dr. Kaznoski for your expertise in fixing my problems.

If you have not visited our local hospital lately, I would encourage you to use their facility for your health care needs. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the care you receive.

I would, also, like to thank my friends at Driswood and T.A. Lowery Elementary Schools for your flowers, cards, and words of encouragement. I hope to see you all soon.

Last, but not least, to my Galilean Baptist Church family. Thank you for your prayers, support and all the meals. You are truly a representation of Christian care and love.

And my family, for your support, food and expressions of love, I truly am grateful. I am so glad God blessed me with you all.
