Grateful for Groves

I am writing to say just how very fortunate the people of Centre Wellington and Wellington County are to have such a wonderful facility as Groves Memorial Community Hospital.

I had the misfortune to become ill with some form of virus (not COVID-19) earlier this month. After consultation with my personal physician it was decided that I should attend the emergency department at Groves to undergo some testing to try and determine what was causing my illness. I made two visits separated by a day to complete the various tests and to have a physician “look” me over.

I don’t believe that I can properly express my gratitude to the staff at the hospital. They did a phenomenal job of completing their tasks expeditiously and in a kind and caring manner. Every individual I encountered - doctors, nurses, clinicians, administrative and clerical staff - all made the process as smooth and easy as possible. Despite being ill it was a wonderful and reassuring experience.

So, a really big shout out to the staff at GMCH and the wonderful job they are doing in what is a very stressful time.

Many, many thanks.
