Thankful For Local Hospital

Feb. 9, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: My introduction to our current health care system was at the Lexington Carilion Rockbridge Community Hospital. Recently, I had my very first major surgery, and I could not escape my fears and trepidation anticipating what this experience would be like for me.

The early morning admission process was simple, polite and informative. In short order, I was being prepared for surgery. The nurse, Dr. Patton and the anesthesiologist greeted me and explained what would happen next. I could easily feel the support and caring from this team of professionals. It was also apparent how well the team enjoyed each other and treated one another with respect. By the afternoon, I was in recovery and nursing staff came to check on me often.

Confidence and peace of mind often comes from those around you, and I was blessed with wonderful, professional and caring staff. My appreciation and thank you to Dr. Patton, Carman, Jessica Ray, Pam, Kimberly and Harley. I am thankful we have our own community hospital. DAVID PASSMORE Lexington
