"As I walk the halls that I have known over 13 years now, my sense of pride in this institution grows daily. At some point you meet and greet someone in every aspect of a working hospital and each person smiles back at you. I am continuously amazed at the many helpful and friendly gestures our employees give to visitors and patients alike. Just as important, we are compassionate to each other, and it is this compassion we give back to our patients. They are why we are here."
