To the editor,
Recently, I had the misfortune to awaken quite ill. My wife called 911, and my misfortune ceased. The EMTs and my wife got me to the hospital’s ER here in Iola.
The ER staff diagnosed me with pneumonia, and admitted me to the hospital. (A totally new experience — I have lived 46 years in the community and have had only outpatient care.)
My five days in the “old” hospital were quite a revelation. I cannot remember ever seeing a team of individuals work so well together. When a job was necessary, it seemed as if they all pitched in and made sure the task was done. Every one, and I mean every one, was infected with this “can-do-spirit.” I dare not name names for fear of missing one of the important care-givers at “old” ACH.
Imagine what this caring, efficient staff can do in the new facility. The results will be phenomenal and Allen County will have a super health-care organization. Thank you to all for your efforts to get me on my feet again and thank you for your efforts to make Allen County Regional Hospital an outstanding medical facility.
