Samaritan Hospital staff thanked

On the 26th of July our father fell and broke his hip and needed surgery for it.

We would like to say that our experience with the staff at Samaritan Hospital was exceptional and we couldn't be more pleased in how our father was cared for there in the ER, the Surgical Ward and on the Second Floor. What a great group of nurses and service personnel!

Many thanks also to our family physician Dr. Luther Thompson, Dr. De Castro and the surgical skills of Dr. Canfield.

These doctors put in many relentless hard hours of work and care to those they treat. Their exceptional work is reason to celebrate that they are the pride of Moses Lake's Physician's Who's Who.

The nursing staff was equally awesome!!!! So thank you to Marian Oliyan, Mari Donaldson, Amber Dacy, Kathy Hines, Alex Stehr, Cheryl Berreth, and the PT's Bonnie Perkins, Eric Olson and Janice ? and those we may not have mentioned here.

You all are very much appreciated for your labors and how you serve our community and you deserve so much more than this thank you.

You all are in the trenches working diligently and this family has been blessed because of it.

We also would like to thank the greatest Early Responders and EMT's that Grant County has in our Fire Department personnel.

Thank you Brett Bastian! Also, to our wonderful neighbors and friends who have visited and supported Dad through prayers and visits, we love you all!
