Letter to the editor: EAMC, Bethany House prove how much they care about patients

EAMC, Bethany House prove how much they care about patients
Several weeks ago, my mother called in a panic as my father was no longer able to walk or speak. When I arrived at their home, I immediately called 911 and within minutes, an ambulance was at the door.

When they confirmed that they couldn’t get the stretcher to where he was, a gentleman cradled my father in his arms and tenderly took him to the stretcher.  Within minutes, they were at EAMC and by the time my mother and I arrived, they had placed him in a bed and had started to check him over.

During the next two weeks, the men and women at EAMC cared for him as they would have taken care of their own father. The level of caring dignity was evident in everything they did for him.

I know it is their job to take care of those in the hospital, but the level of consideration is exemplary.

My father passed away early Monday morning after a brief stay at Bethany House. They, too, are angels who wear scrubs.

My point is I hope people of this area realize what a wonderful hospital we have here.

Thank you for each of you who greeted us at the door, who said “hello” and “good bye” at the elevator, the security personnel and every nurse or aide or anyone else who works there.
