Dear Mr. Courtois, As I sit at my desk on a Sunday afternoon dictating charts for next Tuesday's surgeries in Abilene I think about what a wonderful staff and facility you provide for me at your hospital. From pre-op, to surgery, to post-op, you couldn't have a finer more polished crew who work very hard to create an excellent experience for our shared patients. Under the steady guidance of Carol Ross, the crew of Sandy Rein, Melissa Taplin, Penny Gaetz, Jan Garrett, Brent Wilson, Teresa Hudson, Anne Rose, and new hire Curtis Osland deliver exceptional care and courtesy that can only come from a wealth of experience. Your anesthetists Horace Jenkins and Danielle Stenger deserve plaudits for always keeping the patients calm and comfortable and give me the confidence to do even the most complicated surgeries in your facility. Thank you! Sincerely, Gary B. Weiner, M.D.

ER Staff, Thank you all for taking such good care of me the many times I came to the ER in April and May. I know I was a "hot mess" there for several weeks. I appreciate all your understanding.

I was so impressed from the moment I first stepped into the facility and continued thought my short stay. Everyone was so caring, very professional, explained procedures and answered questions, making my surgery successful. I can't thank the staff enough!! Merry Christmas!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the wonderful care I received while I was a patient at MHS. You are all appreciated for all you do and the kindness you exhibit. Blessings to all.

Thank you very much for your attention and care this morning. I have been to many hospitals and this is unfortunately not something often found. - G.A.

What an amazing staff. My doctor sent me to you for an emergency MRI and then achilles surgery. I don't remember everyone's names, but from the minute I walked in the door, I was treated with kindness and compassion. The lady in admittance was so friendly. I remember Jarod who did my MRI. The first, amazing nurse I spoke to, I told her getting an iv made me nervous so she had Brent take care of me. He warmed my arm and did a great job. Then the amazing anesthesiologist who made me feel less nervous about the surgery. I wish I could remember all of their names. This hospital was first class all the way. Thank you all for making my stay as pleasant as it could be.

Dear Erica and the amazing staff in Abilene ED! Thank you so much for your assistance to Salina Tech Associate Degree Nursing students! Your willingness to be a clinical site has allowed the nursing students the ability to expand their knowledge, skills, and attitudes for safe, patient-centered care. We look forward to our return in the spring of 2023 because we appreciate and value the partnership. Have a wonderful summer, Markie

Everyone in the ER - It was with a grateful heart that Deann was on duty as I have known her and her professionalism for years. The rest of you all followed in her footsteps and are so appreciated. Thanks for everything - Blessings

I can't say enough about the compassion and attention that I received from the staff today. I had orders for some imaging and through an unintentional error on how the order was written the full evaluation was initially not performed. I talked to the ultrasound tech, Danielle, who immediately went to work to fix the issue, even walking over to the physician's office to clarify what he wanted. As it turned out further imaging was required so she patiently explained to me what would be necessary and extended my visit to accommodate that additional imaging at the same appointment. She was caring, compassionate and professional and she went above and beyond in trying to help solve the problem and get my needs taken care of. She COULD have sent me home and asked me to straighten it out with the doctors office and schedule another appointment and it would have been a reasonable expectation. Thank you!

My mother was recently at Memorial Hospital. You all couldn't have been more caring and helpful. Thank you so much.
