I fell in Tsawwassen on my way to yoga. I was picked up off the sidewalk by a truck driver and flag girl who took me to KinVillage.

The staff there were caring, helpful and compassionate calling my husband who was advised to take me to the hospital. All of these people were fantastic.

I spent many hours at our hospital and listened to people moaning about the time it was taking to get any help with their ailments.

I cannot say enough about the care and the compassion that was shown to people in emergency by all the staff. Everyone who is employed there deserves a medal for what they do every day, not the complaints and the condemnation people shell out.

I was treated by Dr. Shaw. What a great doctor who explained everything in detail so that I could understand what was going on. The young porter named Tima was so caring and concerned about me when she took me to X-ray.

I watched as the compassionate nurses and aides dealt with seniors who were in beds and needed walking assistance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Delta Hospital for being a much-needed part of our health service. You are doing an incredible job.
