 I came here as a child and watched this hospital grow, and I've been in and out of here myself many times. The nursing staff here is extraordinary. What prompted my recent contributions was the care my wife got here when she died. The CCU staff was absolutely tremendous. I just knew she was in good hands. The care was wonderful. The caring was even better. Concerned for not only your health but your attitude and your mental state were all on their minds. I view this hospital as part of my life. It needs to be supported not only financially but in its talk around town. The physicians and other nurses that I know who work here deserve to be recognized for their skill. The recent change to hack and sack gradient has brought changes that rival any hospital I know about or have been in. Our hospital has expanded and so much of that you can just trace to the contributions of the auxiliary. Three million dollars for the expansion of the emergency room. Two and a half million dollars for our nuclear accelerator. And now we've pledged two and a half million for the robotic surgeries. Our gift shop here in the hospital is small but we like to feel we contribute to. I'm not sending my money to some far-off place. The work I do actually helps when I need to be here. I know I can count on it. We don't have to go anywhere else. You don't have to come and see a doctor here that says, jeez I'd like to help you but you need to go up to some other hospital. The potential in this hospital is bar none. We're like a shooting star and you know, hit your wagon to it because we're going places.
