KOOTENAI HEALTH: Thank you

It is with deep gratitude I want to thank all of the EMTs and caregivers at Kootenai Health that were fully committed toward saving my life and restoring my health during my recent, unexpected, 19-day inpatient hospital stay. My family and I got an impressive glimpse into the managers, hospitalists, surgeons, nurses, CNAs, phlebotomists, anesthesiologists, lab technicians, dieticians, occupational therapists, physical therapists, transporters, greeters and more were devoted and dedicated to keeping me safe, comfortable, informed and progressing toward recovery.

I enjoyed meeting so many kind individuals hailing from five continents and many states in addition to lifelong locals. Everyone worked as a team. I am in awe of so much pure medical expertise in our little part of Idaho. It is because of their extraordinary care and devotion that I am alive and now thriving!
