KOOTENAI HEALTH: Thank you to an amazing team

Following an accident in June, I found myself in the care of some truly extraordinary healthcare professionals at Kootenai Health, and I cannot thank them enough.

While I was in no condition to remember every name early on, I will never forget the compassionate care I received from the ER, CT, X-ray, transport, and 3S PCU pre-op teams. My pre-op nurse was amazing, and the post-op team took exceptional care of me.

Sincere thanks to Dr. Tyler Johnson, Dr. Gregory Staeheli, and their attentive teams who continue to guide my recovery. I also want to express deep gratitude to Dave in transport and my incredible care team in the Ortho recovery wing: Cindy, Lily, Sage and her late-night X-ray Sister, Katie, Maysun, Angel, Shawn, Julianna from PTand Bill from OT!

The KH balance sheet is no-doubt substantial, but my experience was that their people are by far and away their most valuable asset!

Again, thank you ALL so much!
