JANUARY 2018 DONOR
STORY OF THE MONTH
After receiving life-saving treatment at Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital
following a devastating car accident, our generous donor (who prefers
to remain anonymous) purchased two new wheelchairs for the hospital valued
at more than $430. The wheelchairs were purchased in December 2017.
“A couple of weeks after my accident, I was in the process of rehabilitation
and discovered a shortage of wheelchairs in the hospital,” he said.
“The nursing staff and the physical therapists all did an excellent
job taking care of me. So my wife suggested that maybe we do something
to show our appreciation for the good work of the MDMH team. We thought
buying a couple of wheelchairs would show our gratitude and also help
other patients in the future.” He said his family has lived in Hamilton
for more than 10 years and uses the hospital exclusively for all their
healthcare needs. “It’s an excellent organization with wonderful
providers,” he said. “After a pretty dramatic emergency, the
staff did everything right and we are truly grateful.”
