A Heartfelt Thank You to D Wing Staff.

We recently received a touching note from the daughter of a former patient, expressing her deep gratitude to the staff of D Wing. She wrote to thank the team for the compassion, professionalism, and care her loved one received during their time with us.
Her kind words are a powerful reminder of the difference your work makes every day. We’d like to share this note as a thank-you to all of you for your ongoing dedication and empathy.

"Hello, my dad, Tom, was just released from RML last week and I wanted to thank the health care staff that went above and beyond. I would like to thank the following D-wing staff members: Elijah, Fil, Samuel, speech therapist Roger, Nicole PCT, KeKe, Alicia/Jackie and the rest of the OT/PT team. My dad has since had his trach removed, no doubt from the excellent care he received there. Thank you!"

Well done, D Wing—your efforts don’t go unnoticed!

"Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory, or an acceptance of the way things are. Instead, it's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, things do get better. America can change. " — Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States, Civil Rights Attorney
