We just wanted to share an excerpt of a social media post by one of the members of our community. Sometimes visits are hard. But our staff works hard to show compassion even when those visits don't have the outcome we want. Here is an excerpt of her post (used by permission.)

"I just want to give the biggest heart felt thank you to everyone working in the Fitzgibbon emergency room yesterday. My grandmother was taken from the Living Center to the emergency room. The doctor (Dr. Gray) was in her room within a couple of minutes going thoroughly through her paperwork that was sent over. Within just 5 minutes of being in that room she had every order in imaginable to get to the bottom of what was going on. My grandmother had just recently had surgery at Boon 8 days prior. Everyone hustled around getting her scans done immediately. The nurse was very informative and kept me updated the whole time. The doctor came in not long at all after running tests saying she was septic, had pneumonia, and was in renal failure. A short time later she started slipping away. By that time she had told me she wasn't going to make it much longer. When she slipped the nurse flew out of that room running so fast to get the doctor and nurses. There had to be at least 6 or 7 nurses that came from nowhere into her room with one girl jumping straight on that bed (doing CPR) while everyone else surrounded her. The social worker Karen Moss (who we later realized worked with my grandma and actually knew her at one point) stayed by my side and showed me so much love and compassion. The nurses and literally just exhausted themselves doing CPR and every one of them made a point to reach out telling me how thankful they were. I felt this needed to be shared to let everyone know just how extra this place has become lately and how much they are doing. I have been there myself recently and I know I have seen nothing but good things from every doctor and clinic we have been to. The team working in the emergency room yesterday were absolute Rockstars. I whatever my grandma's story just so everyone could get a small glimpse as to what our little hospital is doing now. While my grandma was past the point of saving, she had the absolute best care anyone could have ever received in their life. If you were in that emergency room yesterday and helped I just want to say a big THANK YOU!!" - Kendra Stafford

We are receiving tremendous feedback from patients who have had a total knee replacement done by Jacob Elfrink, MD. As someone who grew up here and came home to take care of his community, we wouldn't expect anything less. Here is a video with comments from just one of these patients. If you are dealing with knee pain, maybe its time to call for an appointment with Fitzgibbon Orthopedic and Sports Medicine. (660)886-8414.
