Impressed with care
Cindy Westerhout
South Huron Hospital has a special place in our
hearts. Through our most recent experience, we
were very impressed with the care that our parents
received. The comfort of remaining in the commu-
nity with easy access to friends and family and the
personal touches of the staff were important con-
tributors to this. We also recognized the value of
strong connections to larger centres such as
Stratford General and London Health Sciences, and
as such, we are eager and honoured to support
SHHA's fundraising campaign. The technological
advancements and capital improvements outlined
are key to maintaining these connections and
improving care to the residents and visitors of
South Huron.
