For Abbotsford Regional Hospital
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful nurses, Nurse Practitioner Jane and Dr. Rezazadeh and Dr. Elmayergi for the exceptional care they provided to my dad during his nine-day stay in the hospital. Dr. Rezazadeh, your kindness truly stood out—stopping in the parking lot and rolling down your window to ask how my dad was doing was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. Thank you so much!
For Delta Hospital
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Poon, Dr. Jones, Dr. Cavanagh and the amazing nurses—Trisha from Surgical Daycare, Ruby and Bea from the Operating Room and John in Recovery. Your kindness and compassion meant so much and were deeply appreciated.
For Ridge Meadows Hospital
I unexpectedly gave birth in the Ridge Meadows Hospital parking lot outside the emergency room. Your swift, compassionate care made all the difference. Your empathy, professionalism and kindness turned a frightening moment into one of safety and reassurance. My entire family and I are forever grateful for your support. Thank you.
For Royal Columbian Hospital
My heartfelt thanks to all the staff, doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians, physiotherapists and occupational therapists for their kindness, support and care. I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart ❤️ to everyone at Fraser Health for taking care of my daughter and giving us a new lease on life.
For Peace Arch Hospital
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Koehn, attending nurse Jamey and the entire staff for the exemplary care I received during my emergency room visit. Dr. Koehn's upbeat demeanor, clear explanations and efficiency were truly outstanding. I also appreciated the opportunity to learn more about my condition during this visit than on previous ones. Thank you for your exceptional care!
For Surrey Memorial Hospital
I would like to commend Stephanie from the Audiology Testing Clinic. I recently underwent a balance test and was immediately impressed by her calming presence and clear, informative approach. She explained the procedure in a concise and personable manner, quickly putting me at ease. Throughout the test, she checked in regularly to ensure I was comfortable and ready to proceed.
