“My best memory of the Ottawa Civic was November 22, 2019.
My older brother, Glenn, who was 60 at the time, had just had a heart attack in Kemptville. He was rushed to the Civic by ambulance from Kemptville General.
When we got word, our family quickly gathered at the hospital — full of stress, anxiety, and fear. The staff were incredible with us all, but especially with my sister-in-law, Donna, and, most importantly, my brother. They saved his life.
The staff, whatever role, but especially the doctor and nurses, were amazing. Caring. Thoughtful. Considerate. Sympathetic. Funny. Patient. Knowledgeable. They explained what transpired, what to expect, and what was next.
God bless them all and thank you for all you do daily, but selfishly, thanks for saving my big brother on November 22, 2019.”
