ICU to the rescue! — When a man and his service dog named Boots were transferred via ambulance from North Has ngs Hospital to Belleville General Hospital’s ICU, the ICU staff embodied QHC’s “Imagine It’s You” value. The pa ent was unable to care for his dog, so staff took care of, fed, watered and walked Boots. The pa ent’s family, who live four hours away, were unable to make the journey to Belleville to pick up Boots so he caught a ride back to Bancro with a nurse heading that way. The family then picked Boots up in Bancro . The pa ent was very grateful and con nued to recover in the ICU knowing that his li le pal was safe and sound. Thanks to everyone involved!
A job well done — “My recent visit to PECMH Emergency was a textbook example of what a hospital experience should be. From the triage nurse on, everybody was helpful and the wait me was reasonable. The examina on was thorough and the staff was very friendly. Dr. LeBlanc explained every detail to us and the follow up treatment by Dr. Beach was superb. It le us with a warm feeling that these professionals care about you and that's what counts. Thank you for a job well done.” ‐ A grateful paƟent Pictured from leŌ: Dr. Sarah Leblanc, Dr. David Beach, and Registered Nurses Amy Weir, Jessica Mossey, and Kim Leonard.
