A PLACE TO HEAL

In This Issue: YOUR MOMENTS

John DiRosa was the first of 270 people to move into the new Providence Care Hospital. It’s a place where he is inspired to learn to walk again. A short Sunday morning drive a few kilometres down King Street made a world of difference for John DiRosa of Brighton. He was, after all, the first patient to be transferred from St. Mary’s of the Lake Hospital to the new Providence Care Hospital (PCH). He was greeted— as all patients from St. Mary’s and the Mental Health Services site were greeted—with a warm welcome at the new hospital.

A few minutes later, he gazed out at the water from his new room at PCH. He softly explained to a reporter that the beautiful new building and amazing staff provide him with hope. “It’s a chance to get back to my life, because my longterm goal is to walk again.” History was made on April 23, as patients moved into the new hospital—a hospital that was only made possible through the generosity of donors like you!
