For Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre
I recently visited Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre for an IV infusion. I was feeling quite nervous and anxious as I'm not a fan of needles. However, I was immediately put at ease by the warm and welcoming demeanour of Nurse Ginette and Justine. Nurse Ginette took the time to explain each step of the process, making sure I understood and felt comfortable, all while showing genuine compassion. Nurse Justine also went out of her way to ensure I was as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure. Their kindness and patience truly made a difference.
For Langley Memorial Hospital
My sister and I came to the Emergency Department at Langley Memorial Hospital due to an IPV situation, and Nurse Sara was truly the best human I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I was very much in protective sister mode but Sara took care of everything with such compassion and professionalism. Thank you, Sara, for the incredible care you gave us.
For Royal Columbian Hospital
Nurse Melanie, who was working in the ICU at Royal Columbian Hospital, was absolutely exceptional. Her care, compassion and professionalism went above and beyond, and she truly made a difference during a very difficult time for our family.
For Surrey Memorial Hospital
Dr. Storness-Bliss is an incredible doctor at Surrey Memorial Hospital who truly listens and treats you as a person, not just a patient. She performed my laparoscopic hysterectomy, and her compassion, sense of humour and professionalism made the experience incredibly reassuring. I was discharged the same day and my recovery has been smooth and easy. I’m beyond grateful for her and her amazing team.
For Surrey-Whalley Urgent and Primary Care Centre
I want to thank Chinyere, the social worker, and the entire team at Surrey-Whalley Urgent and Primary Care Centre. This centre is efficient and truly embraces a patient-centred approach to care. The patient support team over the phone is also excellent. In my opinion, the supportive staff—like social workers and medical office assistants—make a meaningful difference and set this centre apart.
