 Here's what patient Kim Clymer had to say...

“… every doctor knew what the other one was doing, which I liked because I’ve seen other instances in other hospitals where they had an orchestra with no conductor.  Here you had a conductor.”

“At St. Mary they don’t give up.  It would be easy to say, ‘he’s not going to make it,’ meaning me … but they kept trying and brought me back after 45 minutes.  That’s a long time.”

It just felt comfortable.  When I was here it felt like being at home.”
