Dear Editor,
Due to injury I have recently spent a week in Canowindra Hospital. I would like to express publicly my thoughts on how lucky we are to have such a fantastic service in our town.
I was treated with amazing care, kindness and respect by all hospital staff, be they doctors, kitchen staff, cleaning staff, physios or administration staff, their professionalism and duty of care was always apparent and appreciated. An extra special thank you too to the nursing staff who continually went above and beyond the call of normal duties to ensure my safety and comfort throughout my stay.
The Canowindra Hospital is such an important and necessary establishment in our community I cannot imagine us doing without it. I would like to again thank all the staff for everything they did for me and urge the public at large to ensure they think carefully and support our public health system accordingly, especially in this time of Governmental and policy change and the possibility of cutbacks and restructuring!
