“Love that this is a God-centered
hospital. Every time we come here, the
kids love reading the scripture verses
spread out throughout the hospital.
Jesus Christ is our great physician, and
He works through the staff here—that is
very evident. Thanks to all the staff; you
have always treated us like family.”
—J.B.
