LETTER: SRMC provided excellent care

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Bishop Mark J. Schwarz, Presiding Bishop of the North American Catholic Ecumenical Church. I recently had the distinct pleasure of being a patient at SRMC, first in the ER, and then up on the fifth floor where I was cared for over the course of three days.

It is difficult for me to choose how to begin this letter of praise, as there was so much to be thankful for. Let me start by saying that I choose SRMC over and over again because of the incredible staff they have assembled. They are, to a person, amazing. No matter the job being done, each person performs the task with integrity, competence, discretion and exudes a sense of pride and satisfaction. SRMC has assembled the perfect team. Every department, from Environmental Services right through to Nursing, dietary, Pharmacy, Rehab, demonstrates a dedication to top-notch patient care.

I must also say that the fifth-floor staff demonstrated a level of care, compassion, dedication, dignity and trust, turning a cold clinical environment in to a place that felt more like home, soothing, safe; and the staff seemed more like family than anything else.

If asked, I will always recommend SRMC to anyone needing medical care.

In gratitude, I am,

Mark J. Schwarz
