“During COVID I have had two experiences one as an employee during redeployment doing one-to-one and a happier experience having my Twins at Elliot. From temps being checked at the front door to the incredible RNs, LNAs, doctors , facilitates, and all staff it was amazing how hard all are working despite being short and sharing individuals with other departments and units. All just pick up the slack and give more than 100%. One nurse from L&D stayed with us longer and got us settled in Maternity while shifts changed due to sharing staff with critical departments. There was no complaining just team work. I feel proud to be part of this organization. I felt my whole family including my two new beans where safe and taken care of.

“The dedication of GPU LNAs, RNs and OTs is remarkable. Through changes in staffing, census, workflow, and covid demands. You all show up and conquer the day, continuing to provide the utmost quality and best care for those on our floor. "strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming things you once thought you couldn't". #GPUSTRONG #ELLIOTSTRONG”

“I recently had the pleasure of helping out on The Fitch unit. It is clear that the staff are working under enormous pressure, caring for so many patients, but through it all they remain positive, kind, and compassionate to both patients and each other. This is such a challenging time to work in patient care and it is evident that they are committed to giving all they can to help their patients get well and support their fellow colleagues on the floor however they can.”

“The MAs and PSRs have been pivotal in surviving this. They have been taking a lot of the heat from upset clients and patients and doing an amazing job!”

“I want to give a shout out to the incredible Respiratory Team at Elliot Hospital!! They are at the heart of the challenges associated with the Covid 19 pandemic, helping the very sick patients who require ventilators and high flow oxygen. What they are handling right now is unprecedented and they deserve our thanks and recognition for the tremendous amount of work they are doing every day and night. Stay strong!”

“To all Elliot Hospital physicians, nurses, and staff, "Thank you" seems so inadequate to express my sincere appreciation for all you do. As I have heard Dr. Baxter say many times, patients are choosing Elliot for their care and that is because of you! What you do is a true gift to humanity. The highest calling is to serve, and you do so with grace and wisdom. Thank you for serving!“

Dr Sadeghi is a very dedicated, thoughtful and compassionate doctor. I was so grateful to have had such kind, caring and very humble Doctor like her. Dr Sadeghi made that day, my Birthday bearable. “
