I recently was an in-patient at the MUHC Lachine campus hospital from Oct. 24 to Nov. 10, 2011. I was pleasantly surprised with the level of patient care I received. I was treated with kindness and respect at all times from every level of the treatment team, privacy was present at bedside from the doctor and nurses.
With all my many allergies, other hospitals found it difficult to prepare even one meal, while Lachine was able to do this for 16 days without any incident or reaction to foods. I have asked several people their opinion of the Lachine hospital and every one had a very positive response themselves, or a friend or a family member.
There seems to be a real sense of dedication among the staff to care for others. I would encourage you to visit the hospital and see what the urgent needs are that will assist the hospital to better serve the patients. ‘Better care for life,’ will not only be on billboards but will be a true and heartfelt statement.
