To all the staff at the Shawville Hospital,
I want to express my thanks and appreciation for the wonderful treatment, support and care you all showed me during my stay there.
I am proud to say I come from the Pontiac. We have the number one staff at our hospital. It makes a big difference in our recovery when they go the extra mile.
We are so lucky to be in a small community, believe me, going back and forth to Montreal is no picnic. There, you’re just a number. Here, you’re a human being.

I’d like to particularly thank my doctor, Pascal Croteau, he is one-in-a-million. My family and I can never thank him enough. We are so lucky to have him as a doctor. He is heaven sent.
I’d particularly like to thank the emergency department: Lee Robinson, Rita O’Reilly, Luc Blanchette, Dr. Soultain, Dr. Muchmore, Dr. Zakouri, Dr. Talko, Dr. Pinelo, Dr. Mayanfour, Dr. Croteau and others too numerous to mention.
Lina Lacroix, Thomas Drevnik, William Overton, Stephanie Francoeur, Nathalie Romain and all others on the second floor.
George Robataille, Nancy Alain, Cindy Farnell and all the secretaries, home care staff and orderlies at both the CLSC and the hospital.
A big thanks to Deacon Robert Farmer from Quyon who gives his time at the palliative care unit in the hospital. He is a big support for my friends, family and others.
I would like to thank my family and friends for the flowers, cards, phone calls and prayers. I love you all.
