WHAT OUR
PATIENTS SAY
Patient comments from around
our system remind us of the
reason we do what we do.
Hospice for Vermont and NH:
" My father's 'team' of people were
amazing. I don't know how they do it day
in and day out. My father loved everyone
that came to help him and make him more
comfortable. I couldn't be more thankful
for all the help and concern they also
showed for me. Thank you. "

Manchester:
" Kind, caring, respectful, efficient,
thorough caregivers from the
reception desk to the exit
door and everything in
between! "

listen and have patience. They are fabulous, the best and really
care. You mean so very much to me and my wife. "
From New London Hospital:
" NLH did an overall excellent job at providing care
for me. There were certain individuals who condescended on
me because I have a substance abuse disorder, but Dr. Stephen

and helpful in my recovery. I remain sober today
thanks to you. "

had a truly great experience. "
Medical Center:
" All the providers-the
pre-op nurse who placed
the IV, the surgeon, the
anesthesiologist, the
post-op nurse-all were
outstanding. I can't think
of anything they could
have done better. "
