AHS Patients Say Thank You
 

From Arbour-Fuller Hospital:

• I’ve never learned so much about my depression and anxiety until coming to the EATS Program. Better yet, the coping skills are even more important. I also have never been treated with dignity in places like this until I came to Arbour-Fuller. I will be forever grateful for the learning experience and of course, the EATS unit staff. - Thank you.”


From Arbour-HRI Hospital:

• “Thanks to all of you, I finally feel as if I am getting my life back on the right track again ... It is reassuring to know that should I need further guidance and support at some time in the future, I could return to [GAP] for a ‘refresher course.’”

• “[The doctor] is very sharp and attentive to my needs … one of the best doctors I’ve met (and I’ve seen a lot).”

• “I just want to commend a couple employees that were there while I was there. They made such an impact on me in the 4 weeks I was there. I was on the women’s unit. [The staffers] should be granted 1 wish each, that’s how amazing they all were to me ... I was depressed away from my kids, and them everyday taking the time out just to come see me and how I was doing made me feel so special. I think you as a hospital should give out awards .... I love them... all thanks.”

From The Boston Center:

• “I personally wanted to take the time to give thanks to the entire community of The Boston Center; you have helped me overcome a big speed bump in the road that I am driving down and I am so very appreciative of the effort that you have all put into helping others and myself who deal with depression and many other mental disorders ... I still may have a long road ahead by you have shown me a shortcut with all the coping skills I have learned so that I will get there faster.”

From Pembroke Hospital:

• “You were such a blessing. You helped me realize who and what I am. I was such a mess at times I thought I was just damaged goods. You always were strict but soft, never getting too comfortable to allow me to keep my attention on getting better instead of feeling at home there. I looked forward to your shifts. You also helped me realize that my anger at others was a manifestation of my readiness to leave. Please pass on my love and gratitude to [the staff].”
