Last week I returned from having spent four nights at Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport for what began as a medical emergency. Before my stay, I had occasion to use Emergency Room services at the Rand over the years with satisfaction.

The treatment I received was professional and caring. We all know the challenges that the doctors and patients face when a hospital does not have all the testing equipment it needs. But that lack of equipment has made these doctors better doctors. They must solve problems through knowledge and professional experiences. They take a conservative approach when required. They take the time. They strive to know the patients. They smile. You feel confident.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the nursing staff and the surgical doctors: Drs. Thompson, Kemp, Corral, Massey, Santos , Storr and Nesbitt.  

Freeport is lucky to have the Rand and these doctors.
