Editor,

I happened to be a patient today at WhidbeyHealth. Thank God, my visit was for routine exams. However, for whatever the reason it can be intimidating walking into a hospital —especially when I am, admittedly, a 66-year-young nervous ninny!

Being welcomed by the kindest and most welcoming staff, really calms my soul.

Thank you Cherie, Mia, Rachel and Roshanda for your welcoming and for your kindness.
