We are so grateful for the care -- terrific in every way -- that my wife just received at Norwalk Hospital. Every single person who cared for her -- the ambulance team, the ER doctors and nurses, the cardiology doctors, the hospital nurses, the (truly outstanding) physicians assistant, the cleaning staff, the kitchen staff -- treated her with skill, kindness, and speed. Even the staff members we passed in the hallway greeted us as if we were guests. This kind of atmosphere must have been established at the top, and it really means a lot to patients and family members who are under stress. Especially important to us: every staff member was sensitive to my wife's immune suppression, wearing masks, isolating her for her safety, and keeping the hospital immaculately clean. After many visits to ERs in New York City, this was a major relief to us. Thank you to everyone who put in the extra effort to get my wife in and out of the hospital safely and quickly.
