Dear Editor:

Several generations of my family have come to the region since the 1890s and visited St. Andrews Hospital since its inception. We were sorry to see its passing. However, the past week I arrived with a delicate surgical wound that suddenly needed immediate attention. The staff of the Urgent Care could not have been more reassuring, professional and so hospitable. Their treatment made me feel more secure so that I could enjoy my stay. The spirit and care of St. Andrews has been continued
