Having experienced the original opening of Vernon Jubilee Hospital in 1951, my first visit to the new, “world-class” emergency department on Feb. 12, albeit under duress with an asthmatic condition, was a pleasant surprise.
The nursing staff, doctors, lab techs and office personnel are equal to any world-class hospital that I have experienced in the past.
Considering the cramped quarters and lack of resources, the emergency staff endured until last year, Vernon residents should consider themselves truly blessed with this new emergency facility.
My personal thanks to all of the “merge staff.”
