Kudos & Recognition
Excela Health Westmoreland Hospital “I met literal angels tonight at Excela Health Westmoreland Hospital in Greensburg. Their staff went over, above, and beyond the call of duty for my son and I tonight. As a parent of a special needs child, I highly recommend them! From the start, Samantha and her helper were amazing. Calm, understanding and very caring. The love these amazing women put into their profession was more than admirable. Absolute heroes in my book. We need more humans like you in this world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!”
