Dear Editor,

I would like to say thank you to the staff at Yampa Valley Medical Center for the care they gave me before, during and after my surgery — the doctors, nurses, physical therapist, occupational therapist, respiratory therapist, the diabetes educator and the nurse navigator for the joint replacement.

And the care that my wife received while I was in the hospital. She was treated like she was a patient, too, with kindness. Thank you for the people who have been praying for my surgery and my recovery and the support you have given my wife and me.

Gilbert Stehle
