Don: I can not believe what I see around here at Shands at University of Florida. These people are extremely good at what they do. I have to tip my hat to everyone I have met so far. Maybe it is the fact that we are dealing with our own very bad illness but I am here to tell you that we have met more than our share of Angels since we have been here. I really wouldn’t want to be any where else. The quality of care can’t be beat but it is the caring that really shines so brightly.

I don’t want to take anything away from the Doctors, nurses and others (all the way to food service and maintance employees) at any other hospital, including BMC. It takes special people to work with the stresses that come with your customers being sick and still be able to maintain positive attitudes and a good enviroment for the patients. BMC is one of the Top 50. That’s what it says on the t-shirt!!
