Patient Updates
So happy to hear she is settling in and doing well. I saw her on a morning walk and kept going back to see how she was doing throughout the day in Deep Cove. So happy someone was able to come that evening to asses and make the call that she was hungry and alone and to bring her to MMR via Harbour Air!! I check in on her daily here :)
