Thanks for everything your teams have done, and continue to do. I don’t think we can really comprehend what it is like ‘on the ground’ and for such a prolonged period of time…

The dedication of doctors, nurses and others at both Picton and Belleville hospitals who have taken care of our nearly 100 year old mother is so impressive.

A great big thank you to the health profession in the area. Your work is exemplary and we feel fortunate to live in the Quinte region.

A huge thank you to all.

- Lisa Reddick

My mother-in-law was taken to ED yesterday morning and admitted to the 6th floor. We live up north, a fair distance from Belleville. The communication and professionalism demonstrated by all we have spoken to: switchboard operators, nurses, physicians has been top notch. We are so, so appreciative and feel our loved one is great hands. Thank you, thank you! We appreciate you.

The folks at QHC/BGH did an awful lot for me 1995-2015. I was down there on Thursdays, then Tuesdays, and then Tuesdays and Thursdays to 2015... I will never forget them for the rest of my life. I can't forget them, on my wall at Hastings Manor.

Sincere thanks to every single member of the QHC team, in every single role, within this amazing organization.

Thank you for all you have given. We are so grateful.

Kindest and most heartfelt gratitude to all of you at all QHC sites. Your conscientious and dedicated efforts, at great risk to yourselves and to your household families, are appreciated more than you can know.

- Frank Hiebert

Over the course of the past two years, I have been continually impressed by the dedication, resilience and fortitude of the physicians, nurses and all other staff members who work in QHC’s four hospitals. You have continued to offer the best patient experience possible to patients and you have demonstrated compassion and empathy towards family members and caregivers. At some point in time, the pandemic will become a distant memory but your commitment to serving those who walk through our hospitals’ doors will never be forgotten. Thank you!

During this time of uncertainty and stress, we wanted to express our admiration and thanks to all health care workers at QHC. You have chosen a field where courage, compassion and commitment are key. Thanks also for finding the personal resources to care for your patients, your team, your families and yourselves during this marathon. You are Gold Medal Winners to us.

- Peggy & Duncan Payne

On behalf of my wife, Sandra Wright, I wish to commend several staff members on Quinte 4 for the kindness and compassion shown to my wife Sandra and me. Specifically: RPN Tiffany, Unit Clerk Arin and Unit Manager Caitlin Gagnon each in their own ways provided support to us that helped us greatly during a very difficult time. That they did this during crisis times at BGH due to COVID is testimony to their dedication to their roles.

Yours truly, Stuart Wright

Sending sincere thanks to all of the healthcare professionals who continue to show up each and every day to care for others. We know you are tired, but we are very appreciative of your gift of giving of yourselves. We hold you in our prayers and wish for an end to this soon, so you can get the much deserved rest you need.

- Aileen Edwards

The resilience and commitment of the QHC team has been extraordinary to witness. Your commitment to patients and their families and to supporting each other shows the best of humanity. Thank you for everything you do every day for us.

A heartfelt thank you to all the staff at QHC locations, from Bancroft to Picton, Trenton and Belleville. It is the dedication of all the staff, from admitting to nuclear medicine techs, nurses and doctors, that touch each one of us on a daily basis. Knowing that you are there in the midst of this pandemic you exemplify the knowledge character of our Health Care Professionals in our community. It allows us a sense of calm knowing you are there to help all those in their hour of need.

Thank you.

- Ross I. Rae

I want to send my thoughts and prayers to the staff and people that need positive feedback during this covid. Being positive really does help in this time of need. God bless everyone.

- From Mary

The start to 2022 was certainly not the new year we all had hoped for. Despite the gloomy start, my interactions with QHC staff while my Mom was investigated for an autoimmune disease was positive, friendly and professional. She felt listened to and empathized with. I cannot thank staff enough for continuing to give their all during this pandemic. They are the best. Thank you.

It goes without saying that we are all extremely grateful for our front line workers always and especially during this particularly difficult period but I would like to especially mention the "back office" staff of our front line - you are truly the unsung heroes of the hour!

- Andrew Fleming

Thank you to the Physicians and Staff of all 4 QHC Hospitals. In particular to the North Hastings site, you have shown leadership, care, and dedication to your community. I recognize you all work to the best of your ability at all times, however, during COVID-19 it needs to be recognized that you have gone above and beyond the normal. We acknowledge how difficult these times are for you and that with the situation changing daily you are all exhausted. We hope that soon the crisis is over and you are able to take some time to recover. Thank you for all that you continue to do and the risks you take to make sure our community is ok.

Sincerely,
Dr. Brian and Kim Bishop
Lloyd and Muriel Churchill

To the HEROES at QHC:
Whether you work on the front lines delivering care or behind the scenes to help it all happen, sincerest thanks for continuing to care for patients, their families, yourselves and each other in these challenging times. Eventually, our memories of pandemic living will fade but we’ll never forget the dedication, compassion, endurance and skill you showed in caring for and helping us. Thank you.

- Lisa O’Toole

I am all about the gratitude these days, so I wanted to share that I had a very “pleasant” experience having gall bladder surgery yesterday. All staff that I encountered were kind, professional, happy… everyone. Reception, pre-op, post-op, operating room, anesthesiologist and surgeon. I was treated with kindness and even humour. I know all these very hardworking professionals are fighting the Covid fight for all of us, every day… and still they show up. I am sure everyone can tell their own story… this is mine and I am happy to share my appreciation and gratitude.

Great job to the team at Belleville General Hospital.

Like the vast majority of the people in the Quinte region, I appreciate and admire the devotion to duty shown by the staff of Quinte Health Care to keeping us alive and well during this coronavirus epidemic. Indeed, many of you are going above and beyond the call of duty, caring for your patients more than you are caring for yourselves. You can be sure your efforts will not be quickly forgotten! Please, keep your spirits up, and believe that things will get better!

- Peter Jepson

Thank you for all you do each day - and night.

- Tom and Suzanne

We’re a grade 4 class here at Prince Charles Trenton, and we just wanted to share a thank you video that we made to show our appreciation for all that you do ❤️.

- Nathan Lumsden

THANK YOU Essential Workers for all you do during this difficult time. Jewle and I dearly miss visiting patients and staff at BGH, as do all therapy dog volunteers. We sincerely hope that we will be able to return one day.

- Leona Gosson, Co-ordinator t.d. program

To all the nurses and doctors who have been and still are at the front lines of this pandemic we send a heartfelt thank you and our best wishes for a quick end to this struggle. We have a niece who is an ICU nurse in Hamilton and so have some idea of the unbelievable ordeal that you have been dealing with and the toll that it has taken on you all. We think a grateful nation should award medals of honour to those who have worked so hard and at such personal cost to serve their fellow citizens. We are so lucky to have you.

Sincerely,
Mary and Bob Minigan
