Thank you for visiting the Patient Stories section of the St. Mary's website! Here you will find letters from our patients and visitors, sharing their personal experiences with our caring staff. They are the stories of compassion, respect, excellence, stewardship and community… the values that our hospital is proudly built upon. If you have your own special St. Mary's story that you would like to share, please click here and fill out our submission form. All submissions are reviewed to protect patient confidentiality before they are posted. All questions and concerns should be submitted through the "Contact Us" page, found on the navigation bar above, so that they can be responded to in a more timely manner. It's not easy to get back on track when life throws you a curve. Just ask David Penn. He loved to dance and debate and planned to do so for many years but life didn't turn out as he planned. A debilitating stroke dramatically changed his course and led David and his family to St. Mary's Adult Day Health Center. Though he was skeptical at first, David found a warm and gentle community that helped revive his body, mind and spirit. This is his story.
