Arthur Phillips, Ocean Shores

On behalf of myself and my family, I would like to pass on to the doctors and staff of the Mullumbimby hospital our deepest gratitude and thanks for the treatment and care of my wife Patricia when she was admitted from Coolamon Villa with severe respiratory problems.

My wife suffers with dementia and could not convey her problems to those attending her. The care she received while in the hospital could not be bettered anywhere else.

Because of this, I feel that everything possible should be done to keep this hospital viable within our community.

Once again all I can say to you good people is thank you from the bottom of my heart.
