Joe Nichols, who was previously in excellent health, faced cardiac arrest, heart blockages and congestive heart failure. Thanks to the outstanding care he received from the cardiac team at WellSpan, he now considers himself fortunate to be alive. His wife, Carol, praised the team for their exceptional care and for always taking her husband’s concerns into consideration when making treatment decisions. It was the quick responses of the team that saved Joe’s life.
In appreciation for the care Joe received, he and Carol decided to send a thank-you letter and make a generous donation of $5,000 to the Heart & Vascular Grateful Patient and Family Program Fund at WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital. The following year, they made an additional $1,500 contribution. Joe and Carol plan to continue supporting the WellSpan Foundation with future donations to show their ongoing appreciation for the care Joe received during his health crisis.
