To the Editor:

I was in the hospital 18 days and would like to say how wonderful Dr. Michael Ponder, Dr. Assad Assadnia and the nurses were to me.

I could not have asked for better care. I would like to take this opportunity to say how much I think we’re blessed to have Southampton Memorial Hospital here.

The nurses were so attentive and professional. My heartfelt thanks to them.

Now I have home health care, and Cathy Hart is giving me wonderful care. Thanks for that service also. We are very fortunate to have such dedicated doctors and nurses in Franklin.
