No one likes to be in a hospital on Thanksgiving. But unfortunately, accidents happen and illness doesn't always wait for a convenient time to occur. So every year family members end up in the hospital rather than being at home where they would rather be. That includes 11 people that are here in our hospital this morning rather than spending the day with family at home. And of course, our hospital is always staffed 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Luckily for our hospital staff and the friends and family of patients that will be here today, MCDH has a superb kitchen and dietary staff. In fact many people from the local community come to the hospital cafeteria on a regular basis for a nutritious (and delicious) meal.
Today we are serving a delicious Thanksgiving Turkey meal. I'm sure that everyone that will eating this fabulous meal, would rather be somewhere else today. But, thanks to our fantastic food services staff, no one at Mendocino Coast Hospital (except for patients on a special diet) will miss out on enjoying a great turkey dinner. Thank you to the entire Food Service Staff. And thank you to all of our hard working staff that are here working on this most special holiday day of the year. Happy Thanksgiving to all, from the staff at MCDH.
