My hospital is > than yours

My recent weekly visits to Sherman Hospital in Elgin have me convinced of one thing.

My hospital is > than yours...

State of the art and only a few years old, Sherman Hospital stands majestically along Randall Road conveniently across from the medical offices that contain most of my specialists.

It uses geothermal technology to help reduce energy costs and that same lake has offered me a peaceful place to meditate during my recent "liptick and heels" visits to the place I have now nicknamed "Spa Sherman"..

See with a nickname like that when I take a day off of work for treatment or tests,  put on my lipstick and heels and head out I can say I am going to the "spa".

I will always be grateful for patient and caring nurses and thorough doctors. I will always know that Sherman has given me the best local breast cancer care I could have ever asked for. I also rest at ease knowing that it is extremely clean and a place to get healthy.

But these recent visits have also shown me that it can be a place of tranquility, beauty, continuous life and not just of tests, treatments, anxiety, and uncertainty.

A walk around the nature filled place of happiness that sits directly behind Sherman offers a place where you can get away and gather your thoughts. A place of peace where life is abound.

Beautiful flowers line the lake, various wildlife play happily in its waters and on its shores. Resting benches in memorioum remind us that when we leave this Earth we are not forgotten if we have lived our live with purpose.

I am grateful for this getaway place to make my visits to Sherman a peaceful endeavour. And as a frrequent visitor to "Spa Sherman"  I am quite certain that my hospital is > than yours.
