Donna and Cliff
"I got extra years with my husband because of your hospital."
Donna
“Your staff are remarkable people. All of them. The staff—from housekeeping, valets, and the heads of medical departments—were so amazing. We knew everyone cared and went out of their way to make our rough times and worries easier.”
Donna, from Gilbert, Arizona, went through long months of treatment with her late husband, Cliff. They came to Holden for a second opinion, and Donna knows from experience with other cancer centers that the commitment to her family’s wellbeing varies widely.
“Cliff and I would always say that God sent you all to us and that we were blessed. Thank you for the extra time I had with him.”
