Supports Westlake Regional Hospital

'Had it not been for the dedicated emergency workers of our local ambulance service and medical staff at Westlake Hospital, I would not have survived.' - SUE HUTCHISON

By Sue Hutchison

In recent months, there has been much discussion about our local hospital, positive and negative. I wish to voice support for our hospital. On November 29, 2013 I suffered a very serious heart attack. Had it not been for the dedicated emergency workers of our local ambulance service and medical staff at Westlake Hospital, I would not have survived. Within 5 minutes of arrival, I coded and required life-saving revival techniques. If I had tried to have gone to any other location for initial treatment, it is unlikely that I would have survived. The medical staff stabilized me so that I could be sent to Louisville for further treatment. I want to humbly thank all the medical workers who assisted with my initial treatment. Our community needs a functioning hospital for emergencies as well as on-going treatment of medical conditions. I support our hospital! Sincerely,
SUE HUTCHISON
