Every patient we care for touches us in a special way.  We celebrate the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others and we share our stories with others as a means of inspiration.  We call them starfish stories.  They were inspired by this special story:

The Starfish Story

An old man walked up a shore littered with thousands of starfish, beached and dying after a storm. A young man was picking them up and flinging them back into the ocean. "Why do you bother?" the old man scoffed. "You're not saving enough to make a difference." The young man picked up another starfish and sent it spinning back to the water. "Made a difference to that one," he said.

We will continually update this page with new stories.  We hope you will find inspriratation in our stories and will return often to read new stories.
