Sample family reviews

From the families of Kay County

Your nurses cared for my grandmother in 1987 and my father last spring. Same promise, same kindness. That's what forty years means.
Janet W.Daughter of a patient, Ponca City
Josh drove out to our farm past Blackwell at 3 a.m. in an ice storm. I will never forget his headlights coming up the road.
Dale K.Son of a patient, Kay County
Rev. Eagle Bull prayed with Grandpa in Ponca and sang an honor song. Grandpa wept, and so did we.
Tasha R.Granddaughter of a patient, White Eagle
They helped Dad go fishing at Kaw Lake one last time. He caught two crappie and talked about it for a week.
Brad P.Son of a patient, Newkirk
Rosa braided Mom's hair every visit and sang to her in Spanish. Mom glowed when she came.
Isabel M.Daughter of a patient, Ponca City
Bill sat up with Dad three nights a week so I could sleep. I couldn't have made it otherwise.

Dr. Hinkle delivered me in 1968, and he sat at our table explaining Dad's hospice care fifty-six years later.
Steve H.Son of a patient, Ponca City
Kimberly had the VA paperwork and the funeral plans done in a week. One less thing on my heart.
