My husband of 52 years passed away in early 2025. Thanks to the incredible team at Dartmouth General Hospital (DGH), I was able to keep my promise and remain by his side until the very end—he did not die alone. That meant the world to both of us. It was an unimaginably difficult time, yet the compassion shown by the DGH Team brought comfort when it was needed most. With compassion, Drs. Singh, Hunter, and Gapal kept me informed each morning about Tom’s condition and his night. Their kindness and thoughtfulness helped prepare me for the day ahead and gave me strength I didn’t know I had. To the health care workers of 5 East and the entire DGH Team—please know that your care for patients and their families does not go unnoticed. In the darkest of moments, you made the unbearable just a little more bearable. For that, I am deeply grateful. Thank you. — J. Johnston

I was taken by ambulance to the Dartmouth General due to heart complications. After being seen promptly by the emergency staff of doctors and nurses, I was quickly transferred to the cardiac unit (fourth floor) that same evening. I was admitted for six days and the care I received from the staff of nurses and doctors was beyond incredible. Our health-care system often gets a hard time due to the heavy burden it is under, but I can attest to an old saying that not all angels wear wings, and this is true of the staff at the Dartmouth General. — C.
