Fresh and new with an innovative design...Moose Jaw's new Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital is officially open and locals are excited about it.

 

However, at the same time, there are many locals, including health care providers, getting emotional about saying goodbye to the old Union Hospital.  It'll be demolished in the coming months but a number of our long-time FHHR employees took time to sign and write tributes on the walls before they left.

 

One tribute from Registered Nurse Roger Bastedo who has served us for many years in the Intensive Care Unit.  He wrote:  

My mind wanders;  past co-workers, patients helped, families cared for when we couldn't help.  This unit is full of the sounds of the past.

Shhh...Just listen to the laughing of co-workers and patients, the crying of patients, families, co-workers.

Thank you, Roger.
