Seven members of my family were taken to YVMC on 15 July 2009 as the result of an auto accident. I cannot express how grateful we are for the care we received. Everyone, nurses, doctors, social workers, and staff were gracious and supportive. I can only hope to get this high level of service at other institutions.
