Letter: Thanks for great care at Pioneers Medical
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Kellie Turner and staff in the ER at Pioneers Medical Center. We couldn’t have asked for better care and concerns. Also a great big thank you for all your prayers, calls and all the support we received during our time of need.
