"I'm Still Here, Thanks to St. Vincent Health! 

Dear St. Vincent ambulance and emergency crews,

Paramedics in Leadville rushed me to the emergency room at St. Vincent Health one morning in March. I didn’t know it, but I was in the throes of a heart attack. I wasn’t there long, for as soon as the helicopter arrived I was loaded into it and flown to Swedish Medical Center in Denver. While I was in the ER I received excellent care. Unquestionably, the paramedics and staff at the hospital did what was needed, thus saving my life. Thank you, a million times, over; I am eternally grateful!

I’m home and doing very well. I feel fine; such that it’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that I had a life-threatening heart attack. But thanks to the expertise of everyone at St. Vincent Health along with the paramedics, I’m still here.

I am one of the lucky ones. I’m lucky because of your expertise; you all were a huge part in saving my life! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Most sincerely,
Louise Geil
