Patricia’s Story

Patricia Page has spent much of her life caring for others. A retired music and drama teacher with a master’s degree in therapy, she has devoted her time to offering free counselling to those who couldn’t afford it—supporting others quietly and generously.

But earlier this year, Patricia found herself in need of care after a fall. Not long after, she experienced severe sciatica in her left leg and called an ambulance. She was brought to Joseph Brant Hospital, where she spent several nights under close care.

“The doctors, nurses, and physio team were just incredible,” Patricia says. “They were so encouraging and attentive—right on top of everything. The night nurse had such a good sense of humour – we shared a lot of laughs.”

During her stay, hospital staff discovered a blocked bowel Patricia hadn’t known about. Thanks to their thoroughness, she was able to get treatment before things became more serious.

“They made sure I was always comfortable and treated me with such dignity,” she says. “I truly felt cared for.”

Now back on her feet, Patricia says she’s grateful for the exceptional care and support she received at Joseph Brant Hospital.

“Honestly, my stay felt more like a holiday than a hospital visit.”
