I would like to thank my ER doctor, all the nurses who helped me through quite a scare in the ER. My surgeon’s and their staff of nurses. Most of all I would like to thank Emma on the 3rd floor. She has been excellent with all patients and I can see her care and compassion in her job. She has made me feel safe.

My wife Christine recently retired from service as a nurse from Mt. Nittany. She always spoke to me about how hard working and passionate everyone was at work, and how many long hours she and her Co workers put in to get the job done.

Thank you all for your hard work and service to all of us in our community.

01.16.2022 Many Thanks

In early January I had relatively minor, but necessary surgery done at MNMC. I was totally impressed by the professionalism of every single staff member. I was treated well at every step in the process. I light of the current pandemic, I fully appreciate the challenges and frustration the staff is dealing with in order to perform their jobs.

I think the staff is doing amazing work and deserves every accolade for their professionalism.

01.13.2022 Thank you!!

I gave birth in October 2020 when COVID was still relatively new. The doctors, nurses, and staff in the maternity ward were AMAZING!!!! I can’t thank them enough for all they did for my husband and I and new baby during a very anxious time. They showed compassion and love during what I can only imagine was an extremely stressful period (and still is!). My one regret is I didn’t write down all their names so I could thank them individually!

01.08.2022 What you do everyday means so much to us!

I’ve had this need to publicly express my appreciation for Mount Nittany Medical Center. When my husband, Ted, was admitted to MNMC for Covid I have to admit I was worried. I didn’t hear the best reviews. My husband was able to call on occasion, but we mostly texted. He told me how much he liked the food there. I was pretty insulted, but after hearing that others liked it too I didn’t take it as personally. Lol. He also said how much he appreciated the nurses, doctors and staff. He said he could honestly see that they cared. Sure, there was a few that were short with him or rude. You have this anywhere, but for the most part he really felt cared for.

After 2 1/2 weeks in the hospital my husband suddenly took a turn for the worse and needed to be ventilated. We were devastated was an understatement. We basically said our goodbyes through text because he was coughing too much to speak. The kids and I cried so much I didn’t think we could cry anymore! It’s now day 13 on the vent. He’s been moved out of the Covid unit and I’ve been able to visit with him. Let me tell you, NOTHING can prepare you to see your loved one hooked up to hoses keeping him alive. Nothing. No TV show, no newspaper articles. It’s shocking and I don’t know how I didn’t faint. Well, I do. Prayer, but that’s a whole other story. The staff was there to help talk me through this. One said, we see this everyday, but *you* only see it once. They were beyond compassionate and I know I wouldn’t be able to do it without their support. Literally. Every hour is touch and go for my husband. It’s a nightmare of a rollercoaster.

What I’m really here to say is that I can’t believe how amazing the staff have been here at MNMC. It’s like they’ve been through a war! I’m not kidding. No one signed up to experience this much pain, this much death! They’re going through a war every single day, and then go to the grocery store like everyone else. They watch the world go by around them while they’re experiencing Covid and it’s horrible wake. You can see it in their eyes! Yes, some need to desensitize to function. I totally get that. I want them to know my husband, so I show “before” photos, photos of the kids and their dad, and then I see it. The tears in their eyes. It’s so traumatizing. How could it not be? The feeling of loss. Constantly. They NEED a win. I hope it’s my husband. It might not be, but I do know they’re doing their best. Their best IS good enough. They’re experienced, efficient and talented. We should be so fortunate to have this facility and their amazing staff help treat our loved ones.

PLEASE thank the staff, nurses, PA’s, doctors, technicians, front desk clerks, everyone that works in the health care right now. I don’t know how they do it everyday. They’re amazing and they NEED your support and encouragement to keeping doing what they’re doing, especially as we enter another wave of Covid illness. — at Mount Nittany Medical Center.

I was in there for some pre-op testing last month. Although my surgery has been postponed due to covid, the staff that I did deal with were exceptionally kind and helpful. I truly appreciated their attention to detail. I can’t wait for my surgery to be rescheduled. Thank you for all you do.

12.24.2021 Thank you!

There truly are no words for the depth of gratitude we have for all that you do to take care of our community. We are so appreciative of your non-stop dedication to our well-being. We know that you are worn out and emotionally drained and we are so sorry. Please know that there are many of us trying hard to stop the spread of the virus, doing our part and then some to try to keep people out of the hospital. We wish that we could do so much more. Thank you for pushing through and putting up with those who cannot, for goodness knows what reason, see the big picture to help others. Without you, we are sunk. God bless.

Thank you so much for all you’re doing to help keep this pandemic from worsening!
I work with young children and my heart hurts each time one of them has to quarantine or is exposed to someone with COVID. Just going into work and having fewer and fewer children each day is scary for me. If this pandemic has affected my life and job so much, I can only imagine how it has affected yours.
I look up to all of you and I’m so thankful for everything you’re doing to keep us safe. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!!

12.22.2021 So very grateful for your grace filled service

Though we are transitioning from Happy Valley, we remain so grateful for the tireless and gracious service of all of the front line (and behind the scenes) folks who give so much of themselves for our wonderful community. To know you are at the ready, able to care for the many of complex challenges inherent in your callings is such a blessing to those of us who much of the time just take your presence for granted. Your care, compassion and the confidence we all have in our local health care system is a tremendous blessing to the community.

May God richly bless you all in your service and in your lives.

With much gratitude,

As an employee at MNMC I see the wonderful staff of doctors, nurses, physician assistants, radiology, lab, nutrition services, environmental services, respiratory therapy, medical oncology, radiation oncology taking care of patients everyday. While I myself am not in direct patient care I have watched for almost the past two years this wonderful staff of friends take care of really sick people. I am grateful for each and everyone of them.

To the FrontLine Heroes at Mount Nittany Health:
Thank you for showing up every day to fight for the breath and the lives of our neighbors and friends.
This past week you cared for my loved one in the COVID unit – I hated that he was there and worried every second of every day, but I was completely confident that Dr Suita and Dr Thomas and all of the nurses and others were caring well for him.
We are blessed to have every one of you who shows up every day to fight this COVID war. None of us understand how hard this is on all of you – emotionally, physically and even spiritually.
You are all in my daily prayers. Thank you for everything that you do every day for all of us.

Hello,

My name is Dave Vactor and I spent 12 days in your care due to COVID-19. As a watch the news of spikes in transmission I just wanted to thank Dr. Thomas and all of the staff I had contact with. My first time ever being in the hospital could not have been better. I thank you all for saving my life. I am now vaccinated and my family is vaccinated. We are committed to wearing masks so that beds can be available for those who need it. Please stay safe and strong and know that people are rooting and caring for you!!

Recently was in Mt Nittany Medical Center and those words are so true dedication, compassion and commitment. Nurses working 12 hour shifts and picking up extra shifts.!

05.07.2021 Thank you!

Thank you to all the nurses out there helping everyone out. It is greatly appreciated with what all you have to do especially during the last year.
I especially want to thank the awesome nurses that I had the other weekend when I gave birth at Mount Nittany. They were amazing and helpful and I couldn’t have asked for a better crew. I never had a bad experience and I’ve always been thankful for that. Even with my first son I had an amazing crew of nurses there to help. I know I can’t personally do what you guys do so I’m thankful that you guys can!

05.06.2021 Thank You So Much!

There are simply no words adequate enough to fully show the deep gratitude I – and countless others – have for the nurses at Mount Nittany Health! When I was there, the nursing staff was one of the top sources for my intense pride, and I know they still are. So to a group of very special people on your very special day – thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do for so many each and every day! God bless you all!

Steve Brown
05.06.2021 So thankful!

Thank you all for doing such a wonderful job!! I gave birth last April when things were still really, really scary as little was known about Covid transmission and the nurses in the maternity ward were AMAZING! My husband was unable to stay overnight with me and our newborn and the nurses went above and beyond to make sure that I had everything I needed and that I felt comfortable. I chatted with many of them about how difficult of time it was juggling children being home from school, childcare behind closed, and still needing to work during such an uncertain time. I am still in awe at their drive to provide healthcare during such a scary time while also dealing with childcare or other family issues. I’ve thought of all of you many times over the past year. You are all rockstars!!

04.12.2021 Unsung Heroes

An unsung hero is a person who has achieved great things or committed acts of bravery or self-sacrifice, yet is not celebrated or recognized. An unsung hero may be someone who acts bravely in battle without notice, or someone who sacrifices himself for the good of the group, without recognition. All of the men and women helping during this time and every day are true Unsung Heroes.

04.11.2021 There Are Not Enough Words

To all health care workers on every level, we owe such gratitude and thanks. While some complained about wearing a mask & not being able to go about their daily routine, you got up every day & faced a deadly pandemic with grace & courage. Hopefully people will take responsibility & get vaccinated & follow safe guidelines to help you get this under control. May you and yours stay safe. ❤

Cheryl Bilinsky
03.31.2021 Thank You

I want to tell whoever is in charge of this hospital, the RNs and CNAs are wonderful. The dedication to the patient is exceptional in 3E. This is my second time I had to get operated on here and I have had to go to other hospitals, but would rate this hospital number one. I live 45 minutes away and if it was three hours, I would make the trip to come here.

Dear health care workers,

Thank you for all you have done, all you have sacrificed, during this pandemic. It has been an uncertain and scary time. Many like myself were scared to leave their houses and yet workers like you went in, every day, to save lives. While many doubted the existence of the virus, you helped those who were truly suffering. Your bravery, strength and perseverance are inspiring.

Bless you!

I just wanted to thank and commend everyone involved in the Covid vaccine clinic. I was there yesterday for my first vaccine and was so impressed with the process that is in place at MNMC. Whomever is in charge of that clinic knows how to do it right. Someone posted at every station to move you forward at a fast pace without any confusion. I was out of there before I was even supposed to have received my vaccine. When you can make a complicated process feel that simple to the general public, you are a rock star. Thank you and everyone involved in being a part of the solution. I am proud to have MNMC in our community. We are very lucky. Thanks again. Stay healthy.

02.23.2021 A Bad Year… turning out OK

I’m not sure words can express the gratitude I feel for everyone at Mt. Nittany. It’s been a bad year for me with a blood clot ,surgery for a cyst removed and a heart attack a few weeks later. Everyone was exceptional and kept me safe. I just received my Covid vaccine and truly wanted to cry. Thank you for making my life better. I don’t use the word Hero’s lightly. ❤️ Dr.Sahin and Dr. Jones are the BEST

02.17.2021 Thank You

We got our first dose this morning. When we walked in, we did not know what to expect and were a little uneasy. We were greeted outside by a gentlemen with a friendly voice and big smile. Inside, we were directed to the registration table and then to the vaccinator. On the way through, everyone had big smiles, were extremely friendly and show great enthusiasm and ability at their jobs. You made us feel welcome and at home and we thank you all for that. When this is over, the world should throw all healthcare workers at all levels, a big party!

Thank you, take care and stay healthy!

01.29.2021 A prayer for essential workers in the pandemic – Round in Common Time

Round in Common Time is a choral piece, written in the spring of 2020 to express love, gratitude and support for all of the essential workers in the Coronavirus pandemic.

Musician and poet Laura Mazza-Dixon composed the piece as a song/prayer for those who are risking their lives to help the rest of us survive these perilous times. I send it to all the Mount Nittany healthcare workers with my thanks for all you are doing to care for us.

A State College native, Laura is the daughter of Maralyn and S. Paul Mazza Jr. and resides in Granby, Connecticut.

Her hope is that this would be a song that could be sung by the family members and friends of nurses, doctors and others who help those suffering from the virus. It has been presented several times in virtual performances at churches in Connecticut.

The English text is here….

Round in Common Time

Take all our strength into your hands,
our love into your hearts,

And go where love is calling you,
though we must be apart.

Let every prayer surround you,
protect you from all harm.

Laura Mazza-Dixon
01.29.2021 Kudos to you all!

My husband spent the day at Mount Nittany for something serious, but other than covid. When I was told I could not come in with him, I got a taste of what it must be like for the loved ones of covid, and just as quickly realized what it must be like for you folks to have to tell them they can’t come in. My husband came home that evening and told me that, even with all that is going on, the staff were friendly, helpful and professional, which made him feel so much better. Thank you so much for that, and for shouldering the burden of everyone’s anxiety on top of it. Hard times, but I feel so much confidence in having you all there to help!

I am the “Proud Mother” of a First Responder who is on the front lines everyday. You are exceptional human beings! Be Safe All.

01.23.2021 Thanks to all the Nurses & Doctors

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of my mom when she was admitted for 4 days in November for COVID. Each day I called and talked to the nurses regarding her progress and what treatments she was receiving. I am sure that gets overwhelming on top of their regular responsibilities but they were always so gracious, kind and willing to talk through everything. Two that I know that I talked to were Ali and Becca. Their kind hearts helped but me and my siblings at ease over her care and progress. We really can’t thank you enough.

Thank you for being there every day of this long siege of Covid 19.

It means more than I can say that you are there for all of us.

I have been staying home and masked always when any contact with persons is possible. I live alone in a remote corner of the county. I’m 74 and in good general health. Trying to do my part.
Thank you for your sacrifices to protect all of us.

Dear God,
Please let each worker at Mt. Nittany know that you are with them. Let them feel your loving presence as they go about their work and help them maintain their professionalism, kindness, and patience as they do their respective jobs.
Amen

Generally, I don’t care for the word ‘proud,’ but in this case it’s use is justified. I am proud of each of you for your individual commitment to care and to all of you working together to help the sick in our community. I wish you could get enough sleep and have enough reserve left for your family once you finally arrive home. I know that’s not happening now, but hope, with the vaccination, is in the air! Hang in there!

Many thanks to all the health care workers in our community. I especially want to thank the staff and nurses in the Park Ave. clinic, where I have been receiving weekly allergy shots. I have always felt safe in the clinic with all the protocols instituted. I have to wait 30 minutes after receiving an injection and have witnessed first hand, week after week, the compassionate care given to all the patients arriving for appointments at the location. I admire your courage and fortitude in this pandemic, and wish you only the best in the better times to come. With gratitude, Cathi Alloway

Sincere appreciation to Dr. Thomas Covaleski — Mount Nittany’s new and so very deserving CHIEF OF STAFF! What a wonderful honor to a man who could have worked anywhere (has had multiple offers and invitations!). Dr. Covaleski is a precious gift to Mount Nittany as well as the patients and areas it serves. With so many healthcare workers working harder than we know and sacrificing much more than we will ever realize, I am forever thankful to you, especially Dr. Covaleski. This website has given me the opportunity to thank you personally — THANK YOU! Few will ever realize what you have done and sacrificed for so many. Love you — with heartfelt thanks and appreciation, pjs

12.22.2020 Thank You For Being Here For Us

Being retired I spend most days reading books and watching TV at home, so it wasn’t difficult for my wife and me to adjust to the new way of life that the virus brought. For a long time it looked like our area was going to escape the COVID, but then it seemed to hit all at once.
Suddenly I had friends and acquaintances coming down with it and they had to go to the hospital. Then my wife got sick, and after 6 days suffering at home and not getting better we were able to get her admitted to the hospital. Then it all becomes very real. After another 6 days under your great care she was able to come home. I couldn’t believe how much she improved while being there. She had to have an oxygen machine for a while, but now she has completely recovered.
Thank you for being there when we needed you.

12.22.2020 Elective thanks

When it came time for a colonoscopy, I thought the hospital would schedule me next spring. Imagine my surprise when they took me in a week. The degree of careful protection against covid19 was impressive, and I felt very safe with them.
I so much want to thank Dr Qasim Salimi, Barbara, Joe, Kristin, Clay & Ashley for all their kindness, skill & attention on Dec 15.

I see you. And I cannot thank you ALL enough for what you are doing. The countless hours in and out of the buildings. The precautions and procedures you endure. Everything you do is for others, and I see that. I hear that. I appreciate your passion, hard-work, drive, hospitality, and so much more. As hard as it is, please remember to take time for yourSELF. Practice self care, self love. It is important, especially in the work you are doing. Find that few minutes, at least, a day to do something you love. Rejuvenate your mind, body and soul. I am thinking of you all during this time, and every time. THANK YOU Mount Nittany Health!

Even during this pandemic she still continues to give our child the therapy the he needs. She is a Hero.

After the recent passing of my husband, I was visiting my younger son and his family at State College, when I suddenly fell sick and was admitted to Mount Nittany. Five years ago I was also treated here for the same medical problem, and many of the doctors were still here. Even with the restrictions for coviid, the doctors, nurses and all staff were very attentive. The ICU doctors and nursing staff were real troopers, even though I was a very “impatient patient”, as I told them. When I returned to the regular floor, the nursing and housekeeping staff made a point to visit me and tell me how glad they were to see me so improved. It restored my belief in the goodness of the humankind, and to accept the loss of my husband a bit more. All members of nursing staff were awesome, and may I mention just a few names: Margory Price, Daniel Martin, Alley, Dawna. … I thank you all atMount Nittany for your service to mankind.
