Arleta Rae Allen

“My first up-close encounter with Island Hospital was in 1994 when a dear friend was hospitalized. The staff was exceptional and caring. I learned what it is to belong to a small, rural hospital community, where one gets a true feeling about the hospital, the way it runs, its providers, and I marvel at its growth. Like any beautiful and growing organism, our health system needs nurturing and support. Island Hospital is here for us. Let’s keep it that way!”
