<<<>>> "Here we are, looking at the past and thinking of the future, and like it or not we have to face out failings, and our mistakes, and our shortcomings, amd God knows we've seen enough pain and death, so I suppose we should be depressed, but because this building stands here and because of the people who have walked through that [exit] door, the human spirit prospers and moves on. You know it wasn't long ago that, if a man came here with a dying heart, all we could offer was solace, and now we can offer a transplant, and that to me is amazing." "They call us a teaching hospital, but I find this a learning place, and whether it be nurses or orderlies or surgeons or patients, we all have something to offer each other, and I want to salute those people who have brought us to this celebration, and to those who will lead us in the future."
