OUR INSPIRATION
Grandmother Yei Kaalu always wanted me to go to school. She volunteered to take care of my two children while I attended school. Grandma’s only advice was to get my education, return home and give back to the community. She was so compassionate and caring. To continue her legacy of compassion and caring, this hospital is dedicated to her. Grandma, though you are not with us anymore but your name will remain on the lips of those you left here forever through the services we will provide at your hospital. Providing medical care is part of your passion so we will keep that alive. Love you forever, Grand Ma Yei Kaalu!
