Cancer Center Welcomes New Providers
Cancer Center Welcomes Dr. Gerald Colvin as Medical Director, Expands Team of Permanent Medical Oncology Providers
Kayla has been a patient of Mohamad Hamdi, MD for nearly seven years, trusting him through pregnancy, postpartum anxiety, and other health concerns. In fact, she says, "I have to shout out Dr. Hamdi because that man is my favorite." Recently, she turned to South County Health again. This time, for surgery—and what stood out most was the care and coordination she experienced from start to finish.
"From the moment of check-in at the hospital, you just feel an overwhelming sense of calm with everyone you meet," Kayla shared. Her pre-op nurse, Sarah Virbila, RN, made her comfortable, putting in an IV so smoothly that Kayla “felt nothing at all.”
Her nurse anesthetist, Marcia Bourque-Moreno, CRNA, spent time chatting with Kayla about her family and sharing stories of her own, creating the kind of calming, motherly presence that put her at ease before surgery.
“Truly, all of them were fantastic,” said Kayla, “The CRNA Marcia was like a breath of fresh air, and everyone—from OR nurses to recovery staff—made me feel supported, even if my memory is a little foggy!”
Clear Communication Every Step of the Way
What made the experience exceptional, Kayla explained, was the seamless communication among the care team. “There was never a moment where I felt a disconnect between providers. Everything was explained in detail, and that’s exactly how it was carried out. I knew what was going to happen and when.”
Care That Exceeds Expectations
For Kayla, the takeaway is clear: South County Health offers care that exceeds expectations. “Being a patient here means you receive individualized attention that supports both your emotional and physical health. The coordination across departments gives you peace of mind and makes you feel like you are always in the best of hands.”
A Testament to Compassionate Care
Kayla’s experience is a testament to the dedication of South County Health’s providers—where expert care meets compassion at every step.
