A Secret Not Meant to Keep

My mother fell ill and was taken by ambulance to St. Joe’s Oakland. I’ll be honest – I had it in my mind it wasn’t the right place to go. But I was wrong.
The staff treated us like family and kept us informed at every turn. I was so thoroughly impressed. The care… The kindness… The facility was incredible – beautiful and new. The atmosphere was intimate; they have advanced technology and compassion. My mother, 97, ended up passing away in the loving care of her family, the doctors and staff. St. Joe’s should not be a “best kept secret.” The way they treated us during such a difficult and sacred time is the reason I recommend St. Joe’s to everyone.
