My husband and I were camping he stopped breathing at 2 am. We were not familiar with the local area and had to call the ambulance who rushed him to the ER at Jackson. About 10 minutes after he arrived he stopped breathing. Leanne took immediate action, did compressions, and brought him back. When she came to get me from the waiting room she stopped me before going to the room to explain everything that had happened since arrival, preparing me for what I was going to see when I walked in the room as my husband didn't look very good. She delivered the unexpected news in a calm manner and asked several times if I was okay and if I understood what she was telling me. The care provided by Leanne and the team that night was beyond exceptional. They did everything possible to keep us informed and took the time to explain everything that was happening.
