John and Arlene McGrotty’s Story

The shock hit deep and hard – John’s coronary arteries were massively blocked and he would need triple bypass surgery. The cardiologist, cath lab staff and surgeon swung into action, and my husband was in the O.R. the very next day. All alone, I had to cope with the preparations for John and my own worries. Who would I turn to for help? My fears were soon allayed as the staff at St. Francis Hospital displayed unparalleled professionalism, sympathy, confidence and care – not only for John – but for me as well. From the top surgeon, using a ground breaking bypass technique, to the nurses’ station, everyone at St. Francis turned a potentially fatal event into my husband’s rebirth.

My husband and I now lead a rich, full life together. For giving us a new lease on life, we will always be indebted to this incredible institution. To express our gratitude to St. Francis Hospital, we both have remembered the Hospital in our wills.

This outstanding facility in our community must continue its work now, and for decades and generations to come. A planned gift helps ensure that world-class medical care remains locally available when you and your loved ones need it.

We hope that you will explore the information that is provided on this website and that you too will choose to include St. Francis Hospital in your estate plans.

With sincere thanks for your consideration,
John and Arlene McGrotty
