✨ Meet our amazing patient, Dr. Jamison, and the fabulous team who made his stay at Smithfield unforgettable! ❤️ Dr. Jamison chose Smithfield for rehab because, as he puts it, “This is my hometown, and it’s where I feel at home.” He also raves about the food, saying, “The food here is absolutely amazing!” He’s been incredibly grateful for the team’s care, noting, “Everyone has been so helpful, kind, and treated me exceptionally well.” A standout moment for him? “Seeing familiar faces from the community has been wonderful!” And for anyone considering rehab, he advises, “The therapy was tough, but the therapists were great!” (laughs) “Dr. Jamison, as a long-time physician, also made a lasting impact on the Smithfield community through his years of service. His name on the Jamison-Longford Medical Office Building, on the campus of the new Riverside Smithfield Hospital, along with Dr. Longford, punctuates this commitment thanks to a generous gift from the Luter family.” A big thank you to our incredible team for making a difference and to Dr. Jamison for his amazing support! 👏💕 #RehabJourney #SmithfieldFamily #CommunityCare #BuildingTheFuture
