Mr. Delfs' Success Story

“Our love and sincerest thanks for the incredible care from the Cornerstone doctors and nurses who have enabled Larry Delfs to celebrate this one-year milestone since he contracted COVID.”
- Mrs. Delf

 

From Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals Southeast Arizona

One year ago, Mr. Delfs, a retired paramedic with the Tucson Fire Department, was fighting for his life after testing positive for #COVID19. He was in the care of #HealthcareHeroes at Carondelet Saint Mary’s Hospital before transitioning to Cornerstone.

This week, Mr. Delfs and his wife surprised our team members with a note of appreciation, a cake, and an amazing update on his progress! Mr. Delfs is now walking and breathing on his own! We’re so thankful to make a difference for Mr. Delfs and his family!
 
 
 

Care for Complex Conditions

Patients come to our hospitals with serious conditions such as respiratory failure, complex wounds, sepsis, stroke, congestive heart failure, or even a combination of these. Their diagnoses are often complicated by existing health problems like diabetes or COPD. Many of our patients require treatments such as mechanical ventilators, dialysis, or IV therapy.
