PATIENT STORIES The People Behind the Care

Mills-Peninsula Medical Center

When Mike Harding's appendix burst the day before Christmas Eve, he realized that he and his family weren't going to have the holiday experience they wanted. Instead, he spent Christmas in the hospital. Still, he was amazed by how nice his experience was and how the staff went out of their way to make sure he and his family were comfortable.

"I felt like a human, not just another person passing through," he said.
