GREY WARNER

For Doylestown resident Grey Warner, the immediate and expert intervention of Doylestown nurses and physicians “greatly facilitated my recovery from a stroke last November,” he recalls. Now retired from Merck, this former healthcare executive immediately recognized the signs of stroke and chose Doylestown Hospital for his care. “In less than 15 minutes from when I arrived in the Emergency Department, the team at Doylestown Hospital administered tPA and stroke protocols. The neurologist on call was there in just minutes to evaluate me. Everything worked like clockwork,” says Grey.

Doylestown Hospital has been recognized by The Joint Commission, in conjunction with The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, with Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers, among other designations, for excellence in treatment of stroke. “We are blessed to have such excellent medical services here in Doylestown,” Grey says.

Per stroke protocol, Grey’s care continued in Doylestown Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU). “I experienced first-class compassionate care and the feeling of community throughout the hospital,” he says. “You can tell that people really care about working here and work as a team to take care of patients,” he continued.

Grey’s observations were shaped by his personal patient experience and informed by his professional and volunteer background. “I’m a member of the Board of Trustees of Hunterdon Healthcare System and have served as a volunteer fireman for the Eagle Fire Company in New Hope,” says Grey. “I understand healthcare delivery from many angles, and Doylestown Health is doing an excellent job.”

After stepping down from the ICU, Grey spent eleven days at Moss Rehabilitation which operates a 12-bed satellite inpatient facility in Doylestown Hospital. “I became the ‘mayor’ of the place” he notes with amusement. “I am now in outpatient physical therapy at the hospital, and the quality of care continues to be outstanding. This continuum of care from ED through rehab is truly first class and a real benefit to the community.”

In recognition of the compassionate and expert care he received, Grey chose to give a gift through the One Vision campaign. According to Grey, “My health, and the health of Bucks County, has improved because of this hospital being here with the right resources.” Because of his generous support and the support of other campaign donors, Doylestown Health will continue to make a difference for patients in this community and beyond.
