Letter to Suzette from an MD at UCSF Hospital

Dr. Dawn Gross reached out to SevenPonds to help find someone to vigil at the bedside of a dying patient who had no family

Hello Suzette,

I want to thank you again for all that you did so immediately on behalf of a total stranger!

Though none of your attempted connections came through directly the world is small and intention powerful so my patient did not die alone. I am grateful to say many angels on earth found their way to her particularly from UCSF Spiritual Care Service and the Zen Hospice Project.

Dawn M. Gross, MD, PhD, UCSF Palliative Care Service, Attending Physician, Medicine-Hospital Medicine, San Francisco, CA
