Some Final Thoughts for 2016

As 2016 draws to a close, we would like to extend our deepest thanks to all of our patients, friends, families, and supporters, without whom our centre would not be the success that it is. We are so proud to have the trust of so many people, and promise to continue to provide the care and attention that we always strive to provide to our patients.

The past year has not been without its challenges. However, it is from these challenges that  often the greatest strength and resilience rises. People often say that it is the experiences one has that determines ones character and that everything that happens happens for a reason. While this saying is rather simplistic, the core point is that challenges build character and strength. While it is often difficult to appreciate this while dealing with a crisis, and in particular health challenges, know that we are always here to support you. The holiday time can often bring out strong feelings for people. Happy feelings, such as those that come from being with family, receiving gifts, travelling, being in good health, looking forward to the new year, come and go. Sad feelings, from being alone, not being able to see family, being in poor health, not being able to give as your heart wishes it could, come and go as well. The point here is that everything comes and goes. If you feel happy, or if you feel sad, just know that it will not last forever. Everything is always changing and although the ups and downs of the holiday season, and life's challenges in general, are sometimes difficult to bear, know that it will change. Know that you are supported, and know that you are loved.

Thank you to everyone who made 2016 such a wonderful year! To all our patients, friends, and loved ones, have a very Happy Holiday season, and all our best for the New Year! Cheers to 2017!

With Love,

The Staff of Xiaolan Health Centre
