MERIDEN — It was like a family reunion for staff at Meriden’s hospitals on Sunday.
“It’s more than a building ... it’s about the people in the building,” said Linda Berger Spivack, MidState Medical Center’s former vice president of patient care services.
What sets health care at MidState apart, she said, is that so many of the MidState staff previously worked at Veterans Memorial Medical Center, Meriden-Wallingford Hospital and World War II Veterans Memorial Hospital before MidState opened in 1998.
“We were just a wonderful little hospital. The affection of all the staff is unbelievable,” said Millie Rossi, 96, who was at Veterans Memorial Medical Center and Meriden-Wallingford Hospital for 34 years, retiring as an executive secretary just before it closed. “I loved my job, I loved the people and I loved the history.”
Rossi and her sister Julia D’Agostino, a 41-year veteran of the hospital who worked as a nursing supervisor, were the guests of honor at the reunion. Click here to continue reading.
