Dr. Tiffany came to Almonte at the age of two. He attended St. Mary’s and Almonte High School, went to Montreal to do his under graduate studies in Anatomy and Cell Biology at McGill University, completed his medical studies in Grenada and New York and did his Residency in Long Island. Dr. Tiffany returned to Almonte and joined the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team and works in the Almonte General Hospital Emergency Department, assists in the Operating Room, and cares for hospital in-patients.

An irregular heartbeat brought Bert to the emergency room during wee hours of the morning in March. He was having a heart attack. It was a long uncertain night and when none of the usual protocols worked Dr. Tiffany’s experience gave him the answers that Bert is certain saved his life.

The following week, Bert stopped by Dr. Tiffany’s office to surprise him with a Guardian Angel pin. A quiet man, Bert offered his hand and the pin to Dr Tiffany. The look exchanged between the two said everything that needed saying.

Congratulations Dr. Tiffany!

Connie Reitsma was determined to get better. A serious hamstring injury wasn’t going to keep her down for long so she decided to investigate physiotherapy to help with the healing process. As if the leg injury wasn’t bad enough, Connie had developed Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV). PPV is a common cause of dizziness. As fortune would have it, BPPV can also be treated by a physiotherapist – enter Mary Davies.

Mary has worked at the Physiotherapy Clinic for more than 20 years and has a vast amount of knowledge and experience accumulated during her career. Mary was assigned to work with Connie who couldn’t be happier with the results. “Mary has been wonderful in helping me get better. She’s been patient and helpful. I think she really knows does a wonderful job,” said Connie.

Congratulations Mary!

“Just talking to her makes you feel healed” said Lionel Easton. Harriet is a person who stands out in the memory of Lionel as a compassionate, caring person who gave his very sick wife comfort in the Emergency room over 7 years ago. So much so that he surprised her with an Angel Pin to say thank you and to let her know that he still remembers what a difference she made that day.

Harriet (pictured left) has been a valued member of the AGH-FVM family since September 23, 1991.
