NED
WALL Spirit. That's what keeps golfing, horse racing, and football fan, Ned Wall, going strong. And he attributes the spirit of Labette Health as a major factor that has helped him through his long battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. After doing a biopsy and performing other tests, his three Labette Health doctors diagnosed the disease, Nov. 1, 1994. "My family doctor immediately made an appointment for me with M.D. Anderson and on Nov. 3, my parents and I flew to Houston. Everything that had been done in Parsons was affirmed by the staff at M.D. Anderson." After spending two weeks in Houston getting started on chemotherapy, the Wall family returned to Parsons where Ned continued treatments at Labette Health. "The nurses who gave me my chemo treatments both were a great help to me and my family with their excellent skills and attitude. They certainly helped keep my spirits at a high level with their friendly, upbeat personalities." Getting quality medical care locally, has allowed Ned to stay active in the Parsons community where he belongs to the Elks' Lodge, attends Rotary Club meetings, and golfs at the Katy. A 2002 PSU graduate, Ned is also a lifetime member of the Pittsburg State University Alumni Association and attends all PSU home football games. "I really appreciated the convenience of receiving most of my chemotherapy treatments in Parsons. It was so good that M.D. Anderson and Labette Health were able to coordinate my program of treatment to make this possible. We are proud and thankful to have a hospital like Labette Health in Parsons." |
