Living outside the city has its perks: fresh air, fewer crowds, and a more relaxed pace. But for Michael and Joan, raising their family on a small farm came with a unique challenge: accessing reliable healthcare. The nearest hospital was a long drive away and often understaffed.
They were always careful. Michael took extra precautions on the farm, and Joan worked hard to keep everyone healthy with nutritious meals and a well-maintained home. They kept a fully stocked first-aid kit, especially when the kids were home from boarding school.
Then, last December holiday, disaster struck. Their oldest son, trying a stunt on his bike, crashed into a freshly tilled portion of the farm, twisting his ankle and losing consciousness. Joan’s heart stopped. Luckily, neighbours rushed to help. A retired doctor stabilised their son and as they were preparing for the long drive to the hospital, a farm worker suggested a closer option: a medical Centre just 20 minutes away that offered comprehensive services at an affordable price.
Relief washed over Joan. At the medical centre, they were seen quickly. The doctor prepped their son for a minor procedure to set his leg and monitored him for other injuries. The payment process was simple and affordable, a welcome surprise. Their son recovered fully, thanks to the skilled doctors.
As millennial parents, Michael and Joan value quality and affordability when it comes to healthcare.
