“The staff and volunteers regularly compliment Dave on his kind and pleasant demeanor. He treats our patients and visitors with care, taking time to answer their questions and guiding them to their destination in the Medical Center,” stated Eric Kane, Manager of Security. “Dave’s affiliation with Cape Regional is well known which makes a positive impression of the Medical Center in the community.”
