Kaiser vs. other programs.

[Guest guest]

Well, I know a lot of " programs " are NOT as comprehensive as Kaiser.

I know of one woman who went through the VA hospital, and her total

after care/education was: " OK, now just eat less food. "

But there are good examples too: I've heard great things about Mills

Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame.

I thank my lucky stars that I have mama Kaiser.
