Dear Friends:

The people of the medical personal of Valdai Hospital heartily thank you for your contribution, involvement and help shown towards us.

We are happy that temporary hardships we are experiencing find response in your hearts. This promotes and brings us more closely together and breaks down the wall of mistrust which for a long time separated us.

We heartily thank you and hope that our friendship will be strengthened and our relationship and collaboration will become stronger and more diverse for the benefit of the people both Valdai and Canon City.
