But I need to let everybody know that I went to Southern Hills Hospital and I received the best care there,” Hilton continued. “Everybody was amazing. And I just have to thank, especially, my doctors… But even more importantly, I need to thank the nurses, the superstars: Riley, Ed, Bella, Wayne, Sweet Emily and Dear Christine. Thank you all.”
“And also thank you to the Filipino community. So many of my nurses were Filipino — I love you all,” he added. “And I thank you all so much, every single person at Southern Hills Hospital in Las Vegas.”
