Erik Leach said the staff at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden "mean a lot to him" after his life changing health scare. "You know it’s a lot emotionally," Leach said. "These guys really mean a lot to me, I mean, for the rest of my life I’m still going forward because of them, so I owe them."The hospital staff, who called Leach the "miracle patient," were just as excited to see a healthy Leach walk the halls of the hospital on Tuesday. MORE LOCAL HEADLINES""I was so excited," Dr.
