What our customers say
I wanted to thank everyone at this facility for the quality of care and compassion they showed during my stay. I went into the emergency room . The staff in every part of the hospital was friendly, they made me laugh which kept my spirits up.
Today is my last day of infusion. But I know I will be back …not as a patient but a visitor. I have only positive things to say about the nurses at Healther here in infusion and also on the 4th Floor. They all called me by my name when I walked in the door.
