My mother came in this week for a full hip replacement. What an impressive hospital. Everyone, the doctors, nurses, front desk, custodial service were knowledgeable, kind and professional. The staff made a very stressful situation so much better than what was anticipated. Thank God for such a great staff and place of healing!
