A grate place to work and be a part of. It is supported by many benefactors and volunteers. Which they proudly display in there halls and they give you a history of how the hospital came to be. Along with the founders and their efforts, with out them the hospital would not be what it is today, a safe, welcoming and friendly place to go if you are in need of care no matter time of day.

I've had both good experiences and some so-so experiences at this hospital. But what really inspired this review is because I deliver Instacart on occasion and I only delivered one order yesterday and it went to the hospital. I have 59 out of the last hundred deliveries have given me a five star review. And I had one four star review. The rest didn't rate at all. Every single review under five stars actually puts a massive hit to my income by the way. So, yesterday I get an order for the hospital.
It looks like it was either to refill the vending machine or office snacks. Lots of cookies and lots of tiny baggies of chips. The store was out of a few of the items. I took pictures and asked if they would like replacements. I never heard anything back even after waiting. So, I made a few replacements that I was authorized to make and refunded the rest. I delivered the order on time and followed the instructions to pull around behind the helicopter pad by the dumpsters in back of the hospital. My tip was reduced and I was given a bad review. Thanks Delynn! Get get an A+ for being both cheap and rude

It's tough to transfer from one Doctors office to another. After years in Monrovia, CA I finally had to make the change to my new community. I was hoping for the best but unsure what to expect. The rural health clinic has so surpassed my expectations. The staff, aides and nurses have all been kind and helpful. Ping Yang is one of the most thorough medical providers I've had the pleasure of seeing. It's clear that this small community clinic is a great place to be (if you have to visit a medical office).

This so called hospital should not exist. Josef Mengele had more of a right to call himself a doctor than Cheryl Reeder

This is the Best hospital that I have ever been to in my entire life! my nurse Troy made me feel so comfortable he was like a dear friend taking care of me and the guy at the front who was checking us in helped me find my insurance information he didn't have to do that but he did! This hospital is so clean and professional and on top of it I couldn't ask for anything more. thank you to each and everyone of the staff members and doctors and nurses there!

This hospital should be shut down or put under different management. The staff and doctors act in ways that are both harmful to patients and illegal and there is no oversight to prevent it. They literally shot me up with an opiate against my will to make me sick so they could send me down to arrowhead regional knowing my previously mild condition would become severe as a result of my inability to eat.
I went into a catatonic psychotic episode, from which I am still experiencing PTSD flashbacks, meanwhile the doctor responsible, Cheryl Reeder, is likely still behaving in this abhorrent and reprehensible manner
