"I still feel traumatized from being there it was a horrific experience. ... At ECMC they don’t even try because they know they can’t get fired because of the nursing shortage."

LocalityBiz review

"The two psychiatric emergency departments are overburdened and in turn, the care received at ECMC was horrible for my son. I was depressed, feeling helpless and I often cried after leaving there."
