In patients' words
"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."
