In patients' words
"Every staff person that crossed my health care path was responsive, supportive, and competent... The ER nurse and doctor, the floor nurses, the hospitalist, my surgeon, my anesthesiologist... all performed their duties at a 'WOW' level."
— Iowa Specialty Hospital Patient Story"Emergency room waiting times are very long and unprofessional... Repeated complaints about rude front-desk staff, misrouted calls, and emergency-room delays point to a cultural inconsistency that can derail care before it begins."
