In patients' words
"The hospital and leadership is amazing"
— Vivian Health review of Norton Sound Regional Hospital"The reason for his lies is that multiple patient visits look better on our statistics; the downside is that patient care suffers. Numbers are what matters to the bureaucrats. To me, patient care is what matters."
