What Our Patients Say About Us

Week of April 22

“In the first 3 months of this year, my brother and I have observed the care and concern of the Associates of Hays Medical Center from the perspective of a patient, rather, than in my case as Director of the Hadley Foundation Art Collection. The concern and care by the Associates was truly provided by dedicated professional people. Each one displayed such concern and care in treating us over an extended time. Not only am I impressed with the quality of care, but the positive attitude was extremely helpful in the process of recovery. I wish to acknowledge the two physicians especially in the quick response in discovering and following through recovery: Dr. Kevin McDonald and Dr. Steve Waring. How fortunate we are in having such dedicated people.”

“We compliment the Pastoral Staff for all their care and love and support. All the nurses in ICU who took care of Jim on the weekend of April 8-11. The nurses, doctors and all those in the cath lab. Everyone took incredible care of our dad/husband and were very understanding and patient to answer all our questions. We highly compliment and thank everyone.”

I enjoyed my stay. Tasha and Barb made me feel comfortable. Everyone in the stress testing lab were wonderful. I will recommend this hospital to everyone who is in need of cardiac care. They are all loved.” (CPCU)

“The care received while here has been incredible! All of the nurses have been phenomenal not only for John but for our whole family. A special thanks to Kara, Brooke, Janice, Peggy, Jennifer, Rachelle, Susan, Brenda and Eugenia! They all went above and beyond making our time here as great of an experience as possible! Thank you for all your wonderful care!” (Inpatient Rehab)

“We were so impressed with the care our mother received while on the 3rd floor. Leah, Garrett, Fernando, and Lance, just to name a few, were AWESOME!” (Medical Unit)

“We always get such great service that this is where we always come. Everybody does such caring work and we never want for anything.” (CPCU)

“I very much want you to know the outstanding post surgery care I received in Rm 248 on April 25, 26. I especially want to commend nurses Ashley, Faye, and one other whose name I cannot remember. Caring, efficient and supportive. Likewise, the PCTs were kind, available, and willing to help even when short staffed. You should be very proud of your second floor staff. I have unfortunately been in many hospitals around the country and this care rates A+.” (Surgical Unit)

“I appreciate all the caring people who helped me today. Thanks!” (Cath Lab)

“Awesome! Give yourselves a GOLD STAR!!! Keep up the good work! You are all caring!” (Cath Lab)

“I felt very welcome and taken care of. Unbelievable care and genuine concern. I love the warm blankets. Patrick and Shawn were so kind. The nurses checked on me often and made the wait very entertaining and helped calm my nerves. You guys are all great! Thanks for turning a potentially scary visit into a pleasant experience.” (Cath Lab)

“The physician did an exceptional job. He was friendly, thorough, listened to our concerns, and helpful. We were very pleased with him.” (ED)

“All I can say about my treatments here have been exceptionally great. Everyone I met was great. Phyllis did a great job. I can’t say anything wrong with anyone. Michelle is a sweetheart, I will never forget her. Also Jana, I love you all and the way you treated me. God bless you in the work you do.” (Inpatient PT/OT/ST)

“Susan was great to work with. She was friendly and encouraging during the test. You should be proud to have her as an employee.” (HOI - MRI)

“Peggy and Skye always get us in when I call. They are my saviors!” (Hays Family Medicine)

“In procedure room, both nurses were very caring and very on top of their game. Dr. Kahn was very thorough and explained things to me very well. Everything was on schedule. I was impressed!” (Ambulatory Surgery)

“Jackie was a very good nurse. She made me feel very comfortable. Ms. Bollig was also very good. She explained everything to me and was very gentle.” (Ambulatory Surgery)

Week of April 15

“All the nurses and students both in the hospital and rehab center were very considerate and helpful. Brooke and Kent on the evening shift were exceptional and going out of their way to help. I appreciated that very much.” (Inpatient Rehab)

“Clayton was flown in with a breathing tube to Medical ICU on 3-29. His night nurse, Curt, was the best for Clayton and for me as well. He answered all my questions and explained all that was going on. I appreciated absolutely everything Curt did for us. He is very good at his job. He had me call during the night just to check in – explaining what was going on and how the night had gone. Clayton was very happy with the care Curt gave him.” (MS-ICU)

“I was in Rm 348. I had Lance as a nurse and I like him. He has a good sense of humor and always made me smile when he walked in the room. I can tell he truly cares about the patients and he enjoys his job. Any patient would be lucky to have him as a nurse for he shows he cares about each patient. It is always scary being in the hospital, but he made it easier with his friendliness and sense of humor.” (Medical Unit)

“I was very impressed with how nice and gentle the nurses were and how consistent they were with checking on me and my son.” (Women’s Center)

“I cannot say enough about how great your staff is. During my stay they were constantly attentive, concerned, friendly, and professional. I will definitely come again should the need arise.” (CPCU)

“We would like to thank everyone at HayMed from the surgeon, nurses, nurse practitioners, housekeeping, aides, and respiratory therapists. As a team effort they saved Lloyd’s life. The ICU Unit nurses are the best I have ever seen. They knew their stuff and were confident in what they were doing! The floor nurses on the step down u nit were all cracking good!! They all as a team gave him support for a new life. Thank you is not enough!” (CPCU & ICU)

“I have a lot of faith in this hospital and the people who work here. I have been here 4 times and have met people employed here – all have been friendly and helpful.” (Cath Lab)

“Dr. Pfannenstiel was informative and compassionate. Jason was great. I thoroughly enjoyed his skill – and his humor.” (ED)

“We looked lost when entering the building and someone in the hall directed us promptly. Super friendly – everyone single person!” (Ambulatory Surgery)

“This is my first visit to HaysMed as a patient I must say every person who I came in contact with was awesome. Very professional, polite and very caring. I was never treated as a problem but a person. Phyllis was great joy. Lindsey took the time to stop at Walmart on her way home to pick up some clothes for me. This lady is 1st class all the way! The entire staff here are one of a kind. Thank you all so much.” (Inpatient PT/OT/ST)
