"This August I went to the emergency room and was admitted to the hospital. My experience was excellent. With speed and efficiency, the doctors and nurses were making sure that my symptoms were not being caused by either a stroke or heart attack. I was cared for with respect and with thoroughness. Tests were quickly scheduled. I left feeling that I had received the best care possible."
