i received excellent care. I had not been a patient there for many years and had heard not so good things but my experience, although horrible for me health wise , was quite good. Apparently i was a horrible patient , although i don't remember, but they saved my life more than once during my stay. The nurses were experienced and knowledgeable. I can't thank them enough
As nice as the people in the little town are, I was mortified at the way I was treated at this hospital. I was at the beach with my husband (newly married) and had to be rushed to the ER because of severe Abdominal pain and female problems I won't go into. The Care was excellent EXCEPT it took 4 doses of pain medication ( and very STRONG medicine, not Morphine ) to get my pain under control which I thought was odd. My nurse always seemed a To " creep " up behind me " allegedly" putting it in my IV without even telling me what she was doing. I had had this medication before Abdul usually 2 doses and I'm out of it. It's also Customary for the nurse to TELL the patient when medication is being given which she didn't untilThe 4th and Final dose which finally worked. I TRUELY believe that I was NOT given the first 3 dudes of pain medication and that the nurse, Anna, a newly signed on staff nurse from Georgia who was a traveling nurse when I visited this very same hospital with my Mother in Law a few weeks prior. She was incredibly nice during my last visit when my Mother in Law was the patient, but when I was the patient and had severe pain, not to mention significant findings on my Cat Scan, I'm not sure what got into her and I truly believe she diverted drugs that were ordered for me! She also gave me a hard time when I was checking out only to notice that my Date if Birth was wrong which I BROUGHT to her attention. Suddenly a big commotion was made that my ID didn't have my married name on it ( I'm NEWLY married, I haven't had time to get my ID changed) but the mistake I made was coming in the hospital under my Married name which didn't match my ID. She even tried to convince the doctor not to write me a prescription leading him to believe I was drug seeking ( he OFFERED me a prescription as two huge fibroid tumors were found on my uterus ) I NEVER even asked for it. I'm still in SHOCK that this Nurse has a job and I reported her to her manager ( a waste of time, some older lady named Melissa ) and the Alaska Board Of Nursing as Melissa refused to drug test her. I have NEVER been treated so badly in a hospital and I plan to get to the bottom of why it took SO much medication to give me adequate pain relief then this Nurse tried talking the doctor OUT of giving me a prescription ( or maybe writing one and keeping it for herself? Who knows.. but something was definitely VERY wrong with this Nurse and her very odd behavior. I saw her administer 1 dose of pain medication to me during the 5 hours I was there and 4 doses I got. Something's NOT right. Do yourself a favor and ask for a DIFFERENT Nurse if you stumble upon an ER nurse with a Southern Accent named Anna. I hope if your in Pain you WATCH HER give you your medications!
This is a wonderful hospital with dedicated staff who focus their skills on restoring your health.
my friend Ocean was born here many years ago, he turned out to be a massive twitch streamer providing entertainment to the universe, if you are born here you will be blessed by Jesus ! much love baby
Money grab
Took my husband to the ER, but was not allowed to go back with him. If the roads were better, I would have driven up to Soldotna and Central Peninsula Hospital. This uncaring, cold, no communication needs to change.
I had a great experience at this ER. I was treated quickly, immediately given pain meds, had exrays and diagnosed a fractured clavicle in less than 2 hours. They checked on me frequently and both the doctor and nurses were excellent.
Dr Cotton, Dr Martinez, Dr Boling, Dr Adcox on a recent ER visit and admittance gave me the best care imaginable! A gracious thank you to them and great Acute Care staff!
I go here almost everyday for lunch they have an array of options for any pallet and are super affordable. The staff is also very friendly and helpful
I am from Kansas and I have stage 4 renal cell carcinoma. I am in Homer for the summer and have to have blood work done every month. The women in the lab are wonderful and professional. They are very good at there job. They always treat me with care and respect. Thank you ladies.
Good Hospital, great location, great staff, and great care. I think many need to drive down to SPH to understand what good care really looks like. Soldotna could learn a thing or two about service done right.
The s best hospital on the Peninsula
Wonderful respiratory therapists and doctors, but some of the staff gave my entire family cdiff.
The staff here is amazing. It actually feels like a hospital is supposed to. They actually want to help you.
These guys are great , I came out pain free , they really know what they're doing !
