What patients say about Peterson Health

I was unexpectedly a patient at Peterson for four days, from the emergency room to the West Wing of the 3rd floor. Everyone - nurses, doctors, technicians, maintenance staff, food service, administrators, etc. - treated me with care and concern. I certainly did not want to be in the hospital, but they all made the stay a lot easier. Any call from me was answered immediately. The doctor on staff during my stay explained things in terms I could understand. Food service checked with me if I hadn't called as usual. Special services personnel checked on me there and when I got home. And, a special thank you to the wonderful nurses and technicians who were with me 24 hrs a day. You all are great!
