Alexian Brothers Medical Center (COE) Hospital

Friendly staff and great support programs.

I thought the hospital was clean and the staff was efficient.

I had nurses that actually enjoyed going to work and doing their job. They were wonderful!

My room was near the nurses staion and was not very quiet unless the door was closed. Often times the medical staff would come in and forget to close the door behind them. The room was very cold.

I received exceptional care. They always introduced themselves, checked my id bracelet and informed me of what they were going to do.
The only bad thing is that they seem a little short staffed on Sunday afternoon/evenings. Some of the nurses let the iv alarms go off until you call them to reset it. In the middle of the night I felt like going to the persons room beside me to silent his alarm. I know if I can hear it that the nurses can too. This only happened on Sunday, so I assumed they were understaffed on that day.

Very accomodating.

I can truly say this hospital is the best hospital i ever stepped foot in for any kind of services.

I am happy with accomadations and most of the medical staff, There were a few areas that need sensitivity classes. Like the information desk and the valet parkers and the cafateria staff who stare, laugh, and make rude comments about people.

From the moment I came in to to pre-op thru the recovery room and into my hospital room, I was treated with kindness and compassion. They took care of my every need and anticipated what I needed before I even asked for it. If I had pain they didn't want me to have pain, if I was warm they found me a fan, they bathed me when I couldn't do it myself and they made sure I had swabs for my mouth because I could have not a drop of anything. They made what could have been a very hard and lonely week much easier and I felt very safe. The team on Surgical 6 East was outstanding to me. Amy & Amy, Sarah, Cassie, Anna, Laura and Gerald are the best!

I heard that Alexian is building a new area for weight loss patients. I hope that is true. They use regular beds for patients, and put me in a small room with a lady that just had a hysterrectamy sp? She was in so much pain, and I felt bad telling her I had an "elective" surgery when she just had her organs removed and was only in her 30's.
