Kennewick General Hospital

My overall visit was good, they could improve on some things and others were great.

Very poor sanitation practices by nurses, they never sanitized their hands before or after treating me, let alone put on a glove.

I really enjoyed the staff. They were very friendly and courteous. I wish I could remember all their names because they were all very special.

With the exception of one nurse, the care i received while in the ICU was AMAZING.

I picked up a lovely case of MRSA while at this hospital

An excellent smaller hospital. Although buit in the 1950's, it has been updated. The staff was very caring and attentive.

Helpful and (mostly) friendly nursing staff were always available when I needed them and usually before. I appreciate that they took the time to do things like write the date on a white board and crack a joke from time to time. Most importantly, they didn't kick the foley too terribly often (ZAP!).

There were a couple of brief instances where it was clear that communication between staff had suffered a bit, but, without fail, the staff ably tended to my recovery and comfort.

I have been an R.N. for almost 30 years and have worked in about 7 different hospitals. I've also been a patient 3 other times. The staff at KGH gave me excellent care from beginning to end. I felt safe and well cared for the whole time. They have inspired me to make sure my patients where I work, feel as safe and cared for under my care.

I only have one sort of negative comment about my stay... There was a nurse there who thought I should try and ween myself off of the pain meds two days out. Ugh! I wanted to wring her neck. LOL Fortunatly, Doc, gives his cell phone number to his patients and I called him up and told on her. LOL Of course Doc took care of it and I was on my way to less pain in about five minutes. Other than that one nurse at that one time everything was wonderful. Thank you all you wonderful people=)

Everyone (staff) was wonderfully accommodating and showed real concern and care for me. I truly appreciate all the help they gave me.

Hospital and staff were excellent.
