“My son was seen in the ER for a broken elbow/arm. The break was so severe that
my son needed surgery. The ER, radiology and admitting departments were fabulous!
The quality of care my son received was outstanding and everyone worked together
to make him feel comfortable before we were transferred. Thank you very much!"

“After suffering a serious leg injury, I chose your ER and I'm so happy that I made that decision! Everyone involved in my care performed to the highest standard and all were compassionate and courteous. Because of the excellent care I received, I'm doing better than I could have imagined. You may be the smallest ER in Rock County, but I truly believe that you are the best!"
