I am the former Chief Financial Officer of El Centro Regional Medical Center. I brought my 1-year old son to the Emergency Room this past Spring for a fever and lethargy. The Emergency Room staff were not only completely unprofessional they appeared to not care about my son's health issues whatsoever.
We waited nearly an entire day and they still had no idea how to treat him.
They were unclean and failed to clean and disinfect the rooms when patients sneezed, vomited and exhibited contagious situations.
Also when I asked staff to help guide my wife and son to my office after they were finished once I identified myself as the facility's CFO, a nurse was heard saying completely unprofessional and disparaging things.
I brought this to the senior leadership the following week hoping my negative experience wound be addressed yet no one seemed to care and I never heard back on what would be done to correct.

In summary if this hospitals behavior toward senior leadership is indicative of how they treat YOU or your loved ones, I would look at Pioneers Memorial or perhaps go to Yuma or even San Diego.
Although this hospital puts on a good "front" that they care about the patients... They don't!

They care more about stealing your money and providing substandard healthcare. The CEO is used car salesman doing nothing more than taking the Imperial County through a healthcare snow job.

They will be out of money by October 2018 unless they are bailed out their affiliation with University of California San Diego.

Did not be fooled. ECRMC is s horrible organization from the top down and you and your loved ones will suffer as a result of you take them there. BEWARE!

Worst hospital I’ve ever been to. There are major infection control issues here and it is extremely dirty. The nurses do not clean in between patients leaving all of those infectious germs for the next patient to catch. The providers and nurses are not very competent. The nurses who for the most part are traveling nurses talk bad about patients where others can hear. If you have a choice don’t waste your time or money here they don’t have your best interest at heart.

They should be ashamed with their standard of care. Terrible, no communication between the hospitalist,

I have mixed feelings about this hospital, when my grandma passed away in September 2015 they were so nice and let us sleep on the floor next to her bed. The ER is a different story though, they are slow and not friendly. One time a nurse was trying to get blood and all my blood got all over my bed and he said “I have no idea what I’m doing”...my aunt asked him what he meant and he left.

Was here for 7 hours had some blood tests and other normal tests done in the end the doctor came back saying it was just a normal infection dont really think it was had other symptoms thta he said said were completly unnrelated im going to have to go to mexicali or the brawley hospital for a secon opinion. Wasnt offered water or food and after made me swallow 9 pills wich made my stomach hurt because i had no food for 7 hours not sure whats going on here most people that had sever treatment that came after me where done in 2 to 3 hours. Dont know why the testing took so long maybe they did have to check a lot of things im not a doctor so I wouldnt know just sharing my experience.
