Evangelical Community Hospital

This is a honest review and not bias to the several dozen one star reviews this hospital has. Sorry but only can give a one star as can't rate it any lower. Writing on behalf of patient and under circumstances given, whether it was in order or not but never got to see a Dr in the ER only nurse. Knowing the extent of illness and very important medicine should have a full month's worth instead of partial and assume we can get the medicine from another clinic. It seems health was not priority here when they were fully aware that not only it may be difficult getting the medicine which is very important but was in high regard.

My granddaughter came to visit me and complained for 3 days of severe pains in her side after much debate about where to go fir her emergency I chose to Evangelical Community Hospital cuz it was closer to me. I wasn’t really sure who would give her the best care cuz just moved to Northumberland County from NJ so I just went with Evangelical and to my surprise it was the best place cuz they had to perform an operation to remove her appendix and if I hadn’t have gone there she could have died because her appendix was on the verge of bursting!!!! But thank God for the staff at Evangelical Community Hospital for moving quickly and assessing her health accurately!!!!! My Fiancé is there now for heart problems and I’m very certain they are taking excellent care of him!!! It’s a small hospital with a big heart and caring staff!!

My son was born here, my wife works here and we have always been well taken care of when we need to come in.

Waited 4 hours to be brought back to a room to be seen. Patient severity level was shortness of breathe and a rapid spreading infection. I believe the did not triage the patient correctly resulting in a malpractice law suit.

Have an emergency? Stay clear from this money seeking giant. They could care less about you. Seeing a doctor is like seeing a unicorn. If you happen to see one of these unicorns, they are worthless or have no beside manner. One doctor performed a procedure on me without me knowing what she was going to do and what it was. Even though I entered the facility with obvious issues and gave them an alarming specimen of my problem. They were insistent on releasing me - especially after blacking out in the lobby and body color going lighter than pale. After a while, they talked to the “committee” of doctors and they stated I should be admitted. But, the care I received there was less than that in the ED. I could go further but its simpler to just say, stay away. They dont care about you, just your money. To them, you’re just a number. On record, my medical problems were not resolved, I was given no medications, and they could not determine my cause of blood loss or blackout/loss of vision. But, I’m cleared to go home so I can enter another hospital.
