Hillsboro Area Hospital

In the past five years, that I've taken family members of mine to the hospital (or they were brought in via ambulance), the service in the emergency room has been atrocious. My grandma's most recent visit was the last straw -- ER doctor didn't do a damn thing about her stroke incident, said "there's nothing we can do." Ummm, yes, there are things you can do, but you're too lazy to do it! My issues lie exclusively on service in the ER. (No issues with the nursing staff outside of the ER, as they've always been wonderful to her. It's only because of them and their dedicated care inside the hospital as to why I did not rate this 1-star.) Next time a family member of mine has to go to the ER, I'll make sure it will never be to this hospital or Pana Community Hospital. My grandma and/or uncle will be going to HSHS St. Francis or Taylorville Memorial, both of which have far better service in the ER.

I waited just a little more than just an hour for an xray at Hillsboro Hospital (not very long) but they weren't told I was there so understandable. But I just received a McDonald's gift card and an apology letter in the mail! This is extremely thoughtful! Thank you so much! A very good hospital.

Poor staff ER Dr's took 9 hrs for a room. Poor nursing staff more interest in EMT photos and not registering teen patient with broken hand. Diagnosed incorrectly sent home with colon bleeding. Told to report to Dr in Springfield in two weeks. Went to St louis next day had emergency colonoscopy was told top con had no blood supply it was dying. Told if I waited 2 weeks as hillsboro we told me I would have been dead. Hillsboro hospital is a bandage only hospital use great caution with them. Team rehab is wonderful. Great knowledgeable staff.

Not that I would recommend anyone go to the ER, but IF the occasion presents it's self I would highly recommend staying local and going to Hillsboro Area Hospital. They are extremely polite, and provide fantastic care without having to wait hours to be seen.
