Va Black Hills Healthcare System – Fort Meade

This VA healthcare facility provides excellent healthcare from caring nurses and professional providers.

The doctor we saw was prompt to see my spouse and was proficient. As a medical professional, I have multiple concerns about hygiene and patient safety. I had one nurse walk out on patient care because I said it was unsanitary to use equipment on a patient they were holding in their mouth. Instead of apologizing , this individual argued it was in a package. Which I then pointed out he would be opening and contaminate the divice inside he intended to use. He then said it was fine . I informed him I was a nurse ..and my husband was sick enough and didn't need to be exposed to anything else ..he replied good for you and walked out on care. The nurse who took over was extremely efficient and caring, however started an IV AND MEDS WITHOUT GLOVES ON. She also opened the end of the extender with her teeth. A caregiver's mouth should never be used in patient care. The staff lack the basics of hygiene and could possibly be causing diseases to spread. This makes me sad to see as a medical professional and the wife of a veteran. They deserve top quality care. They should not need someone at beside to ensure basic hygiene is done while they are I'll.

Compared to many throughout the country, this VA Hospital is very good.

I'm proud to call this VA Hospital my primary hospital. The staff at all levels and locations has always treated me perfectly. I would give 5 stars if it was not such an old building needing some repairs.

The people in this V A medical Center are the best that I have seen yet. Topnuch Drs and nurses to help get you in good health again,most of the people there understand and are willing to help you in any way they can. That is to be said of all the personal as well as the people who are there to see there Drs. To.
