The hospital is adequate for basic care...only.

The hospital is adequate for basic care...only.
If you or your loved one have complex medical needs I Can Not recommend this hospital, especially if you anticipate intensive care.

The practitioners at this hospital did not seem to have the knowledge or experience needed to deal with complex issues and consequently risk of harm is higher and was experienced.

More importantly than that, I believe "attitudes effect outcomes". The overall attitude of the practitioners (especially doctors) seemed to lack the life giving approach you would want when you go to a hospital seeking help. I felt as though they looked at the negatives and disabilities vs the positives and the will to overcome. Due to our complexities, we felt as though we were a burden. Due to the overall negative attitude many important details that lead to quality care were overlooked.

We have been to hospitals that do not focus on the disability and diagnosis but rather work to overcome the current hurdle and celebrate that success. They eagerly work to maximize whatever ability or potential is there without focusing on the lack. We have left those hospitals with success and gratitude.

Sadly I leave Providence Everett with an overall sense of regret we chose to go there. Their attitude is one that focuses on the lack rather than the ability. They do not understand the power of the will to live.

Attitudes effect outcomes. I hope they can someday see that.
