My wife had very mixed experiences during her two weeks at Holmes Regional. On the minus side:
Her death certificate lists the primary cause of death as 'health care associated pneumonia', with three different resistant, hospital acquired, infections: staying there killed her.
Care on the fourth floor was very spotty. For three whole days the hospital failed to give her the thyroid hormone and diabetes medications she depended on. Nurses and their aides ranged from very good to very rough and insensitive. She would often have to wait, and wait, and wait, for pain medication.
On the plus side: care in the ICU and sixth floor was very good. And her surgeon is outstanding.
My overall view: what good is outstanding surgery if you can't survive the d----d hospital.
