UPDATE: I checked in on 6/22 for surgery. I had never had to stay overnight in a hospital, but had had family overnight in a few places. AU Health is AWESOME!!! From beginning to end ALL, but one, were so pleasant, kind, efficient, knowledgeable and "on the ball!" The one just had a bit of a "why are you bothering me?" tone of voice, BUT she immediately got the help I needed. I was very grateful that when I pushed the call button, someone answered within seconds and there was someone that came to help me, usually within 30 seconds. It was like I was the only patient on the floor... now that's service!!! The volunteers are also very well trained, knowledgeable and friendly!
I read some complaints about long wait times. In those cases, not knowing all the facts, it sounds as if many are from waiting in ED. My first visit here on March 3rd, had a bit of a wait time, but I was not critical. If I had been, I certainly would have wanted them to take me before taking someone that was not critical... so would you.
FROM A FOLLOW-UP VISIT:
Always great care from a friendly staff! I drive 45 minutes just to go there instead of the local hospital that's only 15 minutes from me. Worth the time, every time.
