Mercy Health — St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital

A family member of mine was transported to the cardiovascular lab last week. All of the employees in that unit are just great! Nurses Heather, Kim and Jan were absolutely WONDERFUL! Dr. Sweeney is the one who did the procedure. He gave my family and I the best Christmas present anyone could ask for when he had told us that the procedure was a success. Thank you all for your hard work!

Don't get me wrong, there are a few good employees here, but when it takes over 2 hours to get a pitcher of ice water something's wrong. I have to be here on an inpatient basis because of a work accident. My door and privacy curtain are constantly left open and the lights left on at night. I guess when you're a patient here, you deserve no privacy or afforded dignity.

My daughter was in the ER brought in by ambulance after a motor vehicle accident and I couldn’t believe how dirty it was for a hospital. The bottom of her bed looked like it had been outside for weeks. And the restroom was gross been in cleaner Porta Johns. Care was decent but would not go back there by choice at all! Unsanitary for a hospital facility!

If I could do a minus star I would. This place is atrocious! Cleanliness: none. Nurses leave items strewn around the room (including hypodermics) and don't bother to clean up. Soiled linens (including bloodied items) just tossed on chairs and left, papers from items thrown on the floor and left, etc. Care: (or lack of) The nursing staff could care less about the patients and/or their families. (At least the nurses I came in contact with on the 8th floor did not including the charge nurse) They don't LISTEN. They assume that because they have a degree they know it all and can play God with people's lives. We know our families and how they live and what they do. Your degree does not give you that insight. Doctors: In the middle of a conversation with a doctor, his cell phone rang. Without excusing himself from my conversation, he answered his phone, finished that conversation then said to me "I have to make this short. Some one is waiting" REALLY? I do not understand how this place can operate the way it does. They don't KNOW people and how they live. You cannot assume it's someone's "time" when it isn't. Communication: When some one passes, WHY does it take 2 hours to inform the family what happened? Because they all have to get their stories straight. Why? Because the truth will get them a wrongful death suit, which is exactly what our family should have done! I'm telling you folks, if you've lost anyone in your family at this hospital, look into it thoroughly! Do what you have to do to get answers asap! I do not understand how these people get up and look at themselves every day knowing what they did and do. Nursing degrees are apparently all about the "degree" not about the caring, compassion and understanding that they should have. Are there no acreditaion rules or regulations to follow? Does anyone ever check to see if they are doing what they are supposed to do? If not and apparently not, they need to! Avoid this hospital at all costs!!!

I am a new employee here and I love it! Finally a professional setting where the employer values and respects its employees. And yes, that includes the 'great' Cleveland Clinic:)
