What do patients have to say about their experiences at Chan Soon-Shiong Medical Center at Windber?

“I like the 6 AM start for labs. Staff is nice and it is quick.”

“I only have good things to say about your hospital. My son was born in 1983 in your facility – 14 years later he almost died from a medical emergency similar to a burst appendix. Your amazing staff and surgeon saved his life. My husband’s life was also saved by your wonderful ER staff during a cardiac event in 2017.”

“I just wanted express my sincere appreciation for the excellent care and service you have provided me in my recent stay with you. Your staff is very trained and so considerate of every detail of my stay. I want to thank you for an excellent work up of my problems. You provided an up-to-date, state-of-the-art investigation of my criteria and have produced an excellent plan for my recovery. I can’t mention every name of all those who provided care but all the nurses, doctors, technicians, service and maintenance people, wheel chair operators, and all aides are excellent, trained, and very cordial. Again thank you for an excellent experience. And God Bless your entire staff.”

The lab was quick (and painless) and the CT Department let me know right away that the wait time for the scan would be about an hour, so I knew what to expect. Great staff in each department. Thank you.”

“I have severe “white coat” syndrome. I am 70 years old and have never had a PCP. From the time I had the courage to make the call, until I was on my way for bloodwork, everyone, especially Jamie Hicks, was so kind, understanding, patient and compassionate. CSSMCW for me!”

“Nurses were very understanding and quick in providing my pain medication and other ways of keeping me comfortable as possible. When I was permitted to eat but couldn’t eat at dinner, one very nice aid got me vegetable soup and probably the best cheese sandwich I think I’ve ever had! She was great!”

He’s also hearing impaired. The techs did an absolutely EXCELLENT job of working with him. They were professional, efficient… but most of all, they were kind to him. In today’s world, especially the world of medicine, patients are only numbers on a page… but these two were simply EXCEPTIONAL in their jobs. Please know this was very much appreciated by both my husband and myself. As we continue to deal with his developing health issues, I will feel both confident and comfortable in bringing him to your facility. Thank you for having such a great and caring staff.

“We walked into the respiratory department at Chan Soon-Shiong Medical Center at Windber in hopes of finding a pulmonary doctor for my husband on Monday. Our real hope was to actually have that doctor X-ray him and diagnose his cough that hadn’t responded to penicillin. We were successful, but only because we came upon an angel named Stacey, who made it happen. You could have easily said you couldn’t help, or that you were busy (which you were), or that you would have to redirect us. But no, your compassionate heart and professionalism caused you to pick up the phone and you continued dialing until you made the impossible happen and both my husband and I are eternally grateful that we found you when we had given up all hope. Thank you seems so trite, but it is most sincere. May the Lord ever richly bless you for your goodness and kindness.

Then he ran some more tests and when he got the reports from the other hospital he even went over them and explained that he was upset about the way they had treated me.

Thanks again and please keep up the good work.”

Professionalism is the key to this from check in to sign out. They make you feel like a person NOT a number. Right now I live in Johnstown and refuse to go there for treatment of any kind. Your doctors and nurses are the best I have ever come across. You should be proud of each and every one of them. I will never go to our local hospital here. Thank you so much for giving the public such a nice place to go. The doctors are SO competent and honest; and the nurses, sheer perfection.

“Our physical therapist Greg was excellent! Very informative and helpful, definitely had my best interest in mind with exercise program.”

Mike, the occupational therapist, explained to me how to keep spaces clear for my walker, explained exercises and why they were needed. He walked me with walker and cane. The nurse’s aides were so professional and made me feel comfortable. All were good; Shannon was my favorite, so professional. My nurse Damian was so, so professional and made me feel at ease from taking blood, giving shots, fixing my Dexcom, and getting medications ready. Everyone was experienced and wonderful. If need be, I would love to have them all back.”

“I have to relay my experience with Home Health. When the doctor said I needed this I was scared… scared because of my illness, the IV’s at home, and all that goes with that. In that first day Missy came and showed me how and what to expect. Then Codi came and she was the angel that came into my life. She is beyond the definition of a nurse and made me feel safe and noticed. She took absolutely the best care of me. She made me well and made me smile. She is the best and words can’t express how I feel about her. So very competent and knowledgeable.”

The patience and attention shown not only to our mother, but to all of us, was outstanding. You listened when we asked questions and explained situations so clearly. You all became like family. You should all be so proud of yourselves and what you do. You as individuals and your services provided are simply awesome. Pat yourselves on the back and keep doing what you are doing.

Cannot find the words to thank all of you enough, so we will just say Thank You!”

“Let me take a moment to express how thankful we are that we had Windber Hospice for our mother’s end of life care. Every moment she encountered was awesome care combined with love and respect. She, who could be very careful, cautious and discerning, never doubted you. When she spent time in the PCU, she actually liked it. You allowed her freedom to be herself and to also be cared for. I admire all the nursing staff who could be that professional and also flexible. And cookie baking! You were awesome! Our care at home was always complete-with expertise, with every question answered and every issue addressed. We have to love all the home nurses that visited us. I have such respect for you, and we consider you to be our friends, and so did she. She was very intone with new ways of healing and Dr. Warshel was sent by God to be her doctor. She was so energized by any new approach and so open to the alternatives that in many places would have never been suggested. She and Dr. Warshel were on the same wavelength from day one. I will miss all of you. You provided healing and care for this whole family. We really love all of you who were her caregivers. I hope we have the opportunity to support your work in the future. The book does not close. We just turn the page to begin a new chapter. We are so pleased to have all of you in this family’s story. God Bless, A grateful CSSMCW family.”

“We wanted to let all of you know what grateful hearts we have for the wonderful care that you gave to our husband and father these last few months. The first time meeting with Barbra and Diane was calming for my mom and I. Diane and Melanie, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful care that you gave to him. Diane, thank you for all of your phone calls to me each week to let me know how my dad was doing. Thank you for all of your nursing care and the love that you showed my dad. He was so lucky to have you there watching over him and seeing to it that he was comfortable and not having pain or discomfort. I also wanted to thank the volunteers and the chaplain that came to my dad’s room to comfort us and support us as we said goodbye to our wonderful husband and father. Thank you so much Debbie who came to the funeral home to see that we were okay and offered wonderful words of comfort and encouragement about the days and weeks ahead and that the hospice would still be with us. It is difficult to find the right words to thank all of you, but we know that he says thank you as well. He was blessed to have Diane and Melanie there for him.”
