My brother is severely handicapped. Due to his health issue we had to take him to the ER twice this week. The staff is amazing. They provided quick assessment and care for my brother. They are compassionate. As a Paramedic I have the opportunity to visit many ERs all over the country. St. Joe's staff is one of the kindest I have encountered. Its rare to find excellent care with compassionate. Thank you so much for the care you gave my brother.

I just had an induction yesterday for my first baby and have had such an amazing experience. My labor and delivery nurse was Emilee and she was just nothing short of amazing/awesome. She was so encouraging and funny. She was such an awesome support person to have there throughout the process. When it actually got down to the labor and induction itself, I was aided by Dr. Fraser and Dr. Malmberg. Also ABSOLUTELY amazing! They had great bedside manor and made the whole process and experience just so positive. The nurse that came to help me and baby after delivery was also great! She helped me so much with baby in the first two hours between skin to skin and latching. She was so great and gentle with our baby. I’m now in the family birth center and have had Patsy as my nurse since 7pm last night. She has been so great with showing me how to swaddle, change diapers, and really great techniques to make breastfeeding as easy as possible for both baby and me. If I have another baby, I will 100% come back to CHI Franciscan as this has been such a positive experience. Thank you so much L&D team and Family Birth Center team! We so appreciate you

If you’re giving birth be extra educated. They love to take advantage of first time moms. They also won’t release the name of the midwife who birthed my son and damaged my body because she was tired of waiting for me to push him out. (Both of us were stable this whole time mind you and he was not stuck.) I got post partum depression and still currently in counseling for my experience here. Stole my birth experience from me and faith in the goodness of obstetrics. You’re a project that’s on a time limit at this hospital. So go in being able to advocate for yourself and know when they’re lying.

The staff were very kind and understanding. When there was a little delay, they would let me know. The staff made sure I was comfortable while I waited for my surgery time. One nurse, name Angel was wonderful and made everything comfortable and a great listener.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Who is responsible for the horrible staffing and high prices at St Joes?

George Nada | Aug 11, 2022
George Nada | Aug 12, 2022

As far as I'm concerned a hospital is still a hospital and should be managed and run as such.

Why is it that whenever we end up at ST Joes and are told that a bed would be available, there is never a bed available. We end up having to stay days in a room in thr ER or in the surgery recovery area. What a joke. I will never come here again.

St Jo Hsptl is the best.Every procedure I have had done has been at this Hsptl. Even if I've had to wait. No place is able to give you the special treatment you're use to getting before Covid. Rules have changed with the times. They can't push people in like they use to do. And lined up on gurneys in the hall. They're doing the best they can at this time.

Why is healthcare so inflated? It's like buying a new car.

Mexico might be an alternative. At your own risk. 😕 All who work and still cant afford good health insurance feel the same way.

Who discharges a patient who just had her appendix removed and 33 weeks pregnant at 11p at night and expect her to find a pharmacy that is 24 hours to fill her prescription that accepts her insurance before the last meds given wears out??

Valorie Virgen | Aug 11, 2022
Valorie Virgen | Aug 12, 2022

We ended up going to two 24 hour pharmacies. 1 didnt have the med she needed the other was able to fill. 2 hours later finally she was home in bed by 130a. Why they decided so late in the evening is just crazy to me. They gave us 1 hour notice.

Can I get a blood draw done on a Saturday?

Phillip Hughes | Aug 11, 2022
David Flanagan | Aug 12, 2022

It should be possible if your PCP has asked you to have one done. I would goto the lab and request said blood draw. I know that is how it was to me. I hope this has been helpful to you.

Aloha, I would like to send a thank you card and gift of cookies to the nurses in Oncology for attending to my uncle who passed away in June. He was on the 10th floor. They were so kind and compassionate. How should I address my package?

L Edwards | Aug 12, 2022

I wish I knew as well, they also took care of my mother who passed on July 30th. There were so many nurses and doctors that I can't name them all.

What type of unit is Delta 8 in your facility?

Dar Ko | Aug 11, 2022
Thomas A | Aug 12, 2022

Do you have a floor number? Delta is probably referring to the quad while 8 is referring to the room number. It's usually something like 6D7 or 9C3. The first number is the floor.

Where do you park when you are getting you Covid vaccine? I was told to enter on the ground level of the hospital between South 16th and 17th...anymore information would be great

Teri O'Connor | Aug 11, 2022
Darla Simmons | Aug 12, 2022

You could park on the street if any is available, but when we went the parking lot was pretty much the best option. We entered on Yakima just north of 19th, or you can enter from I Street on the East side across from the entrance. That was pretty congested, though.

I live in BC and have been seeing ads about heart surgery. I have been waiting a year for a new pulmonary valve but it had to go in through my leg as I have titanium cover over all my ribs. Can they do this work? How much approx and how long?

Layton Park | Aug 11, 2022
Darla Simmons | Aug 12, 2022

You would need to be seen by the cardiac specialists to determine that.

Do I have to pay for parking lot

King Diablo | Aug 11, 2022
C S | Aug 12, 2022

Not sure but if I remember correctly it’s $5.00 the parking lot is free. It’s a little walk to get over to the hospital from the parking lot. Not to far though. But when you are using a new amber and a cast boot on your foot it seems like a long ways.

Greg Palin | Aug 11, 2022
Michael Grulich | Aug 12, 2022

It's on the 2nd floor. Go to the main hospital entrance, you can valet park your car and you can get assistance to the infusion center of need be. That's entrance B, but it's also easily accessible from entrance C which is where the skybridge is if I'm not mistaken
