“I had surgery on Dec. 6 and all I can say is the staff on 6 West were the best. Thank you for everything.”

- Joanna

“I had been a pt in the ER and the staff at St. Mary's are amazing. They got my blood sugars back to normal and helped me to go home for Christmas. I have never met such a professional and compassionate group. Thanks to all, and Tonya, Colleen, Bryan, and Linda :) ”

- Cari

“Nancy on 6West has taken care of mom and has been exceptional. She does the job the way it should be done. Checks in regularly and corrects things others have overlooked. Instead of just resetting beeping IV she investigated and found it needed to be changed..no more beeps.”

- Ed

“I just had a procedure done in Same Day Surgery 6/14. I am a VERY hard IV stick and communicated this to the admitting nurse who immediately decided to have IV Team come start the IV that was needed. Joy was not only the nicest nurse I could have asked for, but she got the IV on the very first stick!! I can't even remember the last time someone was able to do that - it usually takes a minimum of 3 or 4 tries. Thanks Joy - you probably don't get too many people who thank you for sticking them with needles, but you are the BEST!”

- Tina

“I want to thank all the wonderful people in the ICU, respiratory, physical therapy, wound care, and Dr. Jordon for the wonderful care and love they gave my Mom while she was recouperating from respiratory distress. I felt like when I could not be there, that I was leaving her with family. What a wonderful group of people!!! Just to know she is doing well and hopefully, we can stop by and she can thank you personally soon.”

- Pam

“My father was rushed to the ER with a potassium level of 8.2. The nurses and doctors rushed to save his life. They were totally professional. Tommie never sat down, she even stayed longer on her shift until she knew my Dad was out of the woods. Are you kidding me? What an awesome experience. On top of that she never made us feel we were in the way. Never kept us out of the loop. Answered all of our questions. Listened to my Dad. Treated him like he was her own father. Through God's guidance and her skilled hands. He is still alive and with us today! Thank you so MUCH!”

- Vicki

“Thank you to Dr. Tarin for making me feel so at ease with my tonsillectomy. Also, the staff at Lake Park Surgery Center were so caring and hospitable.”

“I recently had surgery at Lake Park. Everyone was so nice and comforting. Angel made me feel so at ease when I arrived. I am very grateful!”

- Anita

“Thanks to all the nurses and nurse aides on 3 East for taking such good care of my mother the week of 2/7/11 to 2/11/11. Thanks to Sarah for making my mom laugh when she felt her worst. Again, thank you for everything.”

- Charles

“I wanted to thank the nurses and aides - Hollie, Amanda, Amanda, Angela & Aubrey - who took care of my daughter Holly from 11/11/10 to 11/14/10. They took care of Holly as if she was their own child. It was comforting to know that they were fighting and VERY proactive in her treatment.”

- Jane-Ellen

“In the past month, I have had to bring my friend in twice for angiograms. Each time he has been on the Cardiovascular Unit on the 2nd floor at St. Mary Medical Center. I cannot compliment the hospital and your staff enough. The care he has received is exemplary and far surpasses anything I have seen at other hospitals I have visited. The two nurses I remember most clearly are Jamie and April. Both girls are friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. They relate well to their patients and even better to each other. It put us both at ease to see nurses who genuinely respect one another and work as a team. We later learned April is "the boss". You would have never known by the way she jumps in the trenches with her staff and has no false pride or 'better than you' attitude. Not only did these girls make sure that my friend was taken care of, they also took the time to see that my needs were met. My friend and I couldn't have asked for better care. You should be very proud of your staff. They are the reason people want to return. Thank you 2nd floor Cardiovascular Unit staff!”

“I needed therapy after having broken my ankle in January. I just cannot compliment Tina enough for all her help and concern in helping me get back to walking normal and helping the tenderness of the nerves in my ankle. Not only did she help me but her cheerful attitude and outgoing, friendly personality made me feel so at ease and comfortable that I really enjoyed and looked forward to each of my sessions and was sorry, in a way, to see it end. She is very professional and at the same time she makes people feel welcome and very relaxed. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone I know that is in need of therapy. Keep up the good work Tina and, St. Mary, you have a really outstanding employee!”

- Lynette

“Arlene, I just wanted to let you know that so far everything is going well here at home. Cindi's taking good care of me. I called Dr. Streeter's office today and they said I can start eating soft foods, Yeah! :) Thanks for everything you've done.”

- Tim

“My father Jose passed away Sat the 10th after being on both the 2nd and 5th floors. Your nursing staff on both floors helped to make those last few days very comfortable for my family and friends. They brought us coffee, pitchers of water, juice and snacks. They would check up on us to see if we needed anything else. I know it's their job, but it was their genuine concern that was very touching. The night my father passed away I had to bring my mother back to the hospital and your security was very nice and helpful. One of them brought a wheelchair for my mother and took her straight to the room. That was very nice of him. That night was very hard for my family. Also thank you to Liza that came to the memorial service on behalf of the staff and Dr Montero. She was very nice and said Jose was her favorite. That was very kind and appreciated. I thank you and your staff for everything they have done; hats off to you. Thank you.”

- Alfred

“My husband was in an industrial accident which left him with third degree burns on the lower half of his entire body. After spending a month at another hospital in Chicago for the burns he was then admitted to St Mary's Rehab Center in Hobart, Indiana on January 14, 2010, for rehabilitation. The entire staff was tremendous! He had round the clock care with caring experts. Thank you to all in the rehab center!”

- Lori

“My friend was recently admitted to your hospital and in all of my 81 years, I have never been treated better as a visitor. Mrs. G. M. was admitted first to the ICU and then 2 West. Every question was answered as politely as I have ever experienced. I have a service dog and asked permission to bring him in. Though it took a little bit of time, it was done in a proper and expedient way. She was pleased, and so was I. KUDOS”

- Pete

“I have never experienced any surgery in my 63 years when I was told I needed a total hip replacement for my osteoarthritis. My surgery was in late November 2009. All of the staff involved with the Joint Academy at St. Mary Medical Center in Hobart were excellent. They showed compassion, concern and were extremely helpful. I highly recommend this facility for its quality care.”

- Judy

“I wanted to say thank you to some of the best nurses I have ever met!! In having to come for an angiogram, I was very frightened and extremely nervous. I had even made out my will, just in case I didn't make it back. In arriving at the CVU at St. Mary's I was greeted by 3 beautiful, happy, smiling faces. Jaime, April, and Kate. They were humorous yet professional and put me at ease immediately. April started my IV flawlessly and was very reassuring in explaining the procedure. Jaime, April and Kate made sure I was taken care of before and after the procedure, getting me anything I asked for, always with a smile. I'm sure these girls were very busy, but they made me feel like I was their only patient and their top priority!! I couldn't have asked for better nurses or care. They truly were exceptional and I would recommend St. Mary's and these girls to everyone. THANK YOU AGAIN!”

- A Very Satisfied Customer

“I was hospitalized for surgery and was feeling very emotional and anxious. I had not had surgery before and was not prepared for some aspects of recovery - catheter, pain, etc. Warren took the time to explain the recovery process in great detail. His demeanor was very calming and patient, which helped me feel a lot better about the procedure, recovery, and what I could expect after leaving the hospital. I also felt very comfortable asking him any questions I had. He is truly a wonderful nurse!”
