MidHudson Regional Hospital - Poughkeepsie (NY)

4 /5 Ina Pottorff: I came into the ER by Ambulance and got a room almost immediately. The nurse was there within 3 minutes assisting me. There was a wait for the PA to come in but the CT Scans, x-rays & labs that were ordered happened quickly and efficiently. Getting the results, however took a long time. Thankfully it wasnt as bad as it couldve been but at that point it was very hard to get anything or anyone. My family had to go find someone else to get some juice, and later some tissues. As usual discharge took about an hour before we got the orders and release. Since it was past midnight, the doctor couldnt give me the necessary meds, but as promised she called them in and they were ready first thing in the morning. Mid-Hudson is my hospital of choice simply because it is not as much of a madhouse as other local hospitals. I also appreciate the follow-up emails.

5 /5 Laila Okeefe: Unfortunately myself one day and my daughter the next week were at the hospital for different issues. This brings tears to my eyes to know how amazing , kind, caring, tentative and sensitive all the staff was ! It was a tough situation for my daughter and the week prior I had an unplanned surgery. From the ER staff to the surgical staff, I have the upmost respect for. THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart for caring for us the way you did and making us feel more at ease. You guys are truly wonderful people.

2 /5 julie cracco: Brought my 5 year old son there on a Sunday morning. We were registered as soon as we walked in and then triaged right away. I was pleased with this process. We were then taken into an ER room. I was in complete disbelief by the lack of cleanliness of the room (see photos). My son was eventually seen, though I disagreed about the need of having him tested for Covid/ flu/ RSV he was tested (everything was negative). Our stay was over 5 hrs; we were discharged being told whatever he had was most likely viral. During the stay, not once was he offered a pillow or blanket, or anything to drink/eat. The room was by a door where an employee sat to monitor an entrance/ exit to the hospital. Other employees came and chatted with him, this was right outside our door, and profanities were used without of any consideration of the young patients who were in surrounding rooms… I came here to avoid the crazy wait times that Vassar has been known to have and admittedly, we were put in an ER room rather quickly. However due to the lack of patient consideration and state of filth, I’ll think twice about making my way back to this ER.

5 /5 Kathy Corrao: My husband has had multiple hospitalizations over the past 8 months. We have been taking him to MidHudson Regional each time as we found that the other, larger, local hospital gave dangerously substandard care. Each time we have gone to Mid-Hudson, my husband was treated with the utmost care & respect. He was given the necessary treatments in a timely manner & discharged as soon as necessary. The staff is wonderful. Every nurse and doctor we have dealt with has been helpful and explained things so we could understand what was going on. At this point, MHRH is the only hospital we will use.

5 /5 aaa bbb: A few times I was in tears- but not at all because of this staff. In the emergency psychiatric wing of the hospital are the SWEETEST workers ever. Everybody was kind and sympathetic. Theyre constantly bombarded and harassed by patients, cursed at and yelled at and show a bit of agitation in return to said patients. But when youre kind to them, they return that favor as well. They give updates voluntarily, thank you for patience and chat with you. Overall fantastic assistance unless you act like a king amongst peasants whos the only patient in the hospital.
