Harrison hospital - (WA)

5 /5 Liriel Halstead: Brought my son here for some concerns with his health condition. We were seen very soon after arriving and the staff was so nice. The ER doctor who was mildly familiar with my sons condition was open and honest about what our options were and how we could proceed depending on test results. We had to do an IV which my son is not a fan of but the nurse nailed it the first go even with my son twisting and turning. Labs were slightly delayed but because our situation was quite stable im more than happy to wait a bit longer because I know there are other situations in the hospital that are more pressing. Overall we had a really great experience and will continue to come here if and when we need quality ER care.

1 /5 Jarch 405: A hi-risk family member with history of stroke hits head on the ground after a bad fall. Currently on blood thinners with progressive numbness and loss of balance. Six hour wait in a waiting room and there is no room to screen or her prepare her for a CT scan to rule out a severe brain injury. I was told by staff that it did not appear urgent with pupils being equal and reactive to light. I get a call from her inside the lobby that she has a worsening headache. No one had checked on her. I had to relay this to the ER nurse and they had offered to take her vital signs if I requested it. Its got to be a difficult situation for the ER nurse as he says they are not refusing care, but they dont have enough staff to handle anyone in a reasonable time, regardless of their condition. Despite me displaying frustration, he handled it like a professional. I wasnt allowed to speak to anyone, but encouraged to complain to the Department of Health. I had mandatory military training scheduled in 2 hours, exceeding an 8 hour wait and they said they cannot guarantee that transportation could be provided in the event that I had to leave. This is a world class facility for Emergency Care at the center of our county thats understaffed and continuously cutting costs, lacking competitive wages, and prioritizing administration over healthcare workers. Bremerton Harrison Hospital is now closed. Folks are driving their kids an hour away, out of county to get seen due to long wait times and the hospital being understaffed. I empathize with the elderly in the waiting room who do not have a voice.

1 /5 Jimmy Dean: My SO was coughing up blood and could drink/eat anything. Waited 1.5 hours to be seen and dismissively told it was COVID but they would run some tests and get meds. We then sat in the lobby for another 3 hours for any medical assistance of any kind. The entire time we pressed the staff for answers almost a dozen times. At this point we were at the hospital for 5 hours and saw the doctor for literally 3 minutes so we simply left and went somewhere else. My SO did not have COVID and had to stay overnight for several days. We were still given a 536$ bill from Harrison hospital. We have looking into legal action, but apparently it is not illegal to be a bad hospital.

1 /5 Kelsey Humphrey: If you have children---- take them straight to Mary bridge and dont waste your time. They take everyone within 2 hrs but itll be that long every time. So in cases of emergencies just go to Mary Bridge Trust me- it might save your child.

1 /5 Keira Toler: Thats the lowest they will let me star them to comment. This hospital is a joke theyre just here for pay checks. They dont care about helping people. Your minimum wait time is 4 hours and they want to get attitude with you when youre asking when you will be seen after youve been waiting over 3 hours. Then on top of that they get mad when you tell them you dont want to wait 7 hours for a room. They need to clean house just like they call themselves upgrading the hospital look they shouldve been updating the staff first. Starting with the Er nurse Kathy
