Wound Health and Hyperbaric Center
*Very satisfied, very happy with the wound care facility and also very satisfied and very grateful to the gals in the special nursing unit. Everybody did a good job, explained everything I needed to know and got me done in the quickest possible time and with the best explanations they could give me. I was real relaxed through the treatment process.
*I have been completely satisfied with the care I have received at the Hays Medical Center Wound Care Department. I could not possibly single out just one person, everyone I have encountered has been willing to go above and beyond what I would have expected. They have all been compassionate and caring, always concerned about my comfort and pain level. Each one should be recognized for their ability to put their patients at ease.
*The service is exceptional in all ways. I would recommend this clinic to any one that would ask me. I appreciate the care I’ve received.
*The entire staff is very accommodating and caring. I do not feel like a patient…I feel like a friend. Thank you.
*We continue to be very impressed and pleased with the care I have received at the Wound Care Clinic. The entire staff there are very dedicated professionals.
PT/OT/Speech/Outpatient Services
*Theresa, Kelly, Melissa—Thank you so much to all of you. My goal was to be out of the wheelchair and using a walker and I met that goal. I am also rebuilding muscle. It was nice to be somewhere where I was encouraged to continue to work hard and put that wheelchair aside. Thank you for your kindness and good care.
*Amazingly helpful! Therapists were willing to explore methods to help me. Gave me tools to help maintain progress and strengthen.
*I just wanted to thank all the people that helped me. From the person at the door to the two people who helped me. They were great. Thanks again for the excellent treatment.
*Whitney and Joyce were great. On my first visit Whitney took the time to show me what my injury looked like and explained what my treatment would be like and what I needed to do to accomplish my goals. She took the time to go through all the exercises I had been doing at the Center and eliminated the ones that I shouldn’t be doing, explaining why they would hurt my condition. Joyce helped to make my PT exercises fun, coming up with neat ways to do them and helping me to do them correctly. She showed me alternative exercises to do at the gym that would not hurt my condition. Both were very patient and kind and I am grateful to both for their help. Shelby at the front desk was always smiling and friendly.
*I was a patient of Deb’s and the care she gave to me was outstanding. I learned lifelong techniques/exercises that will not only help me recover from my injury but throughout my whole life. Just want to praise Deb for her outstanding work. Thank you.
*My therapists were Bob and Jana. I cannot begin to express their dedication and care for their patients. They both work very hard to make sure their patients receive the best care possible.
*Thank you so much to Teresa AND Jenna for their work with Taylor. She made so much progress since this fall. We appreciate their help in the recovery from Taylor’s accident and head concus- sion. Your office staff were super to work with also. Thank you and blessings.
*I have nothing but praise for all the help given by Kelly and Melissa. Thank you. Teresa was a very knowledgeable therapist. I was so pleased and grateful for the therapy she gave me. This lady will go far in her field. Thank you. You are in my prayers.
*I am very pleased with all those who have worked with me during my recovery of my knee. They were very nice, helpful and professional. I loved coming to therapy each week and from where I started I have come full circle. I thank each and everyone for the care given.
*Lindsey, Bob McAnay: Professional, empathetic and have great rapport. I looked forward to every session. They challenge you to do the best you can. All I can say is I have had great therapy sessions. Thanks.
*The staff was very thorough and also very friendly. I looked forward to my treatment because I knew I would be greeted with a smile and friendly conversation notwithstanding the fact that the therapy program alleviated the pain in my shoulder? Great Job.

ICU
*My husband received excellent care during his stay at HaysMed. We have had the opportunity to be with family and friends in over 20 hospitals – including at least 6 ICUs in five
states. HaysMed ranks right up at the top of my list for excellent care. Concerned and courteous personnel, at all levels. The facility is well maintained and appears up to date. I definitely saw a high level of professionalism in the care of my husband.
*My fathers care in the ICU was wonderful. The nurses took the time to make his time here bearable. The three nurses that we had gave great care. They were all excellent and you can tell they love their job.
*It was very hard to recognize one person. They were all very helpful and wonderful. The food was exceptional especially the banana muffins.
Acute Care
*I was very satisfied with the level of care I received while at your facility. I would like to say thank you to all the doctors, nurses and pcts that cared for me. I will never forget how much they all helped me recover and to go home.
*I just wanted to let you know I was taken care of exceptionally well the time I’ve been here. There are three nurses I would like you to individually recognize. The first Cheryl Herman. She went over and beyond her job to take care of me. Lauri Johnson is the second, she has a great attitude on life and she tried to rub it off on someone else and for the third lady Laura Schwindt is one of the best charge nurses that I have ever known in a nurse facility.
*I cannot adequately express my gratitude and respect for the doctors and all the nurses and other staff at HaysMed for the wonderful care I received. Everything was done professionally with the latest technology to achieve the best results as painlessly as possible. Everyone treated me and my wife with utmost kindness and respect. I would recommend HaysMed and the entire staff to anyone.
Surgical

Food was great. Medical staff awesome total 5 star from this guy…Thanks Hays Med.

I knew I was in good hands when she walked in.
Ambulatory Care
