Testimonial: A Life-Threatening Medical Emergency

I had a LIFE THREATENING medical emergency!
I was very concerned!
Would I receive the BEST medical care available?
I really had NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!
In 2004 my doctor had me rushed to the emergency department at Columbia Memorial Hospital. From the moment I was admitted, he was in direct contact with one of the top gastroenterologists in the Portland area.
Columbia Memorial Hospital and my doctor coordinated everything I needed from the moment I walked in until I was released.
My family and I had the peace of mind that I was receiving the best care available.
My husband continued his work schedule, took care of our animals and came to see me every day. My co-workers were able to come, even my dog. None of that would have been possible if I had been rushed to Portland. I received all the care I needed, in Astoria, at Columbia Memorial Hospital.
I just can’t say enough about the care and the nurturing I received. I am very grateful to Columbia Memorial Hospital for the care they gave me.
