Johnson City Medical Center (JCMC) Hospital


I've been in better hospitals. The private rooms are very small, and very plain. There isn't much room for more than two visitors at a time and the furniture is a tight fit in the alloted space. The hallways can be noisy and the nurses tend to leave the room doors ajar or wide open. At night, it is noisy, busy, and nearly impossible to sleep. Response is rather slow, if something is needed.
This hospital has had a problem with staph infections in the past and they are obviously working very hard to leave that in the past.
If I had a choice to have surgery done at JCMH or somewhere newer, cleaner, and better, I'd choose to go elsewhere. The redeeming quallity of this hospital is that it is on our insurance plan and it is close to our home.

In seven days my room was only cleaned once. I asked for assistance with a bath and two CNA's came in and wiped off my face and arms and left. It took me four hours of begging to get my medicine for nausea. I was not at all satisfied with the staff at the hospital. I also got a staph infection while there.
