In no way shape or form does this facility with hold the standards that a level 1 trauma facility should

The truth

Labor and Delivery

Save your license and don’t go here. I can go on forever about the unsafe culture, lack of resources, short staffing, and general laziness of staff.

Legit the worst hospital I’ve ever been to

I don’t know how this hospital is a level 1 trauma center when they barely have any resources. Multiple rooms in the ED don’t even have monitors. No emergent equipment (suction, O2 supplies) in the rooms. Always have to go to the supply closet. Housekeeping refuses to clean any stretchers.

Needs JCHAO & OSHA
