Robert L. May, Mayor of Hastings
“I truly believe that without the qualified doctors, nurses and support staff at the Pennock Wound Care Clinic I
would not have my legs today. Over an 18-week period, I was treated with nothing but respect & professionalism. I would recommend the Pennock Wound Clinic to anyone without giving it a second thought. I would like to give a special thank you for the extra special care that was given to me during my treatment. You are all special people."
Bob King, Retired Director of the YMCA
“My wife Pudge passed away recentlyat Pennock Hospital. There’s no other hospital we would have rather been at
during this time. The physicians and staff were excellent, keeping us constantly informed every step of the way with a compassion beyond compare.”
I wasn't just a number, I was their #1
"I prefer Pennock Hospital to larger hospitals because of the doctors. They communicate with each other on the patient’s condition. You don’t feel like just a number. The nurses and nurses’ aids are really caring and friendly as well. From the minute a patient enters ER they are family." ~ Shirley
I was saved in more ways than words can express
"I would like to take this time to express my heartfelt gratitude for your charity care. Your letter brought tears to my eyes and I can’t express my appreciation enough. You have literally saved me in more ways than words can express. I have never in my life been so grateful and one day I hope I can return the favor. Thank you so much! P.S. My time at Pennock could not have been more comfortable and the staff was amazing. I am going to the U of M to get figured out on the 18th. Thank you again"! ~Chelsea
You gave me the happiest day since my wedding
"Yesterday my husband and I received your notification in the mail stating that my husband’s accounts with Pennock regarding his January 2009 emergency surgery had all been cleared through your charity care program. I have to say when I opened and read the letter it was the happiest day I can remember since my wedding. We have felt like this cloud has been over head for the past year, worrying about this debt, and the fact that your hospital helped work with us and were ultimately so generous is truly a blessing. Thank you and your charity care program and bless you!" ~Sarah & Marvin .
I was your #1 priority
"Pennock is where we had our first child and had such a good experience we decided to have our second here. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They made us feel like we were their #1 priority. Jack had his shoulder surgery here a few years ago and received the same great service. We have had other family members who have had surgeries here and have only good things to say. We have also used the ER a few times and have been seen right away every time. The doctors and nurses treated us with the best care. We will continue to use Pennock in the future." ~ Jack, Trisha, Gunnar & Carly
Your doctors and nursing staff are amazing
"I just wanted to thank you for another excellent experience delivering at Pennock. Your doctors and nursing staff are an amazing group of caring, patient, and professional individuals. What a comfort to know that our baby and I were in capable hands during labor, delivery, and recovery. I specifically want to thank nurses Maureen, Aimee, Carrie, Joanne, and Julie. We are so happy to have our son home with us and are looking forward to delivering at Pennock again, soon! Keep up the good work." ~Jessica and Larry
Pennock is our family
"To all the staff at Hospice: I just want all of you to know what caring and kind people all of you are and for thoughtfulness at our time of loss. I only knew
some of you for a short time, but what I come to realize right from the start was how concerned all of you were. We think of all of you as our family too.
Again, our heart-felt thanks and God bless each and every one of you for the special work all of you do every day. Prayers and Love to all of you." ~Thank You, Gertrude Moore and Family.
You are Angels and deserve your wings
"Pennock Hospice, We appreciate all you have done for mom. Getting ready for her passing was not easy and all your efforts helped make her final
days more bearable. You all are Angels and deserve your wings".~ Thank You, Gary & Cary Cuyler & Family
