"When I suffered a sudden stroke on November 17, 2010 I had extremely quick response from the Burwell EMT's and appreciated being so close to Valley County Health System. I was very pleased with the care I received at VCHS and I think we are really lucky to have this facility so close.
The new hospital is beautiful but it is the people within the hospital that made it a pleasant experience for me. Dr. Unterseher was very thorough and the nurses were wonderful. During my 8-day stay in acute care I experienced great food and treatment by all staff including housekeeping, nursing, physical, occupational and speech therapy. If a hospital stay can be classified as nice, this stay was just that.
Since my discharge I chose to continue my physical and occupational therapy with the VCHS Rehabilitation Center in Burwell as these ladies worked with me while I was in the hospital and knew what progress I had already made. It just made sense to finish my treatment with them. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of care and compassion I received from Valley County Health System. I had a very good experience."
