Owensboro Health Regional Hospital

Fantastic experience: My Mom was transferred to CCU here at Owensboro Regional Health from Twin Lakes in Leitchfield, KY after being intubated in ambulance and stabilized at TL in Leitchfield due to heart failure/fluid buildup up in her body that caused her to start suffocating. She turned blue/purple and gray at different times while trying to breathe even though intubated. I literally watched my Mom almost die not being able to breathe. Methamphetamines played a big factor because she was already in heart failure. Her heart is functioning below 15%. The Nurses and assistants have been fantastic. In fact the nurses were in way more than I ever even saw assistants. Not one of the nurses ever treated her like a drug addict. They put their judgment to the side and truly care for their patients as they should in their positions. I cannot say that we have had the same experience with Twin Lakes in Leitchfield. They are good but not exceptional by far. The nurses that have assisted us here are EXCEPTIONAL! And to name them because I think they should be recognized: Kayla Maiden, Seth Burden, Erin Tulson and April Wall! I am so grateful for these people and pray God continue to Bless them in their daily lives and in the work field! After being here 3 days one of the nurses recommended the hospitality suites the hospital offers for $25 a night. I was so blessed that night. I was up 42 hours before getting approx. 4 hrs in the chair in CCU after hours of continuing with no sleep, I slept really good in the hospitality suite. I thought I was going to a room with a lil hospital bed and bathroom however to my amazement, it was actually a wing in the hospital that has actual hotel rooms. Very nice! Stephanie and Ashley at guest services were the sweetest ladies and were very accommodating in all of my needs. They were attentive to my questions. I could just go on. I cannot speak for any other parts of the hospital but the CCU Nurses and the two Guest Service Ladies I mentioned again are EXCEPTIONAL! I work for a company that is very giving with charities and I plan to share the sponsorship information regarding the hospitality suites to them. What a great resource for families. Today is day 5 and I am blessed to be able to purchase the suite for a shower and rest. The Occupational Therapy team have been great! I really like Dr. Brasher. He will tell you straight and not beat around the bush or sugar coat regarding his patients. I couldn’t be more pleased with the services received.
