Sample family reviews
Before and after
Day one I walked 40 feet in two minutes. Day fourteen I walked 600. I have the printout on my fridge.
The weekly report let my brother in Houston see exactly how Mom was doing without calling five times a day.
After my amputation, Luis had me on a prosthetic in the gym in the first week.
Darius got Dad off oxygen before he went home. His pulmonologist couldn't believe it.
Megan worked with my husband's speech every day on the stroke unit. He told me he loved me on day nine.
Shannon coordinated my Indian Health Service and Medicare benefits. Nobody else had ever gotten that right.
The Okmulgee campus was ten minutes from home. Same therapy as Sapulpa.
They set a target date on day two and beat it by a day.
The 30-day follow-up call caught a medication problem before it sent me back to the hospital.
No-nonsense. Exactly what I needed.
Admissions had me approved and a bed ready before the hospital finished my discharge papers.
I still come back for outpatient therapy and they still test my numbers.
Beat your numbers. Then go home.
Tell your hospital case manager you'd like Polecat Creek, or call admissions any day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
