Testimonials"Memorial Hospital of Lafayette County is a rare gem in a hectic crowded world. Big city hospitals, by necessity, are impersonal, and a patient can feel lonely and lost. In contrast, Memorial Hospital is big enough to have fully professional staff and specialists always on hand, and on call, when needed. I could relax and let my body heal."
"At Memorial Hospital the personnel are professional in their jobs, caring, and make you feel very confident that your family member is in good hands. It is nice to know that the hospital has the staff and equipment to take care of any problems that may arise. Memorial Hospital is a wonderful part of Lafayette County."
"Memorial Hospital of Lafayette County is a financial bonanza for the County! It provides round-the-clock jobs and medical care. What else is good? The Physical Therapy Department is excellent. Having had PT care at the UW Madison, MHLC outshines even the larger facilities. Also, as folks come to Darlington to see particular specialists, they also shop and have lunch in our community."
"When you are going through a medical crisis, it’s wonderful to be surrounded by family, friends, and community to draw strength and support from them. The staff at Memorial Hospital ARE family, friends, and community, and that is a BIG positive factor."
"The healthcare received at Memorial Hospital is excellent. There are situations when travel time to get to a healthcare facility is crucial. Twenty minutes or less, as compared to a hour or more, to receive medical attention can make the difference as to whether the patient has a complete recovery."
"The availability of specialists on call and the genuine concern of the providers result in warm and tender care. The number of patients needing the dialysis care alone, makes the Memorial Hospital most important."
"Their motto 'We Treat You Like Family' says it all. Harland and I are deeply grateful to the hospital facilities and devoted staff for their care and concern for all of those in need of medical attention."
"To have a Hospital close to home is very important. It is one of the reasons we moved into the area from Rockford."
"It is a feeling of security to be so close to such a fine institution."
"Memorial Hospital of Lafayette County brings in a lot of patients for the outpatient clinic services. It also provides county residents with good jobs and great medical care to everyone who uses the hospital."
"Having used Memorial Hospital many times, I shudder to think of all the inconveniences we would have dealt with had the Hospital not been here. We are newcomers to the area and it was one of the drawing factors that helped us decide to retire in this community. Everyone is more than helpful and we give the Hospital a 5-star rating!
“Memorial Hospital of Lafayette County provides lifesaving, stabilizing treatment and diagnoses for patients in need of immediate care. The outpatient clinic provides us with specialized care without having to travel to Madison or Dubuque. The enclosed letter is from the physician that cared for Jerry after he was transferred from MHLC.”
Dear Jerry and Mary: I am pleased to hear that you are recovering so well after your heart attack. You are so fortunate to live close to a hospital that could provide important and definitive care immediately. To the credit of Dr. Gibes and the staff there, your heart attack was diagnosed almost immediately, and as a result, lifesaving blood clot dissolving medicines were started. Any delay in treatment could lead to a loss of heart muscle and worse outcomes. By the time you had reached us, blood flow had already been restored to your heart as a result of this treatment, limiting the damage to your heart. As you live far from a major medical center, it is very important to have this kind of care available in your community. Hopefully everyone in the area appreciates what a great resource they have in Memorial Hospital of Lafayette County. Sincerely, Joseph Bellissimo, M.D. | |
