" I'm the daughter who wrote the original letter. Let me reiterate. I was not talking about ER waits or billing. 2 weeks in any ICU is going to produce a large bill. What she died from wasn't curable, no matter where she'd been admitted. And I was talking about the wonderful care and compassionate people she was surrounded by. Naysayers can say whatever they want. Our family was very pleased with what we saw and the care she received.

" My husband was an inpatient twice last year for cancer surgeries. What do I tell you the staff is wonderful and knowledgeable, our physicians are excellent. It is the cleaniness hospital I've been in including the Anchorage ones. Yes, Anchorage hospital do have some specialists there we don't have, YET. But compared to what we had before in the old Palmer 25 bed hospital our new Mat Su Regional Hospital is "AWESOME". If you check out the new directory of speciality physicains we've acquired you'll surprised what don't have to drive to Anchorage for anymore! "

" Wow I am surprised with R.H. comments. I recently moved from Houston, Tx and a trip to the ER could easily be a 12+hr visit. I was amazed with the profesionalism and courtesy. It was clearly busy and we waited, but it was not the nightmare I expected. "

" Wait til' mom gets that bill. 4 Days in the hospital last year cost me $40,000 dollars just to lay in a bed with stomach pain. When the 4th day was up I had yet to see a Gastro doctor and I was informed MatSu Regional does not actually have any Gastro doctors that I would have to go to town. The staff was great, but the hospital will be bypassed in the future as I drive into Anchorage. "

" I have been admitted into the ER several times over the years. Sometimes when they were busy, sometimes not so much. I have always received prompt care from a friendly & competent staff. Very grateful. "

" Hmmm, must not have been the same hospital that I have gone to the past couple of times. I would drive right past it the next time and go tto providence. Mine didn't perform standard procedures as is accepted practice and failed to take some critical steps in reducing my pain and discomfort. They are severely understaffed at the ER. Maybe the long term care is great but not their ER "

" In July of 2008 my Mother was in the hospital and spent her final days there as well, and like you I had nothing but fabulous experiences with the Mat Su Regional Hopstital. The staff were wonderful from start to finish.

Im so glad to hear more thankful words go in their direction, because its a tough job to do and I know that its also at times a thankless one. "
