A friend of mine recently had surgery, done by Dr. Weaver, at this hospital and I was there through the intake process and waiting while the surgery was done. Every single employee that I encountered at this facility was kind, considerate and extremely helpful. I was so positively impressed with everyone that I came in contact with throughout the day in every department. Great job!

Adolescent unitHonestly and truly an excellent hospital with very great staff. I have had other experiences at other hospitals but this hospital is at the top of my list. For the month that I was admitted, it felt like everyday I was getting better mentally. Although the usual stay is 2 weeks, I ended being there longer than planned and I am not complaining.The hospital itself was somewhat clean, had a cool janitor who loves to sing (SHOUTOUT TO MR. BILLY), and despise the fact that there were hairs waxed into the floors, janitors were always in sight and were always cleaning. The cafe was really nice, had a great view of the mountains as well as the city, and had wonderful lunchroom staff. edit: the lobby and the cafe are catfish (not what they seem to be), its not terrible but i would recommend asking for a tour before admitting a patientBefore I begin saying what I have to say about the staff, shoutout to Mr. Jeff (Tech) , Mrs. Bridgett (Tech), Mr. Donovan (School teacher/coach), Mr. Mark (music teacher), Nurse Arica, and Ms. Audrey (Therapist that helped me through it all).The staff is unfortunately why there is a star missing from my rating. I, myself, experience really bad anxiety and I get overwhelmed pretty easily if there is too much commotion going on and whenever this would happen, all I needed was for the staff to listen. I understand that we cannot be in our rooms all the time because it is very draining but when were asking to go constantly because we just need a minute, we really need it (trust me, i dont wanna go in a room with only beds and shelves just for fun). Staff wouldnt really solve much conflict well either but I guess that just shows the fact that you only need a high school diploma to work here so ill move on from that. A lot of the people on the unit would argue and the unit ranges from 11-18 year olds so you could only imagine the lovely drama that would happen and would be solved simply by the messy techs that wouldnt do much about it but gossip. If the techs werent being messy about the patients they would sit there and just gossip either to the patients or the other staff about their personal drama. Although it seems like im using this as a way to diss the staff, I really did appreciate the staff that would take matters into their hands when there was stuff going on in the unit (MS. SHANA!!). When youre recieving your treatment, youre constantly reminded to focus on your treatment but when the few i listed are the main ones even doing anything, it makes your stay feel soo much longer. Anyways, love the staff that was mentioned but honestly if you werent listed, I most certainly hope you work on whatevr the heck you got going on fr, because i noticed everything...
