Khari, & Brooke in the Lab work area were awesome. There was a clerical error with scheduling where I wasn't set up with an appointment, but I was technically supposed to be seen for an MRI. They took care of all my issues and resolved the problem, quickly and courteously.

The most friendly and concerned professional group of people I have every met. The staff at Stevens County Hospital saved my life and seamed happy in the work. Under the pressure of working the "Covid Floor" this group worked together tirelessly at full capacity. I always felt that they cared very much for my wellbeing. They treated me as if they were my own family. Thank You All from the bottom of my heart!
