I recently spent a month inpatient at Madison County Hospital. I had wonderful care during the time I was there. The nursing staff was attentive to my needs. The food from the cafeteria was excellent. Dr. Suddarth spent the necessary time to be sure I was receiving the proper treatment. I would highly recommend our hospital. We are very blessed to have such quality of medical care close by.

Excellent care from all areas. Surgery staff and surgeon professional from the time I arrived until I was discharged. Doctor and staff explained everything and asked questions. The staff called the next day for follow up. Lab was very friendly and professional. They shared conversation like talking to family. The Clinic staff were professional and polite. My Doctor and nurse talked and asked about questions and concerns for my visit. The explanations were at a level I could understand and then they asked if I could think of any other concerns or problems. Thank you for being there when I need

I have been enrolled in the Madison County Health Care System's cardiac rehab program three times. I have always found it to be top notch. The staff, Lisa, Nancy and Aaron, are very attentive to my needs and extremely well informed. They've got the extra mile for me on a number of occasions. I wholeheartedly recommend this them.

I have the great pleasure to be a volunteer in the gift shop, with my sister. We enjoy what we do, and the staff are so very kind to us. I recently had some out-patient surgery. This hospital and the staff were so personable, and supportive, I didn't just feel like a number, waiting for my surgery. I highly recommend any services, Madison County Hospital offers, and it wouldn't hurt if you check out the cute little gift shop too!

My husband had a recent allergic reaction, and the hospital was amazing in getting him treated quickly, and then ensuring that he followed up with his physician.
