Report
This is the best experience with hospitals I have had in many years. The nurses who cared for my mom, Faye Wardwell, were outstanding. The little nurse with the long salt and pepper braid down her back was an absolute angel. There was another one who was tall and kind of heavy set who came in and adjusted her needle laden arm which made all the difference in her comfort. Thank you, Cary Memorial Hospital for these wonderful God sent people!!

Report
Very poor service. Went in on Friday and they was more concern in giving me a covid test than seeing what's wrong. To have them call me on Wednesday to tell me they put in orders yesterday to have test ran.

Cary is a wonderful rural hospital! It's patient-centered philosophy can be experienced in every department, and I've always experienced care above and beyond my expectations every time I need services there.
