“When I fell and broke my hip, I was in so much pain. The Regional Medical Center ambulance was at my house within 10 minutes. All the guys within the ambulance were so good to me. In fact, I haven’t met a single person here that hasn’t been good to me. Dr. Gorsche and the entire surgery team made sure I didn’t have any more discomfort than needed. They were all reassuring and solely focused on getting me back to feeling better. When I was admitted to the Medical/Surgical unit, my nurse Tori saw me when I was in the most pain. She truly cared about my well being and did a fantastic job with everything I needed. Even the night nurses made sure I had everything I needed and continued to check on me throughout the night. People don’t have a clue what we have here in Manchester. I couldn’t have gone anywhere with better treatment. If I didn’t look out the window and know I was in Manchester, Iowa - I would have thought I was in a big facility with how nice the space is. Everything I can do here, I will do here.”
