I agree, newton regional does not give good care to patients. My mother got sick and she would have died if they had left her there at newton regional. The conditions are poor and the care is poor too. I got sick and had to go there and they did not even know what was wrong with me and I had to go to another hospital about thirty minutes away in order to get proper treatment. The hospital is not all that stable. That's why residents of Newton County don't want to go to that hospital because they know they won't get the proper treatment needed. I do not blame people for how they feel about this hospital. A lot of people have gotten sick and that hospital couldn't do anything for them. I'd drive two hours if I got sick before I went Newton Regional for help. They're really slow at treating patients too.
Each and every one of the employees at NRH depend on their checks and we knew we were taking a chance of losing our jobs. But sometimes you have to stand up for what is right no matter what the cost may be. Every meeting that the employees had was FIRST lead by a word of prayer asking for God's will and not ours. Just goes to show that God is in control and good always prevails over evil! We give God all the glory for getting Ms. Butler out.
I am a employee of the owner, but at another facility. She need to be shut down and put out of business, sent to jail and fined. Another company needs to come in and take over Guardian Angel Healthcare and all the other facilities she owns. She is not fit to run this type of business. She is gonna see these days again. What she is doing to others will fall back on her. Little do she know that she is getting old and the ones she is hurting will be the one to take care of her. She need to think about that. But she will get whats coming to her, god will see to it. All those babies in her guidance and she can't pay the electric bill, water bill, and give the care they need. The food service truck she recieves her food from turned around in the parking lot because she didn't pay them. That is rediculous. SHe is so money hungry that she can't offer us health insurance. But all I can see is she will face him one day and I hope she burns in hell for what she is doing to our babies.
it is about time someone started to open questions about the problems of Newton Hospital. this has been going on for some time. Now maybe the sheer number of staff involved will cause the newton County Board of supervisors to ask the legitimate questions that need to be asked, or if they dont then the employees of this hospital will show that the people in charge of this facility, really dont care about the care of the patients, they only care about the almighty dollar that lines their pockets, hooray for these brave nurses and staff.
