I was here visiting family and had a medical issue that I went into the ER for. All the staff I interacted with were extremely nice and helpful to the best of their abilities. They don’t have a ton of technology and testing equipment but they did great with what they did have. I’m from a big city with a lot of advanced medical stuff and this obviously wasn’t that but the care I received was amazing!

I showed up with covid; felt like I was a wreck. Was welcomed by reception and helped immediately. Nurse Rebecca and Dr. Hess were kind and empathetic, yet professional and efficient. I felt really well treated.

When my husband had a life threatening health issue last year we were helped tremendously by Petersburg Medical Center. They took great care of him, arranged for an air transport to Seattle and ultimately saved his life. He is now recovered after surgery. Petersburg Medical Center is staffed with competent, knowledgeable, empathic and kind people.

Love my Dr. ( SELINA BURT) but false negative result on tests and difficulty with setting up travel arrangements to specialists due to inefficient workforce will surely cause my demise!

Received 3 months of chemo at PMC and it was hands down the best care I've experienced at any medical facility. This hospital is a gem, staffed with long time employees who deeply care for their patients. Not sure everyone realizes how lucky we are to have such a high quality facility in our rural community, full of highly skilled professionals and community members who go the extra mile for their patients.
