Harrington Success Stories

I encourage patients to use local medical services and experience the individualized care that comes with it.

Although Robbie Salisbury had many options for physical therapists, he chose to stay local and began seeing Emily Goncalves and Meredith Moseley at Harrington’s Rehabilitation Services Department at Harrington HealthCare at 169.

Success in Simplified Diabetes Management

Gail Embair was diagnosed with diabetes more than 10 years ago. But her recent struggle to manage the illness was becoming frustrating. “I was on five shots and up to 350 units per day. But my sugar still wasn’t maintained,” she said.

They were always happy, gentle, smiling people—exactly who a mother wants taking care of her and her newborn baby. My husband, older children, and family members felt right at home while coming to visit me, as well.

This could have been a different experience if your staff was not so proactive and attentive to detail.

My mother was recently a patient at your Emergency Room in Webster where she was then transferred the same day to Harrington for an emergency appendectomy. I don’t think she would have fared better at another facility.

All procedures were performed to the highest standard that I have ever witnessed.

I want to commend your staff on my father’s recovery and hope your quality nurses continue their excellent work in caring for you patients.

“I didn’t want to get sick…but if I had to do it again, I would certainly do it here.”
