Hanover Hospital: "My son is in this hospital tonight with pancreaitis. When I called from Savannah, GA to check on him, I commented on some low ratings/reviews for the hospital. My son said; this is a good hospital, the only problem I have experienced so far is that they are understaffed. He stated that the care he has been given was excellent. " - Pat

Hanover Hospital: "Not sure where you got your 34 minute wait stat.
I went to Hanover ER last night - after 4 hours, I couldn't take it anymore and went to York Hospital. Found out I had a kidney stone. So the four hours I spent doubled over in pain waiting for some help were a total waste of time. Can't wait to share information with my insurance company." - Sara
