Portsmouth Regional Hospital: "My husband was in the ER 7/6/22 and the ER was slammed with patients. I can’t praise the staff enough from Drs., nurses to transport and all staff in between for what they were working through. He also had to be admitted from the ER and had quite a wait to get a room. The staff did the best they could do to accommodate his needs as he waited. Really hard to keep a smile on your face and keep plugging along while your phone keeps ringing to let you know your needed somewhere else. Thanks to all! Little side note, nurses and staff on med floor were awesome also." - Martha
