Summa Health Systems Hospitals Stories

Summa Health Systems Hospitals: "Summa Hospital has had one of the worst sanitary records on the planet.
As a patient, I developed a staph infection.
My son, was in a room where the patient next to him who was mentally ill, peed on the floor and threw his diaper across the room. Summa didn't clean it up until I complained.
My brother was admitted for major surgery ins 2017 and I walked into his private room only to step over blood, syringes and dirty needles on his table, and feces on the floor.
This hospital is disgusting." - Victoria
