Chenango Memorial Hospital: "Chenango Memorial Hospital in Norwich saved my life. I developed a severe blood infection and the ER staff, on a Sunday evening, gave me their total attention. They recognized the severity of the problem and within an hour I had all necessary tests and was hooked to IV antibiotics. I stayed for six days and the staff, doctors and nurses gave me their full attention and support. They treated me as if I was the only patient they would have all day. Because of their expertise and their care, I am here to write this review. CMH is doing very good work. The hospital deserves to receive full community support." - James
