Excela Health Westmoreland Regional Hospital: "I am on this site trying to find an alternative to Excela Westmoreland. I am in need of a hospital in the near future and refuse to go to the closest monopoly of Excela due to their long wait time, inefficiency, poor patient care and no continuity of care.
I was forced to wait in a hallway, triaged there-forget HIAPPA- charged for a narcotic that was not given, and released without a ride home.
Not the best care for for two herniated disks, one that they overlooked. " - C
