Jfk Medical Center Stories

Jfk Medical Center: "Worst experience ever. Social workers did not properly follow-up for home care when my 91-year-old father was hospitalized there. There was no follow-up, and his case was dropped once they shipped him home without homecare that should have been arranged due to his need for a catheter. We will never return to that hospital for anything. We received better and more attentive treatment from the Robert Wood Johnson VNA Home care and Hospice groups. He was never treated at that hospital, yet they took on his case and they have been absolutely wonderful. JFK is a joke and should be ashamed that they employ such incompetent people. " - Jeanine
