Kennedy University Hospital - Stratford Div: "I was there yesterday at Kennedy Stratford. Saturday 7/16/2016. I was seen within a half hour. All the staff was wonderful and took care of me right away. I was given meds for pain without asking and zofran and Pepcid with out asking due to the nature of my ER visit. All tests were done timely and the Dr Maddock? Was wonderful. They really have their act together. I am really thankful it's my closest hospital. Recommend Highly" - Ellie
