Terrible situation and the limited ability to provide emergency services and general hospital needs for one retired, it is tome to move from Redding, CA and move out of CA. The operation is par with the state government’s way of operation- sub-par. " - Scott

Mercy Medical Center Redding: "My fiancé went into the ER and after waiting about 5 hrs was admitted to the hospital. After almost 24 hrs of being there he still had not been examined by a doctor. They failed to enter all the details of his initial complaints into the system and only focused on the ongoing issues with his ulcerative colitis. They kept putting him off saying they did not know when either doctor (regular or GI) would be available. " - MELISSA
