Shorepoint Health Port Charlotte Stories
Feb 15, 2025, 9:07 PM
Shorepoint Health Port Charlotte: "Shorepoint Health Hospital does not follow safety protocols. The nurses are rude. HIPAA and safety protocols such as isolation protocols are broken and not followed. Three different nurses and one nursing assistant gave different instructions on isolation protocols for the hospital and all of them followed their own instructions not the hospitals protocols that is why patients who go into the hospital without an infectious disease have the tendency to become infected because nurses are not following isolation protocols and guidelines to protect their patients. Horrible hospital. " - Rafael
