The city of McGehee is blessed to have a hospital that’s second to none in service, patient care and talent…My wife was admitted on Wednesday afternoon, following a visit to her Doctor, Jim Renfro…..From the time I pulled up to get her admitted, security was waiting with a wheelchair for her…the professional care from the time we arrived until she was released on Friday was impeccable! Even the cafeteria folks provided me some delicious soup and brownies when I showed up after service hours…Thanks to everyone!!!

McGehee Hospital provided exceptional care to my husband. With me being part of the medical profession myself and this time being on the receiving end, I can honestly say there is not another hospital that could top the care they provided to my husband, myself, his family, and friends. In my darkest hour, your light shown and I will forever be grateful.

I highly recommend the physical therapy center at Mcgehee Hospital, where Anna Cathrine Wargo and Samantha Gannaway have provided me with exceptional care. Initially, I was skeptical about the effectiveness of physical therapy, but it has yielded remarkable results - 100% improvement. I can now move my arm and shoulder without discomfort. Their state-of-the-art facility and cutting-edge equipment are notable assets. I encourage you to consider their services if your physician recommends physical therapy.

Arrived at ER with cardiac problems and was admitted for test and observation 🙃 I was very pleased with the Dr's and nursing staff! Kindness and concern was shown by All! The facility and my room was very clean and bedding was changed regularly. Food was pretty good for hospital food and was always hot and fresh. I felt like I was on vacation with room service! 😆 Really good experience.
