Griffin Hospital

July 18 on what was supposed to be my mother's surprise bday weekend. My cousin passed away, the ambulance showed up to my home within 10 minutes and tried to revive him. Unfortunately on route to Griffin Hospital he did not make it. Once we arrived to the er, we were quickly allowed in after scanning and escorted to a room. Where we were let easy on the news. It was so sudden and shocking. Definitely was a sensitive situation. A Nurse aided in any questions we had. And we were allowed a significant amount of time to grieve by his bedside. My 15 year old daughter was given games, as well as coffee and muffins were provided. By far the best hospital service, ambulance, police service I or my family has ever experienced. We are truly grateful. Thank you and blessings.

The most outstanding Health facility I have ever experienced. When given a choice of hospitals, I traveled over an hour to use Griffin Hospital. At every facet of my recent surgery from pre admission Covid testing, to registration, to the staff in the Joint Replacement center, nurses, therapists, staff and food service I was treated like a valued customer in a five star resort. Their follow up after my stay is exceptional. I would highly recommend Griffin Hospital for all your health care needs.

Excellent pharmacy, outpatient, same day surgery, and a Chef run Cafeteria with multiple daily specials.

Nurses and doctors stand around and talk to each other than do work dont know what they are doing got to the er at 2pm it's now 737 for something yale would have had done and in an hour

I recently had a knee replacement at Griffin Hospital. My experience from the minute I walked into the hospital until I was wheeled out to go home was great. All the staff were friendly, helpful and personable. It was such a homey environment and the main hallway resembled a museum. There was a mix up the first night I was there not allowing me to use my CPAP machine. I wasn’t able to sleep at all that night and the nurse and CNA spent time talking to me to pass the time. The next day, several staff were apologetic a lot the mix up and resolved the situation. The nurse who handled patient experience, came back to my room later with a beautiful gift to express her apologies. During the two days I was there, two chaplains came to speak to me which I found very comforting. Also four volunteers came in with baked goods that they had just made in the hospital kitchen so they were still warm. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming to my husband who stayed with me. It is evident that this hospital has worked hard to make a hospital stay as pleasant as possible. It is a very personable and smooth experience compared to the larger hospital feeling at Yale. One example is that when i was cleared to leave, my medications were waiting for me at the pharmacy downstairs and the volunteer arrived in my room with the wheelchair before my husband had my suitcase zippered. At Yale the wait time to leave after clearance is given can be a couple of hours. Thank you to the Griffin staff and volunteers for excellent patient care!
