We need more hospitals and more health facility places to get waited on because you can go into a emergency room now and be there all night to get waited on
The quality of care has diminished. The E D wait times are off the charts with parts of the department not being utilized secondary to staffing issues. Quality doctors have left the area. Patients are now going to Knoxville, Pikeville and other places to get the care that was once the norm in our hospitals. […]

I need hernia surgery and no surgeon in Ballad health will do it.
We live in Southwest Tennessee. The only healthcare we can get is to drive all of the way to Jackson or to Memphis. We’ve asked why no other hospitals or clinics have opened in our area, because they couldn’t be approved. Change the law.
I fell and broke my hip in October 2024. I had to be taken 50 miles to a Memphis hospital because we don’t have orthopedic surgeons in my area. Then, I had to wait 2 days for surgical repair. This is not just an inconvenience. This is inhumane! We need adequate healthcare in our rural […]

Our Health Care in East Tennessee is a Monopoly! Ballad Health is a Joke! Wait times especially when you are in the Emergency Room is horrible! I have had to wait for over 7 hours before! I have talked with people who have waited for over 10 hour’s! We need more Hospitals to have a […]
Our Health Care in East Tennessee is a Monopoly! Ballad Health is a Joke! Wait times especially when you are in the Emergency Room is horrible! I have had to wait for over 7 hours before! I have talked with people who have waited for over 10 hour’s! We need more Hospitals to have a choice! I had back surgery and almost urinated on myself waiting on a nurse to come and help, I waited over an hour and had already pulled myself up and went to the bathroom myself. The nurse finally came and I told her she was terrible for a patient. I told my charge nurse the next morning what had happened and she had her changed out and the next one was somewhat better but not at all what I had expected after a 10 hour surgery! A lot of complaints have been made towards Ballad Health!
I HAVE HAD LUPUS For 41 Years , I MOVED HERE FROM THE INDIANA TO TENNESSEE , I HAVE RECEIVED THE WORST MEDICAL CARE IN TENNESSEE , I EVER RECEIVED IN MY 42 YEARS ,
I support Freedom of choice in healthcare. Our local hospital was shut down & we need it re-opened! I need freedom in choosing a doctor that will help with my specific needs.
