“I just want to say that this hospital experience was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Everyone was so helpful and caring. It also inspired me to apply for a job within the hospital. Thank you all for the great care and attention.“

“SRH is hands-down the best health care facility I have ever seen. Patient care is extraordinary every time. Most of all, the staff really takes time to tend to my daughter’s needs instead of barely doing the status quo and rushing off to the next thing. This was my child’s second surgery and the standard of care remains exemplary. Thank you!”

“Beautiful people! May God bless all the staff and doctors. Thank you for the beautiful care. Scottish Rite Hospital is truly a blessing to us.”

Recently, a few of the hospital’s nurses and other staff had the opportunity to be a part of a photo shoot for Med Couture. Med Couture manufactures health care apparel and asked Scottish Rite Hospital to take photos in their scrubs for marketing purposes. Thank you to all staff who participated!
