Making a difficult situation easy
"During my hospital stay at Riverwood in Aitkin, I received excellent care. I couldn't ask for better doctors, nurses and nursing assistants! Food service and housekeeping employees were wonderful too. My health problem was not great, but the Riverwood staff made it a great patient experience." -David B.
Great first impression
Ann Rorem from McGregor recently share what wonderful care Riverwood staff gave her mother, Margaret W. Ann and her family have had a cabin on Big Sandy Lake for many years and this was her first visit to Riverwood. She shared that from the moment she arrived with her mom in the Same Day Clinic to being admitted as a patient was top-notch. Ann expressed her gratefulness for clinic physician, nurses, lab, and internal medicine physicians for the exceptional care and expert medical advice given in regards to her mom.
They treated me like family
"When I needed emergency care for an infection that triggered sepsis, Riverwood provided outstanding care over my four-day hospital stay. They treated me just like family. When I walked the hallways, I was greeted with a hello and friendly smiles. I truly believe this outstanding level of care helped me to get well faster." - Dennis C., Garrison, MN
