I’ve had a lot of experience with Pershing Health System over the years. My husband and other family members survived injuries and cardiac arrest when taken to the Emergency Department and Life Flighted to Columbia. I’ve visited the Emergency Department many times due to my cardiac issues. My three children were born there. I get my mammograms, endoscopies, colonoscopies, CT scans, MRIs and X-rays there. My family and I have always received good treatment. The doctors and nurses are always kind and professional.

I’m so thankful we have a hospital here in Brookfield. When my son was little, he went into convulsions due to a high fever. I drove him right to the hospital. I wouldn’t have been able to drive him to the hospital if the hospital wasn’t here.

I definitely recommend Pershing Memorial Hospital to friends and family. We’re so fortunate to have this hospital in our community. Some people refer to Pershing Memorial Hospital as a “Band-aid Station.” I tell them, “No! It’s a Life-Saving Station!” My husband, son and I are alive because of our local hospital.
