From my visit to the ER, to my stay in the hospital, to going out the front door, everything about my care was excellent. The attitude and cheerfulness of the staff was unbelievable. You have got some special, special people working here. They were great about telling me what they were doing and kept me informed all the time. I appreciated that. They provided conscientious care. I see good staff morale here. You can feel it by how they work together. It’s very comfortable how they introduce each other during shift changes. Physical Therapy was also great.
I like how the call light system informs you that your care team has been notified. And they always come quickly. I loved the ‘room service’ provided by the kitchen staff. It made me feel special. The food quality and appearance were great, which helped me to eat well and stay nourished during my recovery. The kitchen staff are the best! If I must come back to a hospital, this is where I will come.

“After having been cancer free for 12 years, to receive another cancer diagnosis and have it staged at four was very overwhelming. Just the thought of having to navigate treatment and doctor schedules was discouraging. A dear friend told me Dr. Collins was practicing here in Powell. I was relieved to be able to see an oncologist just minutes from my home. She developed a treatment plan, answered all my questions and visited with my daughters, which helped us all relax. I felt I could ask anything (and did). She helped me navigate the side effects of chemo treatments; such as what to eat (drink plenty of water) or what supplements and medications were ok. I was able to do all my infusions here. In fact, the Infusion Center became a family of sorts. I could visit with staff and other patients, or just watch a movie on my tablet, that is until I fell asleep. Some of us told jokes or shared funny stories. Some just let us know they cared and were wishing or praying for good outcomes. Rachel, Whitney and Patty at the Infusion Center are always kind. They kept me encouraged.
It is a huge blessing to be treated here. I am happy to report the last PET scan says we are winning big! Thank you Lord! I sincerely appreciate all the skill, patience and hard work from Dr. Carletta Collins, Dan Fong, PA-C, and staff! Thank you, Powell Valley Healthcare, for making this treatment so close to home, possible.”

“I’ve been in other hospitals and none of them were like your hospital. If I were rating your hospital on a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give it a 100. Everyone has been awesome, and they have all went above and beyond. They deserve kudos.
My food is always hot, and prompt. Will and Nate always ask me if I need anything opened. They go above and beyond. The nurses have all been very, very caring. The staff works so well together. You all should be proud. You have a great staff. If I ever need a hospital again, this is where I want to come.”

“My surgery was wonderful from the whole get go, beginning with the people who helped manage my insurance. The ladies in pre-surgery, everybody was just wonderful. They were attentive and gave good explanations. This is a wonderful facility with great people working here. I’m very excited about it because I’m very active. I have a big dog that I walk every day; I swim and do Zumba, and I haven’t been able to do these things. And then my hip got really bad, because it’s being influenced by my back. Everyone is excited about this new TOPS device. It is cool. I’m 67, but I’m very active. I swam 3 days a week and my husband and I are golfers. I had to quit these things. I told Dr. Sielatycki that I’m happy to be his poster child for Wyoming. I want to do this procedure, and I want to get back to my life. I’m very excited.”
Diane is the first person in Wyoming to have the surgical procedure using the TOPS system, a state-of-the-art motion preservation spinal device.

My experience at PVHC for my hip replacement surgery was excellent! Dr. Galen Mills is outstanding in all areas. He explained the surgery fully, both the good outcomes and possible complications. He is courteous, kind, thorough, and actually listens to what his patients have to say. On surgery day, every person I came in contact with was caring and responsive to my needs. I again received excellent explanations of each person’s job during the surgery and was asked if I had any questions. I would highly recommend to anyone to have surgery at Powell Valley Healthcare. My healing was very quick and thorough due to Dr. Mills’ outstanding skills as a surgeon.
I would like to give a shout out to PVHC Physical Therapy also! The entire team is excellent, from scheduling to individual therapy. The care I received from the entire staff was kind, courteous and attentive to my healing process!

“After experiencing some complications during the delivery of my first baby, my anxiety became elevated during my second pregnancy. Dr. Comer and each member of the OB team delivered excellent care and were extremely supportive in helping to ease my mind through every visit. I would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Comer, RayAnn and Danielle! RayAnn and Danielle not only provided exceptional care, but were so knowledgeable. The information they provided helped me feel comfortable and confident in the decisions I had to make during my pregnancy and delivery. Dr. Comer took the time to listen to my concerns and advocated for me when I wasn’t able to advocate for myself. Our community is very lucky and blessed to have an OB team that is passionate about their jobs and their patients… and it shows!”
