The care I received at Appleton Area Health was exceptional! I'm so thankful for the compassionate care of Dr. Nwakama, the nurses, and surgical team. Everyone took the time to listen to my concerns and every step of my surgery and recovery was explained thoroughly. Most importantly, I was able to have my total hip replacement right here at "home." We are so blessed to have such quality care right here - thank you AAH!

"For over 8 months out of this past year, I was coming to the Clinic and Hospital with issues concerning my ear. Sometimes 3 times per day. I must say that the Nursing staff and Doctors that have had to take care of me, are ABSOLUTELY the best. The nurses are very compassionate. they are true heroes in my books. So, Thank you very much Carrie, Kenzie, Crystal, April, Kris, and April.  I know there are more nurses that I've not mentioned that embarked on the ear adventure with me, but I can't remember everyone that took such great care of me. Without y'all,  encouraging me, seeing me last minute in the middle of night, and truly being concerned, I don't know if I would have been strong enough to handle it all. THANK YOU ladies! Without those nurses helping me and being so patient when I lost my ability to speak, I would have gone crazy. They are incredible! I want everyone knowing what a wonderful and amazing job these nurses are doing."

“Ray came to AAH for their swing bed services after being treated for a blood clot and aneurysm at another hospital where we were told that amputation was a strong possibility. Soon after his arrival, AAH staff quickly recognized complications and arranged for transfer for more extensive treatment of his condition.

​

After treatment, he came back to AAHS for swing bed services once again. We could not be more pleased with our decision. His after-care and rehabilitation was extensive. We were helped and guided by so many people throughout Ray’s extended hospital stay. Marcia Kells, Dr. Bajwa, who was sometimes at the hospital on his days off, and Dr. Bess, who provided surgery right at AAHS, are intelligent, talented, and very personable.

​

Wound specialists Penny Hormann and Kris Payne have done a great job and continue to guide us. Therapeutic support was provided by Big Stone Therapy, under the direction and watchful eye of Kelly Wittnebel.

​

Every single person was friendly and helpful, from the RN’s to Maintenance and Housekeeping.
We can’t say enough about the AAHS nursing staff and their nursing aides. They are phenomenal. Absolutely the best. The degree of care and compassion they provided to Ray was exceptional. They are smart, intuitive, and are the humble heroes for Ray’s recovery. We will never be able to say ‘thank you’ enough.

Thanks to this staff, a 95 year old man walked out of the hospital and is continuing his recovery at Apple Ridge Estates, where he is making progress every day.”
