The staff at St. Elizabeth's is excellent, from the ER to the hospital units all staff is caring and empathetic with every patient. I have spent time in both area hospitals, all around the staff at St. E's is better prepared to deal with the adversity that different patients bring. Also, the staff at St. E's has a better work ethic and is much more empathetic. That is not to say some staff at the other hospital doesn't have these qualities. In this writers opinion St. E's is overall a better place to receive around the clock medical care.
