So thank you once again to all the amazing loving staff at Riveredge. You guys all have amazing hearts.

Former female patient

Lucky

She puts her entire soul into her job putting every effort to try to move the earth to ensure I never end up in a hospital again. She made me feel safe to reach out for help and updated me as often and she had information even staying late to keep me in the loop and going beyond her job. That is someone who cares. That is someone who creates miracles, who fights for the patients and I really appreciate having her. Riveredge Hospital is lucky to have her.

Blessed

I am writing to thank you for how much you helped my brother, who was under your care in the winter. He was going through increased aggressiveness. As a result of your skills, your compassion, your staff at Riveredge Hospital, he has responded positively to the med he was prescribed and has no anxiety issue. He is able to just be himself without someone controlling him. He has also finally found out what it’s like to be less anxious in general as a result of his meds. We, his family, including his 89-year-old mother, can’t thank you enough. We love him dearly and we’re blessed to have you.

Truly Helped

I can’t begin to explain that you all have truly helped me out a lot while I was in Riveredge. I pray that I take the wisdom and joy that you have shown towards me and many others. I only pray that you will continue spreading the reality check through many more young adults and pre-teens. I can’t help but to thank you all so much for the hard work you have done. I only wish is that you keep me in your hearts and minds and prayers as I will always come back for your strong input and to continue to make the sky the limit.
