Care quality needs to be there as well as listening to what the sick person says is wrong, don't patronize him, her. Chambersburg Wellspan hospital needs to offer more complicated services that send people to--Carlisle, Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, Pittsburgh, other areas---cancer diagnosis and treatment, back surgeries, hip, knee replacement surgeries and what would really be great is...a Fitness, Health, Wellness Center offering cardio weight training, racquetball courts, 1 or 2 huge pools with slides, occupational, physical and brain therapy, offer low impact fitness classes, cafeteria and restaurant, gift shops that offer Wellspan name and saying to go with it. read more

I came today for a diagnostic cardiac catheterization and had the best experience. Absolutely all staff from security at the weapons detector, information test, registration, and catheterization lab were all top rate.sadly, the only nurse whose name i recall was Maddy, even though they each introduced themselves and were kind, professional, and helpful. My cardiologist was Dr Jeremy Rier who I thought the world of! All my questions were answered clearly and I knew everything to expect. I worried for absolutely nothing! I have nore testing to do next week and will require a procedure in the near future yet fully trust that I am in the best of hands! read more

While the expanding of the ER and other departments continue, it's only a minor-hiccup of walking access to/from the ER Dept. entrance. This Hospital has always met or exceeded our families Care Needs, (over the past decade+). The heightened Security is comforting and was a pleasant team when arriving at the Main Entrance. Special Note: Tuesday's Staff in Short-Stay was exceptionally WELCOMING, kind and caring of mine and my husband's needs and requests. THANK YOU kindly Karen and Donovan, Eric, Kel, Dr. Chu and Margaret from Anesthesiology, Benjamin, Zoey, Kennedy and Dr. Slipak. (I apologize for any misspellings, and if I missed naming anyone that helped me- it wasn't intentional). Merry Christmas to all of you and your families. read more

Do not go to this hospital! This hospital is one of the worst in the nation. It treats its patients like dirt and makes treatment conditions worse. The management threatens/(yells at) to throw unstable patients out on the street and refuses to tell patients/families where they are throwing them, which is illegal. This is one of the most unprofessional hospitals in the country. This place should be investigated and shutdown! Management should be arrested! read more

The nurses on this floor are outstanding--far better than the system they're forced to work under. The real issue is leadership. There's a complete lack of thoughtful decision-making, and it shows in the policies they put in place. The food is terrible, and now patients are expected to go downstairs themselves to pick up deliveries. So what exactly is the plan--have people walking through the hospital in gowns, dragging IV poles, exposed and vulnerable, just to eat? That's not just inconvenient, it's unsafe and completely out of touch. At this point, it's hard to believe these decisions are made with any real consideration for patient dignity or safety. If common sense were oxygen and I had to rely on leadership here to provide it, I wouldn't last long. read more

The billing office is the most brain dead people to work with.They sent a bill to our phone to pay a bill and my day has two insurances to bill to.This is like the third time going threw this with them and then it was there fault. They don,t know how to code there billing and if you pay then they will make money twice.My dads insurance pays in full 100%.I would never want to go to that hospital for even a small scratch. read more

Was recently here for a family member and they are "UNDER CONSTRUCTION", like under the floor drilling while people are recovering from surgery. It's the most awful experience you could have. The room wasn't cleaned in three days at least, the neighbor was blocking the air conditioning vent so it was hot and not helpful if you're running a fever. The staff seems like they are under stress either due to patient load or construction. read more

I spent the last 2+ months inpatient at York Hospital. I would like to thank all the Outstanding Nurses and Doctors for the Amazing care I received. ICU was beyond excellent as to literally keeping me alive. I was then turned over to the care of the Nurses on 6 Main. I cannot say enough good things about these nurses. They were absolutely the best of the best. The kept The incredible amount of pain I was experiencing under control as much as could be medically safe. The professional integrity was top shelf. Not only the medical care but emotional support, encouragement, and of course dealing with my quirky ways were just wonderful. The doctors were the best, especially Dr.Vabi and his surgical team saved my life repeatedly and never gave up. The nutritional support, especially Zoey, and the the sweet encouragement from even the hospitality staff especially Carter put a smile on my face. Thanks again to all, for bringing me home. read more

I came in with appendicitis (didn't quite know it was that) and the staff was extremely helpful and kind. I got an IV, several tests done, and a laparoscopic appendectomy. Everything was explained well and done with great quality. I was there on a busy day, so there was a lot of wait time, but this is to be expected and my appendix didn't burst so I'm pretty happy with the results! read more

WellSpan York Hospital - Hospitals Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

Please don't sign a Consent Form for surgery unless you have had time to read it. They use pressure tactics to make you sign forms - 5 minutes before your surgery!!! They are unethical and will pull a "bait and switch." The rock star doctor you "thought" was doing your surgery may not! You might just get the opening act. You may be used as training for a rookie, resident surgeons!!! If you complain, they kick you out of their practice! Beware! Totally unethical - malpractice! HONESTY MATTERS! read more

I had neurosurgery on 10/2025. The Nurse Anesthetic couldn't get my foley in properly so she hammed into my prostate. I bled for quite awhile. The food is terrible and in fact, my dog eats better than what they serve. Next time I need a hospital, I am going to UPMC. read more

This place was amazing even with the construction going on. Empowered staff, lots of communication, kept up to date. I MUST mention my (mothers) case worker: Jamie. Her handling of what was a difficult time for me was exemplary in all aspects. read more

They are extremely slow and inattentive. Care is subpar and I feel like I know all the ER staff on a personal level as they stood by my door and talked for a better portion of me being discharged. Can someone help me understand the discharge process and why I had to wait an hour and half after being told I was good to go. read more

Cases managers and Internal medicine doctors are also ignorant. They threatened to throw the elderly women with dementia out on the streets. They refused to say where they were dumping the person. The person had two verified insurances. The department of Health of PA, Dept. of Aging, and States Attorneys were told and nothing was done. The hospital mistreated the elderly women. The women died due to poor treatment and care. Do not go to this hospital if you value your life!!!!! read more

MEDICAL GASLIGHTING, RUDE. I had to get an IV. The nurse stretched the tourniquet around my upper arm, but kept stretching as hard and as thin as she could until it couldn't be stretched any more. It was really painful, so I spoke up and said, This is REALLY hurting!" The nurse snapped back, "No, it's NOT!!!!" and ignored me. She also walked away after the tourniquet was tied. Wow, really?! I'm telling you how much pain I'm having, and not only do you not acknowledge it, you tell me I'm not having any! Being in the medical field myself, I have inserted IVs and drawn blood by the thousands. And as a patient, I know when it's not done correctly. This has happened waay too many times, by too many staff. I am not talking about discomfort; it remains painful, and leaves bruises. This is inexcusable. They need a refresher course or any 60 sec You Tube video to see how wrong they are doing it. I took pictures of the indented, red lines she made in my arm became she did it wrong. Dr. Denise Kaczorowski, M.D. read more

Nurses were amazing! Ambulance people amazing. We were there 5 hrs for my toddler who had her 1st seizure. Never saw a doctor.

This place is a joke, doctors don't listen. They know you better then you. Giving me dirty looks cause I eat a 1 milagram Xanax, and not his 25 milagram seriquil. Then wanna give me dirty looks, then when I tell him the truth and tell him not.to look at me like that. We can go out front if u wanna stare at me like a punk, then the nurse get all brave running her mouth, while security around. What a joke. Sad people. Dont do nothing but check ur vitals, dont wanna do any actual tests. Yall took my blood all ready. I will never go there again. I wanna enjoy my life your medication makes me angry. ​ read more

My stay here was from 11/14-16. My wait in the ER was minimal. Clean and well organized area! Test result were in an hour and I was explained results and questionable findings which lead them to further investigations. Everyone seemed to work well together. Thanks to Chris, Shannon, Mendez for your care. I was transferred to a room awaiting invasive investigation. Everyone explained steps multiple times and were amazing in making me feel comfortable. First hospital I encountered that allows your loved ones to stay after visiting hours! The rooms and restrooms well sanitized, thanks Malaysia wu!!! Hospital food, well it's hospital food, it appeases hunger not taste buds! Parking at this facility area was tight but free. The only negative thing I encountered was that at 9:44 my Dr placed discharge orders by 11 am. I was unhooked from IV at 12:04 but left needle hookup still on my arm. I called at 12:22 to ask removal was told nurse would come. I removed my own cardiac wires. 12:39 asst. nurse apologized and said she didn't get authorization but would remove, thank you!!! 12:44 ready to go but waiting to sign discharge docs. 1:12 I'm starving and started to feel lightheaded. 1:20 nurse finally came to give me vaccine, I asked for glucose test. Finally got discharge docs told I'd get apple juice for low glucose but didn't want to wait any longer. Stuck candy in my mouth and finally went home!!! Otherwise great place! read more

Well, it's been a hell of a week. On Wednesday night my husband had sudden pain in his abdomen. We thought it might have been a hernia. We called our Wellspan doctor and made an appointment the next morning. The doctor sent him for a CT scan, with an appointment 2 hours later. I brought him to the main entrance of the hospital in advance of his appointment, and yay, medicine in the time of Covid, I am not permitted inside the hospital to go with him. I am glad that I made sure he had a phone charger with him before we went. Four hours later, he called me to pick him up. He had no answers and had not been given pain meds by either our doctor, nor the hospital. It takes about half an hour to drive home from the hospital. Literally around the corner from our home, our Wellspan family doctor called my husband and said he needed to go immediately to the Emergency Room. Question 1: Why in the world did they let him leave with no one reading the scan??? Question 2: Why wasn't he given anything for pain? Since we were so close to home we went home. I grabbed his contact lens case and cleaner, his glasses and his daily medications. He was so worried about what was going on, we didn't think to grab entertainment or clothing for him. By this point, it was assumed he would be admitted. Again, at the Emergency Room, I was not allowed to go with him. I get it. It sucks, but I get it. Keep the covid bubble closed. He was given a covid test in the ER. He was allowed to keep his phone. He was in the hospital through Saturday evening, in the same clothes he was in on Thursday. I understand that they don't want anyone in or out, but surely someone could have figured out a way to let patients get clean clothes, deodorant, a laptop, etc. When being discharged they didn't have anyone to bring him down to be picked up. So he walked himself out. Complaints vented, aside from much of the process being people-less and kind of cold, my husband reports extreme efficiency and good nursing staff while he was there. He reported that the food wasn't too bad, once he was allowed to eat. read more

if I could put -negative stars I would. labor and delivery. they need shut down.... pediatric unit? Needs demolished. This place was recommended by someone since I'm sorta new to the area. I am on a very tiny dose of medication that "could possibly" show signs of withdrawal in my baby. But again I'm on a dose that is comical (one nurse actually said this). They didn't drug test me or my baby once born so WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TREATING OR WATCHING FOR?? Can anyone tell me that a newborn baby whom is either sleeping swaddled or in the middle of a feed gets taken, undressed, poked, prodded, and then now crying uncontrollably isn't going to be wailing their naked arms and feet?!? But they said, "the book I READ in med school told me that's a symptom????" Weight became a concern. Newborn hit 10% loss, so understandable concern. create plan- half Breast milk half high calorie formula... done. bet weight will be great at next check in... nope not good enough. There were so many other significant issues but to keep this shorter, yeah. no drug testing which is routine for an addict like me who has 10+ years sober, not one doctor or nurse new any basic info about me like how I had a 32 week unknown reason loss there the year prior. Their either understaffed and can't do their jobs properly, or they just effing suck that bad. Never asked for one narcotic or any drug of that sort during my stay. They're getting sued. My lawyer is on it. Don't go there. Google them. In 2023-2024 labor and delivery needed to be shut down to so many issues. The care was just crap due to the experience all in itself. read more

Without notice, Wellspan hospital told us that they would be kicking my 95 year old, disabled mother with dementia out of the hospital within 24 hours and refused to tell us where they would be taking her. My mom is under the Navy and has two insurances. She also was medically unstable and bleeding with an open wound. She could not walk and was in heart afib. What a great hospital! Wellspan is the worst medical group. The social workers and case managers are not your friends! read more

1. My step dad had to go to the hospital a few months ago because of health issues unrelated to COVID. They kept him overnight and he was getting better the next day. But since he tested positive for COVID (because everybody does) he agreed to let them put him on Remdesivir. His health started declining IMMEDIATELY. They were killing him. My mom talked some sense into him and he stopped taking the Remdesivir. It was no surprise whatsoever that when he stopped taking the Remdesivir his health IMMEDIATELY improved. He was promptly released. Two days ago he had to go back to the hospital. Again for health issues completely unrelated to COVID. He tested positive AGAIN for COVID. Come on! He's not even sick! It's protocol that they test everyone that walks in the door. And everyone oddly enough tests positive. We all see through the crap! 2. My daughter struggles with depression. Sometimes it gets pretty severe. I took her to Wellspan emergency room this evening to speak to someone in Crisis. We didn't even get through the door before they forced masks on us and told us that her friends (her support team) had to wait in the car due to COVID restrictions. I don't think they quite understand how mental illness works! It took lots of guts just for her to even decide to get help, and she wasn't taking another step forward without her support team. We left immediately and got NO HELP AT ALL because all Wellspan cares about is COVID. We spent the last 3 hours calming her down and got ZERO HELP! THANKS FOR NOTHING WELLSPAN!!! read more

I was in the ER 2 days ago. The staff were nice enough. An older woman fainted and staff were quick to get to her and very calming. Otherwise when they did the regular vitals check they only asked one question, about pain level and it felt very impersonal. One staff was coughing terribly his entire shift. He would lower his mask, cough into his hands, sometimes put his mask back up then touch everything at his station. We never saw him clean his hands. He called my name for a vitals check and I asked him not to because he was coughing constantly into his hands. The bathroom was disgusting. We waited for 7 hours before going back to see a doctor and I never once saw anyone come in to clean the bathrooms. No one told us what to expect as far as the length of time we might have to wait. I know that's hard to predict, but we waited 7 hours. Had I known it would be even a few hours I might have called the other hospital to ask how busy they were. I was in terrible pain the entire time. The two doctors, nurse and other staff in evaluation area were wonderful. The bathroom I used back in that area was clean too. read more

Arrived around 10pm to a packed waiting room and a higher than normal volume of security/cops, but I don't know what was going on in that aspect. I went to the desk to signed in which was done in 30sec followed by walking over to the nurses that take your vitals and figure out what you need. I waited in the waiting room for about 15mins maybe before being called to x-rays. That only took 5mins and the tech was very nice. After going back to the waiting room, I was given an ice pack without even asking, which was perfect b/c mine from home was done. A random nurse walking by saw me struggling to get my sweatshirt sleeve back on and helped me without hesitation or my asking her to do it. After about 30-45mins in the waiting room after x-rays, I was taken back and my wrist/lower arm was casted up and I was sent on my way with a most likely broken wrist, told to follow up with the specialist. Overall, I was satisfied with the quality of care from the employees and the time it took. Could've been a lot worse all things considered. read more

Husband had severe TBI and nurses and doctors were awful. Lack of communication between departments causes lack in care and worst nursing staff ever. I had to stay in hospital to ensure meds were given, he was checked on, no one cleaned room, I had to change sheets, help him to and from bathroom because nurses were too busy texting on their phones or complaining about their patients. HIPPA laws were violated several times. No one seemed to care... I begged for help was was only told, "we're waiting"; "you know it is the weekend and we don't have a full staff", etc. head of trauma talked to me for less than 10 minutes during almost week stay and couldn't get information. NEVER EVER use this hospital. Have your loved one transferred if they are forced to come here. Lack of compassion, humanity, qualified professionals, violated HIPPA laws, and treats patients and family like they are inferior, actually talking negatively and making fun of their patients. Total lack of respect and violation of PA Patient Rights. read more

WellSpan is a joke all the way around, from 4-hour ER visits to a 1 1/2-year wait list for psych services to being charged for services you never received.

This place killed my dad. I believe when he complained of chest pains and had a few test that came back negative I said to my self WTF, about a week earlier he went in to get his gaul bladder removed and when the removed it and then they cauterized and sent him home. Few days later he complained his stomach was hurting and he was passing blood out his butt hold so his wife took him back up and they to get checked out and they gave him a room to stay while they tried to find the internal bleeding and then he died just like that. I do believe in my heart that this piece of shit hospital that they really don't give a crap about your health at all all they want is your money. they didn't even give my dad autopsy to see what really killed him. Please I beg you. DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL PLEASE unless you want to die. read more
