Letter: Our positive experience at Mission ER

Mission Health doesn’t have the greatest reputation these days, so I wanted to share a positive experience my family and I had there last month.

My daughter had an adverse reaction to some medication, which landed us in the emergency room. As if that situation isn’t stressful enough, my husband and I didn’t know if we’d be able to be seen or what quality of care our child would receive. We were lucky to be first in line and were taken back promptly. The doctors and nurses were caring and competent, admitting our child for a long observation.

Thankfully, she was fine after the medicine worked its way out of her system. We left in the middle of the night, tired but with a healthy child!

We’re grateful to the Mission medical professionals who took such great care of our girl. As is often the case, there are good people working for awful corporations. I appreciate the people giving their best despite being in difficult work environments. They made a difference for us that night.

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
