1 /5 Trista Fryer: You should only be able to leave a review and “recommend” or “not recommend” Newport Hospital if you live locally. The hospital favors tourists during tourists season and looks down upon local people with distain. You can hear them gossiping about the local people at the nurses station. Some specific examples include calling them alcoholics(“that guy is an alcoholic, his family can’t stand him”), referencing their frequency to the hospital as a hypochondriac(dismissing valid medical concerns), talking down about the local homeless(“if you feed him he’ll keep coming back”), and providing less care to those who need a shower(not taking vitals every hour and never checked in on him).
I put money on about 75% of the recommendations on the reviews are from tourists who got to see a different side of Newport Hospital that local residents do not know.
Staff there are judgmental and opinionated and also do not follow HIPAA rules. They are on their phones at the nurses station. Sometimes it’s actual phone call conversations, but most of the time their phones are sitting up in front of their computers so that they can mess around on their phone rather than provide care to those who deserve/need some attention.
I tried reaching out to administration multiple times to express concerns personally witnessed in the hospital. Not once was one of my phone calls returned and not once was I provided with an email. The subject to avoid any potential legal repercussions for their misconduct.
