“I have more energy than I have in a while. I am so much better than a year ago. I send praises to Audrey, Annie and everyone here. They push you in a sense where you want to get better. It has been a great experience all the way around.”

“I can now hold my children, speak without much stutter, and stand up straight. If it wasn’t for my therapists, I would still be struggling, but instead I am improving each and every week!”

“Here at DCMH, it is so much more personable. You are not just a number to them, but a person and friend. They are able to take care of you as a person, not just another patient coming through their office.”

“I just feel like I am in good hands when I come here. On top of that, it is such a convenience having this hospital in Greensburg…They can come here and receive the same amount of great care in their hometown.”

“I have never in my life had more caring doctors than Dr. Ferry and Dr. McCullough. They go above and beyond for their patients and then some.”
