Cape Canaveral Hospital was built to take care of NASA's space workers during the Mercury program…read morein 1962. It has been expanded over the years to 150 beds and has grown with the community. The environmentalists refused to allow expansion because filling in the one foot deep water around the hospital would affect the sea grass that the manatees eat (despite the fact that the manatees cannot swim in one foot of water). A new and smaller hospital is currently being built on Merritt Island. CCH has a nickname of "Cape Catastrophe". The hospital has an uneven reputation. As a former RN clinical supervisor and acting hospital administrator for a 400-bed hospital in Massachusetts, I have some experience regarding hospitals. I have also worked in an Emergency Trauma Center. The CCH building is old, as are several hospitals in the Boston area. But, old CAN be clean and serviceable. The key to any hospital is the staff and how they are managed, trained, and treated. There are some less than desirable MD's and nursing staff while the great majority do a good job and are professional. However, it is always the bad experiences that stick out. Some basic issues are that most staff have their badges turned so you cannot see their ID, photo or name. Most wear scrubs so you cannot tell the difference between the janitorial staff and medical staff or what they are supposed to be doing there. Most staff do not introduce themselves or tell the patient why they are there or what they will be doing. That is one of the first things students are supposed to learn. The staff is very casual in attitude and do not display the usual expected professionalism in manner, attention to their uniforms, or equipment. I was in the ER with a client as a patient advocate. The patient had continuous uncontrolled bleeding from a procedure two weeks earlier. After a cursory exam and some tests, the staff shrugged their shoulders and said IDK why there is bleeding. "We called her treating doctor who did the procedure and she said to make an appointment in 6 weeks". The patient was sent home only to go the ER at Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne 25 miles away a day later. She was admitted. The nursing care has been good and professional. However, the hospital does not have a regular urologist that works with the hospital and the MD called in privately does not take Health First insurance. At least she is being treated. It is sad that a patient needs a professional advocate to navigate the local healthcare system for basic care. Florida has moved up in its statewide healthcare rating from 48th out of 50 to 42nd beating out Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. That rating is an average that includes the award-winning Mayo Clinic, UF medical school, Advent Health, Shands, Tampa General, Cleveland Clinic, and Baptist Health Hospitals. Central Brevard on the mainland lost Rockledge Regional Hospital due to raw sewerage backup, bat guano from 10,000 bats living inside the building, and other issues so residents must choose between traveling a distance to CCH or Holmes. Ask questions. It is about YOUR life. You are entitled to the information if you are a patient, medical surrogate or professional advocate. Be polite and persistent to get the information you need to make a truly informed decision. The best action is to remain healthy.

My husband came here after having a stroke. Absolutely everyone on the staff was knowledgeable,…read moreprofessional, and caring. I spent a couple of weeks in a hospital in Georgia, and the care here is a hundred times better. I can't say enough about the doctors, nurses, and even the food service workers.

Again, I heard nothing. I began calling the office and tried for weeks but they NEVER answered. I went in person and got schedule. I was seen once and immediately scheduled for multiple appointment. I showed up and waited in the office for 15 minutes before being rescheduled and turned away. The evening before my next appointment, I received a tex message canceling my second appointment. The day before the 3rd appointment, I received a call canceling that one as well. After 6 weeks of being in pain and trying to be seen, I'll never go here again. I advise you do the same.
