Rodney Curran entered the Emergency Department at McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital with chest pains. Now as a heart attack survivor, Rodney credits McCullough-Hyde’s Emergency Department team with saving his life.

“From the moment that I walked into the Emergency Room and said I needed help, God and the staff took over checking everything within a matter of a few minutes. From the time that I was placed into a bed at McCullough-Hyde, until I was boarded onto the helicopter, everyone there was by my side for my safety and conform. There was no dissension in the ranks that day in the Emergency Room as they all seemed to work together and at the same level.”
