  Unless you are a very aggressive bully, I would not recommend working there. However, that said, the bullies enjoy complete control, are promoted and virtually ensured job security.

  Absolutely horrible, waited for over 4 hours in extreme pain while being told " just a few more minutes"... waited so long the cold bag they gave me melted... if you need help , your better off driving to Calgary. Thank you Invermere hospital for letting me suffer...

  Absolutely the best care I have ever received in a medical facility. I walked in and was greeted quickly by Katelyn, who took care of me and made my wife and I feel comfortable. Dr. Gooch was very professional and updated me quickly after ever test and lab result.

  I've been to the ER here twice in the last month. Both times I was ASTOUNDED at the level of care I receive. Special thanks to the nurses, and Dr. Olmesdahl and Dr. Schaffer. Wonderful bedside manner, kind to my spouse and service dog, attentive and helpful, and even followed up with me like they were my GPs. Thanks a million.

  But to give an example of the patient care in that facility: After having been screamed at for answering the call bells, and then screamed at for not answering them; I asked what the guidelines were. I was told, by a NURSE, to "only answer the call bells of patients who 1) are a fall risk AND 2) have families that are likely to sue". Only two patients on the ward met that criteria. There were law suits pending when I was there.

  I have always heard Canadian Social Medicine was horrible, but I can attest that the Inveremere Hospital and medical staff that were assigned to me were better than any I have received in the United States. The initial contact with Katelyn was comforting because she was concerned about my welfare, professional and informed. No administrative clerk around making sure that I had insurance or a way to pay for the treatment, in fact no one ever asked how or if I could pay for treatment until I was released by the Doctor.

  >>>I would strongly URGE people to NEVER take their loved ones to Columbia House. And if you feel like you have no other choice, make it abundantly clear, from the beginning, that you will not hesitate to take aggressive legal action. I have witnessed that aggression is the only language understood by the health "care" staff at Columbia House.

  Regarding Columbia House, the Long Term Care ward of Invermere hospital: I cannot begin to describe the extreme bullying there!
