“It’s frustrating that we can’t take care of patients how we’d like to,” said Bella Panchal, a speech therapist at Riverside Community Hospital. “I would take my time instead of rushing, rushing, rushing. But we are overworked and understaffed. I want to be able to say I'm proud to work here and bring my family to this hospital. At this point, I’m not sure I can say that.”
