Life is full of surprises, you want to live healthy and for some reason your life isn't healthy you don't have structure, well when I was incarcerated I've been sent to Eastern State hospital it changed my whole life in a good way I bought in to the system and trusted the doctors two of the doctors that I healed with are the best doctors in the business, Dr hackemiller in Dr.C, you have to be on the same level and you have to trust the system I know the systems are hard to trust but you have to trust the system it will help you in every way of your life you have structure you live healthy 6 months out of the hospital and I broke addiction and I broke homelessness I have relationships with my family, and I'm back like I was, I know you'll feel all alone when you get out of the hospital it's all up to you it's all up to you how you turn out you have to take your own medication you have to go to your counseling, you have to trust your counselors in every way and they will help you I'm at frontier behavioral health for 6 months now can I plan on going there for a couple years more trust me it can't hurt. I was in a work-related accident I felt my life spiraling out of control, my behaviors was impulsive and trust me it was dangerous for society. Thanks Eastern. Sincerely Robert Hannum.

I feel anyone applying to work at Eastern, whether it be a permanent or agency you should know some of what you're getting into. My issue with this facility has been going on for 3+ years. If you're a person of color, please read. Don’t get me wrong there are decent people who work at this state facility. I feel like most of the 2nd and 3rd shift staff on the unit floors, in EVS and in switchboard are awesome. But as far as administration and the so-called, and I really use this word loosely “supervisors” go, not so much. I'm meaning the Chief Nursing Officer, some of the HR staff, a couple MHT5s, and a lot of the RN4s, along with few others in the CNO and admin offices who just go along with things even though it may completely violate policy and/or ruins peoples livelyhood. Not all of them, but from what I’ve experienced there’s enough. For those who dont know CNO stands for The Central Nursing office. They have to be, in my opinion, THE most unprofessional, racially prejudice, INCOMPETENT, and Immoral group of people I've ever seen or met in my life. These people I'm refering to aren't held accountable for hardly anything, so they can get away with almost everything. I've heard them, with my own ears disrespecting good floor workers. Saying childish stuff like name calling, and doing other little retaliation acts like refusing overtime even though the floors really need them or taking back overtime already scheduled. These people target certain staff they don’t like. They only hire who they can keep in their pocket and turn on anyone they don't like. Yes, I mean LIKE. It rarely has anything to do with how well they do their jobs. It feels like it's become a social club for degenerates and bullies. I've seen amazing workers fired, demoted, and/or forced to step down. While horrible workers who shouldn't even still be working there get promoted. These people know exactly who they are. Example: My old NOC shift RN3 on 2N3, was racially prejudice. She discriminated against myself and other people of color. Mainly agency staff who weren't under the union contract. I wrote a grievance about work place harassment and discrimination. A week or so later, to me appeared to be in retaliation to my grievance or to at least cover it up. I was put under a 4 month investigation for Insubordination. I was basically being punished for sticking up for myself. Then the Chief Nursing Officer, attempted to force me back under this prejudice woman despite me telling her I didn't feel SAFE there. Because I didn't feel safe, I obviously refused to go back. I was placed on another 4 month investigation for Insubordination. No investigation was ever done regarding the racial injustice nor did anyone care to even ask. The focus was on my reaction to the situation instead resolving the entire issue. They even coursed several staff to lie about the situation and say I was the aggressor. Which was the farthest thing from the truth. It didn’t even end with that. To further tarnish me they spread rumors about me being a problem, labeling me to other staff and supervisors as "Aggressive and uses intimidating tactics." Well, doesn't that sound familiar. Every time any person of color doesn't stand for the BS. That's what we're labeled. But not a single HONEST person I’ve worked with before or since has EVER said this about me. So, lets just say if it ever happens again I will be seeking legal counsel. With over a decade of experience in mental health. This is top 2 worst places I've experienced when it comes to discrimination and intimidation from upper management. Don't get me started on Inland Northwest Behavioral, that's number 1.

Very unprofessional recruiters. Just say whether someone got the job or not. State owned MENTAL HEALTH facility and they can't even treat their employees/prospective employees right!!!!! Do not waste your time applying for a position there unless you are from a certain ethnic background! DISCRIMINATION!!!!

This business and staff took awesome care of my mom when she was not herself. Nobody likes being in the hospital but at least I knew that she was safe and well taken care of, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is a state funded facility and if the surrounding area would get off their butts and actually help with donations this place could be the best in the nation. Funding cuts after funding cuts only hurt the ones we love who cant help themselves.

I was a patent here and the staff and other patents there at my time were amazing. I also was watching Stephen King direct one of many amazing movies there in the ward that's been shut down..and not to mention the monkey farm was cool. Easter state Hospital keep up the good staffing.

Gave them 3 stars just because of the time they make us wait to see my son, 30min to an hr. And then it is short visits because of it (they told me to be there before 4 and I do) Claims it is due to short staff and because I have minor children. Well hello his siblings want to see him too and we have to travel from out of town to see him. He Is getting good care and is doing good when he is on the right meds.
