November 15, 2025
Receiving calls from Endeavor staff members is an ongoing issue because caller ID's are simply phone numbers that mirror those I receive continuously from spammers. Secondly, finding out which door to enter Endeavor hospitals and where to go once inside is usually a real challenge. Not patient friendly for those unescorted to a particular office.
