Patient Safety is a top priority of our care of patients at Memorial Hospital. This corner will feature interesting information to increase awareness and safety for our patients.

We value a team effort in assuring our patients are safe during their stay at Memorial Hospital. Therefore, we are making available in all depts. a form you can use to provide input regarding a patient safety concern. This concern can be reported to your Supervisor or to the Patient Safety Officer, Joanne Skorupski RN, Director of Quality at Ext. 5722.

We are also providing information in the admission packet for all patients regarding patient safety. If a patient has a concern about their safety, they may ask you for assistance or complete a form to forward to your Supervisor or the Patient Safety Officer.

The course must be directly related to your job or be part of a degree seeking program. The degree must be able to relate to available job opportunities at the hospital.
