You and your family are important to us. In order to provide you with the best possible treatment, your care will be managed by a team of health professionals composed of physicians, nurses, case managers, therapists, dietitians, technicians and other healthcare professionals.

Your nurse will talk with you and your family to determine your care needs and involve you in decisions about your plan of care. Along with your doctor, the nursing staff will check your response to treatments, follow your laboratory studies and other special tests and monitor everything related to your hospital stay.

A major goal of our staff is to help you regain your health and independence as soon as possible. If you are moved to a different unit, your plan of care will continue to be implemented and communicated with other health care team members to ensure that your care, teaching and needs upon discharge are met.

One of the most important aspects of your care will be your preparation for discharge, in order to make a smooth transition from the hospital to your home. Our hospital professionals will work with you and your family to make arrangements for any special discharge needs that you may have.

The Washington Health System’s mission is to provide great patient care, and we envision being the healthcare system of choice for patients, physicians and employees. We take great pride in the care that we provide to patients and families in our community.  Because of our commitment to transparency, we would like to share the links to websites of outside organizations that compare our quality and patient safety initiatives to hospitals across the country.
