Care to Share Feedback Program
Delivering the highest quality care with a heart of compassion has been Saint Agnes Medical Center's promise since 1929. It is what we strive to provide every patient, with every encounter. And to make sure we're meeting our goal, we are seeking input from former patients and their loved ones. Who better to advise us about ways to improve the patient experience than the very recipients of our care. Our desire is to not only meet, but exceed the expectations of every person we serve.
That is why we are soliciting input and advice from former patients, family members and the community, through our Care to Share program. We are seeking volunteers to serve as Experience Advisors in one of these capacities:
- Participate as a member of our Patient and Family Advisory Council
- Provide feedback in a focus group
- Review patient education and marketing materials
- Share about a personal Saint Agnes experience(s)
- Role play as a patient for staff education
As an Experience Advisor, you will have an opportunity to improve and influence many aspects of the patient care experience:
- Environment of Care
- Quality and Safety
- Communication
- Processes and Procedures
