Our Patient Relations Department is also a conduit for patient advocacy – you, your family and friends are your best advocate. We encourage all patients to SPEAK UP about the care you are receiving. Our staff and physicians also advocate strongly for each of our patients. Patient Relations Volunteers visit admitted patients to talk with them about their stay and care provided.
