We Care About Your Care
Our goal is to provide the best quality healthcare. So we want feedback from patients like you:
- How’s your stay going?
- Are your needs being met?
- Are your doctors and nurses listening and responding to your questions and requests?
If you have questions or concerns about the care you or your family member received, please
speak with your nurse or nursing supervisor. If you feel that your concern wasn’t resolved,
please contact our Patient Advocates at 484-628-8663.
Regardless of whether you have used the hospital’s grievance process, you can file a
compliant/grievance with:

We Value Your Feedback
Once you leave our care, we will continue to seek your feedback through the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey. It is used to measure and report patient satisfaction. It’s made up of simple questions on key topics, such as:
- Doctor and nurse communication
- Medication and discharge information
- Staff responsiveness
- Overall quality of the hospital
If you’re selected to receive this survey, please take the time to complete it. The results will
help us know what we’re doing right and where we can improve.
