Welcome to The Miriam Hospital
 As
a physician, I know you and your loved ones have many questions about
your medical care—care that you have placed in our hands. Our
promise to you is that we will care for you with respect, courtesy,
compassion and our very best clinical expertise. We have developed
this guide to help answer your questions
and acquaint you with the hospital, our services and our caregivers.
We understand that an illness can often be a life changing experience,
both physically and emotionally, for you and your loved ones. The
Miriam's goal is not only to improve your health but also to help
your family members and loved ones cope with your illness and recovery.
Our team of highly skilled health care professionals is here to
provide medical, emotional and psychological support for your recovery.
From the day you are admitted, our staff works to anticipate your
needs, to keep you informed of your treatment plan and to provide
the best health care available, even beyond your hospital stay.
You are a partner in this process, and we encourage you to share
with us your complete medical history and to speak openly about
any of your concerns.
As a major teaching hospital for Brown Medical School and through
partnerships with other respected educational institutions, we are
able to offer you the advanced resources that are available only
through a teaching hospital, yet are delivered in the intimate setting
of a well-respected community hospital—a balance we are very
proud of and one that sets our care apart. As one of only a handful
of hospitals in the country to achieve the prestigious Magnet
Recognition for Excellence in Nursing Services, you can take
comfort in knowing that you will receive superior care.
We hope you find the contents of this guide
both informative and helpful. However, if you or your family have
any questions, comments or suggestions concerning either these materials
or your stay, please let us know. We will see that your concerns
receive prompt and careful attention and that your stay with us
is as comfortable as possible.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Hittner, MD
President and Chief Executive Officer
The Miriam Hospital
