Philosophy

A community of care

The very nature of medical care demands constant upgrading in services and expertise. In keeping pace with rapidly advancing medical technology, SICH will continually review, upon the advice of the medical community, the need for advancements.

The only product a hospital has to sell is quality patient care and service. To delivery optimal patient care, the hospital will be responsive to our patients, our community, our physicians, our personnel and our volunteers. To facilitate this, SICH will provide sensitive nursing care, efficient and broad diagnostic services, a clean and friendly environment, technologically advanced equipment, reasonable charges and progressive management.

An ongoing evaluation of these statements of philosophy will be an integral part of assuring that the best interest of the patient will always be foremost in the minds of those responsible for the management of SICH.
