| Quality is defined
as the “degree of excellence which a thing possesses.” To
us, the only acceptable quality is the best—the best
staff, the best treatment practices, the best safety
precautions, the best employee satisfaction, the best
food. We are constantly striving to make
your hospital stay the best. Examples of how we
strive to maintain the best quality for our staff and
patients can be seen on our Quality
