At Lima Memorial, we know that hospitalization can be a stressful experience. That’s why we do everything we can to make your stay with us as pleasant as possible, from providing a comfortable environment to recuperate in to ALWAYS treating you with courtesy and respect.
To help us ensure that our patients are pleased with their care, we participate in a nationwide program that surveys patients about what they like and didn't like about their experience at Lima Memorial.
The HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) Survey includes questions about aspects of the care experience. Lima Memorial's complete patient satisfaction results will be available on the HCAHPS website in January 2009. Select results from the HCAHPS survey are available at this time below.
