Patient Relations Team

The Patient Relations office is available to support you and your family through your hospital experience by addressing compliments, concerns, questions or suggestions about your care and service.   Your feedback is important to us and helps us know what we are doing well and what opportunities we have for improvement.

What you should do if you have a concern:

If you have feedback during your hospital stay, we encourage you to first speak with your nurse, team leader or attending physician. If you are not satisfied with the outcome, ask to speak with the Manager.  If you still have a concern following this, please contact the Patient Relations office.
