Bath in new health care survey
BLACKSBURG - The Virginia Rural Health Resource Center, on behalf of the Virginia Department of Health, Office of Minority Health and Public Health Policy is conducting a community hospital satisfaction survey. The purpose of this survey is to assess various aspects of health care among Virginia's seven Critical access hospitals, including:
• Bath Community Hospital, Hot Springs
• Dickenson Community Hospital, Clintwood
• Giles Memorial Hospital, Pearisburg
• Page Memorial Hospital, Luray
• RJ Reynolds-Patrick County Memorial Hospital, Stuart
• Shenandoah Memorial Hospital, Woodstock
• Stonewall Jackson Hospital, Lexington.
These hospitals qualify for special federal funding under the Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant, which is designed to ensure that hospitals are available in rural areas of the United States. They are hospitals with 25 or fewer beds located at least 35 miles from another hospital. The grant provides money for innovative networking, quality improvement and emergency medical service. VRHRC encourages anyone with an interest in the quality of health care provided in the community to complete the survey. The survey can be found on the internet at www.vrhrc.org/ CAH_Survey.html. Individuals can also request to have a copy mailed or faxed to them by contacting Beth O'Connor at 540-231- 7923.
