This is Our Belief
We believe in world-class health care where you live. This is the foundation on which we are building a new kind of health care system. An innovative system with the financial commitment to invest in the things we believe, and the operational experience to make it work.
We believe in state-of-the-art facilities and clinical technology. We believe in top-notch physicians and nurses. We believe electronic health records support your continuum of care. We believe in health care that begins with prevention and builds around your needs. It's called fully integrated community care.
We believe community care systems are essential to the economic health of our communities. We believe by strengthening health care community by community, we can strengthen health care all across America.
Welcome to Steward Health Care.
Believing in quality is one thing, measuring it is another. How do you measure compassion? What are the standards of accountability? What defines excellence? Our measures are specific. And public. We believe in a culture of safety. And we live by it.
We're proud to receive outside, independent awards for excellence. This past year alone our hospitals have received a dozen awards, from St. Elizabeth's Medical Center being named one of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals by Thomson Reuters, to Norwood Hospital and Good Samaritan Medical Center being named to the Leapfrog Group's 2010 Top Hospital List, to four of our hospitals being named Blue Cross Blue Shield Centers of Distinction.
Our external awards reflect our beliefs. Our internal measures confirm them. We call our system-wide, 24/7 commitment to constant vigilance CARE: Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence.
Above all, we attract like-minded believers from around the world. Surgeon Dr. Ingolf Tuerk believes in robotic surgery and is the foremost robotic urology pioneer in the world. Renowned otolaryngologist Dr. Peter J. Catalano brings extraordinary expertise and leadership to his belief in minimally invasive sinus surgery and rhinology. And shoulder to shoulder with every world-class physician stand the most accomplished registered nurses you'll find anywhere, because they believe family isn't just DNA, it's neighborhood.
No other community health care group has the most productive and biggest robotic surgery program in the Commonwealth. We do. We believe minimally invasive surgery promises less pain, smaller incisions and quicker recovery. No other emergency room has the extremely precise 256-slice scanner that can save lives with immediate diagnoses. We do. And our investments in teleneurology and tele-ICU will let patients be seen by specialists in other hospitals without even leaving the room. All because we believe this is world-class health care where you live.
We're ten hospitals strong. And growing. Watch the Video >
