2007 Report to Our Community
Investing Is Caring
An Ideal Hospital ExperienceIf you want to create the ideal hospital experience for all patients, where do you begin? At Lehigh Valley Hospital, we’re starting by asking our patients first. Our Patient-Centered Experience initiative will enhance every aspect of a patient’s hospital stay. The project’s advisory board includes former patients, their families and community leaders, who review all new projects to ensure caregivers like Nnenna Ndujife, R.N. (left), deliver the most complete care to patients like Karen Atkins of Reeders. This is a long-term investment—it’s a 10-year project. But you’ll see changes immediately. One example: families now can visit with loved ones in the recovery room shortly after surgery. Think of all the things you’ve invested in over the years—that first guitar you saved up for when you were 12, your college education, your home and your family. Investing is about money, but it’s also about so much more. You invest vast amounts of time, energy and love in the people and things you care about—building that business, attending all of your son’s soccer games, planning your daughter’s dream wedding. Investing is truly a form of caring. At Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network, we invest in the very things you hold dear—your family, your community, your health and well-being. We use our resources to invest in buildings, equipment, programs, ideas and most of all, in people. This year, we also invested $127.1 million in programs and services that benefit our community. That’s what makes us a charitable, not-for-profit hospital. The return on our investments—seeing people living healthy lives—is priceless. When you need health care, you want to turn to a place you can trust. The investments we make ensure you can count on Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network whenever you need us.
