Hospital Seeks Input from Public in Developing ‘Philosophy of Care’


Leamington District Memorial Hospital (LDMH) is seeking input from the community as it develops a “Philosophy of Care.”
“The development of a philosophy of care is an important quality initiative the hospital has embarked on this year,” said Roberta Jarecsni, Vice President of Patient Services & CNE.
“In developing this philosophy we are asking the public and our patients about what they most value in the care we provide,” she added.
As part of the government’s commitment to the provision of quality care and excellent care for all, LDMH has committed to the development of a philosophy of care that will guide the provision of a patient service plan for the provision of quality care for all patients and improvements to the hospital’s patient relations systems.
Throughout the next few weeks, a series of focus groups, one-on-one patient interviews and other consultations will be conducted.
“We wanted to ensure the entire community had a chance to provide input into this process, so we are also launching our public survey available on the hospital’s website,” said hospital CEO John P. Stenger.
The survey is available on the LDMH website at: www.leamingtonhospital.com. It is a quick survey of 8 questions and all are invited to provide input.  For anyone that does not have internet access but would like to provide input, please contact Lena West, Patient Representative at: 519-326-2373 ext. 4118 or lwest@ldmh.org.
