With the complexities of the healthcare system, it is important for every person to have access to the information they need to make the most informed healthcare decisions. Many sources of information on healthcare quality are available to the public, but patients may not always know where to find the information they need.

Because we want our patients to have access to reliable information about healthcare, Hendrick is committed to providing clear information about our accreditation, quality initiatives, recognitions and quality measures. Information from several organizations is available on the Hendrick Web site to help patients and their families as they make important decisions about their healthcare services.

Many factors go into the overall care and experience of a patient during a stay in the hospital. Patients are encouraged to consider all the sources of information on healthcare quality available to them, so they can make the most educated decisions when it comes to their healthcare.
