E.J. Noble Hospital Philosophy:
As a community hospital, we do more than just provide medical care. It also provides stability and viability to the surrounding towns and their residents.

As a facility, we are aware that a positive relationship with the communities we serve is imperative. Every person that walks through our doors is to be treated with the same dignity and respect we would afford to our own family and friends.

Our Staff, who are members of the various communities we serve, are trained individuals who maintain their education through the various opportunities provided by our in-service/education department and the programs presented by others at this facility.

We work, in conjunction with family members and other services within this facility, to provide the best care possible for our patients while at the same time maintaining each patient's right to privacy and confidentiality.

Although a patient's time with us is relatively short, we hope to make their stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible under the circumstances. Every patient that stays at E.J. Noble Hospital has the opportunity to submit a patient satisfaction survey. This survey is utilized by us, as a tool to re-affirm what we are doing right and to show us where we still need improvements.

We are pleased that the residents of our surrounding communities trust us with their care and hope to continue to do so in the future.
