“We will be conducting a ‘Medical Staff Development Plan’ to help us better understand the health care needs of the people within our service area,” said Michael K. Winthrop, President and CEO of TBH. “We value the opinion of our community residents and will use this information to determine how to best meet the area’s future healthcare needs.”
Added Winthrop, “The survey will be sent to hundreds of local and area people and will be completely confidential. We do not know who will receive a survey as it is a random sampling, and we will not know who returns the surveys as they will be returned to AmeriMed Consulting in Texas.” He noted that physicians will also be interviewed and surveyed as part of the overall process.
The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete and completed surveys should be returned in the postage-paid envelope no later than June 24, 2011.
AmeriMed Consulting will tabulate all sources of information and present the final results to TBH’s staff later this summer.
“I thank residents for their assistance in completing and returning the survey. I am confident their input will help us improve and better prepare for the healthcare needs of our community,” added Winthrop.
