stephanie came in with abdominal pain.<br />

But that wasn’t her number one concern.<br />

No, she was more worried about her best friend, a lovable bulldog that she had to leave outside in the car. And while knowing<br />

this kind of in<strong>for</strong>mation may not lead us to a diagnosis, we believe it’s absolutely essential to treating a patient right.<br />

It’s why we develop programs like our trend-setting, nationally recognized<br />

Doc at the Door program, where patients are seen by a physician-led team<br />

that includes a nurse, a paramedic <strong>and</strong> technician typically within 30 minutes<br />

of arrival. In Stephanie’s case, it helped us quickly give her a preliminary diagnosis<br />

<strong>and</strong> begin ordering testing so we could focus on what was really troubling her:<br />

getting the dog out of the car.<br />

At <strong>Parma</strong> Community General Hospital, we believe that treating you better<br />

begins with knowing you better.<br />

To us, it’s all vital.<br />
