  • DAISY Nominations| Memorial Hospital Chester

    Did one our nurses go above and beyond to show you or your loved one EXTRAORDINARY care? DAISY Nominations Did one our nurses go above and beyond to show you or your loved one EXTRAORDINARY care? Nominate them for a DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses ® Nurses at Memorial Hospital and our Rural Health Clinics are being honored with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses ®. The award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s mission to recognize the extraordinary, compassionate nursing care they provide patients and families every day. The DAISY Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, by members of his family. Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. (DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System.) The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families. “When Patrick was critically ill, our family experienced first-hand the remarkable skill and care nurses provide patients every day and night. Yet these unsung heroes are seldom recognized for the super-human, extraordinary, compassionate work they do. The kind of work the nurses at Memorial Hospital are called on to do every day epitomizes the purpose of The DAISY Award,” Said Bonnie Barnes, FAAN, President and Co-Founder of The DAISY Foundation. “We are proud to be among the healthcare organizations participating in The DAISY Award program. Nurses are heroes every day. It’s important that our nurses know their work is highly valued, and The DAISY Foundation provides a way for us to do that,” said Chief Nursing Officer, Susan Diddlebock. In addition to the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, the Foundation expresses gratitude to the nursing profession internationally in over 3,900 healthcare facilities and schools of nursing through the J. Patrick Barnes Grants for Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice Projects and for nurses participating in medical missions. More information is available at DAISYfoundation.org Nurses may be nominated by patients, families, and colleagues.

  • Convenient Care | Memorial Hospital Chester

    Hours: 8am to 8pm every day of the year. How Does Convenient Care Work? A Triage Nurse will perform an initial assessment. The Triage Nurse and/or Physician shall have final authority in determining whether the patient’s medical condition qualifies them for treatment in Convenient Care. What can I be seen for? Contusions/Bruises Sprains/Strains of the extremities. Colds and/or Flu-like symptoms involving the upper respiratory tract. Fever, with uncertain cause. Earaches Sore Throats Simple lacerations/cuts requiring stitches or staples of 2 or less. First degree or minor second degree burns. Low back pain from lifting, or chronic low back pain. Headaches (patients with previous work-ups) Abrasions or cuts & scrapes. Rash with no blood pressure or breathing complications. Insect stings or spider bites with only a localized reaction. Urinary Tract Infection without fever or vomiting. Scratched Eye Foreign bodies in the eye. Foreign bodies in the nose/ears. Sinus Infection School and/or sports physicals (Payment due prior to exam.) Employment Physicals Convenient Care Hours Sunday-Saturday 8am-8pm How Does Convenient Care Work? A Triage Nurse will perform an initial assessment. The Triage Nurse and/or Physician shall have final authority in determining whether the patient’s medical condition qualifies them for treatment in Convenient Care. If the patient does not qualify , they will be offered Emergency care. If the patient does qualify , they will be charged for this service at a reduced rate. Any testing (lab tests, X-rays, etc.), supplies used, or medications given are at an additional cost. Additional reviews of X-ray or lab work may be necessary and will be charged separately. If patient becomes worse and needs to be treated in the Emergency Department, charges will be billed at the regular Emergency Department rate. In order to do Convenient Care at a reasonable cost, the patient is always asked for the Convenient Care co-pay the day of treatment. As a Convenient Care patient, your treatment becomes secondary to patients in the Emergency Department. It is critical for the staff to treat those with severe conditions first. Why Choose Convenient Care Emergency Room claims can be denied because the insurance company determines them to be “non-emergent”, which leaves the patient responsible for the bill. Convenient Care is billed at a lower rate to your insurance provider or to you. You can be seen after normal clinical hours for illnesses or injuries that do not require emergency care. You can even be seen on weekends. Download Brochure
