Commonwealth University Health System. These associations allow us to have access to world-class medicine right here in our community, while we remain an independent community-owned hospital. Our commitment to safety is another common- sense way we center our care on the patient’s needs. The first oath of medicine is to do no harm. It seems like a simple concept, but patient safety must be at the forefront of consciousness for every member of the modern hospital team. Safety is the top priority at every level of our


organization, including physicians, management, volunteers and staff. Each of us, in our own way, plays an essential role in keeping patients safe. With patient safety the focus of our individual roles, CMH provides a hospital-wide culture of safety that is demonstrated in everything we do. These initiatives, and other staff-driven efforts


focused on providing patient-centered care, have contributed to CMH’s patient satisfaction scores.
