Here at Lady of the Sea General Hospital, all of our patients are important to us. We strive to provide the most advanced health care available in a facility that not only meets today's standards, but exceeds them.

There are many laws around today to protect patients, and we consider these laws very important. For instance, all types of abuse are taken very seriously here. We are mandatory reporters of suspected child abuse, as well as abuse of the elderly or disabled. Please know that if you are a victim of abuse, you medical needs will be handled confidentially and professionally, and a social worker is available to you.

We also take very seriously your patients rights while here in our hospital. All patients have the right to confidentiality in their treatment and care according to the law. We also extend to our patients additional rights to protect not only their health, but also their dignity.

In short, we do treat our patients like family and consider them one of our own. Our tagline "Compassionate Care, Close to Home" is not just a tagline to the employees of Lady of the Sea - it is the directive of our daily work.
