About

Hillcrest Hospital South stands as a leading provider of healthcare services, committed to delivering care with compassion for patients and their families, respect for our dedicated staff, and accountability in our fiscal and ethical practices. We take pride in our responsibility to the communities we serve.

Your role as a patient is crucial in ensuring safe and effective care. We encourage you to be an active, informed participant in your healthcare journey. This information is crafted to equip you with the necessary tools to engage confidently with your health team. Never hesitate to voice questions or concerns; your health is paramount, and clarity is essential. If something is unclear, seek further explanation from your physician, nurse, or healthcare professional.

Stay attentive to the care you receive and communicate any unmet expectations to your healthcare providers. Educate yourself about your diagnosis, medications, medical tests, and treatment plans. Gather comprehensive information about your condition and any equipment involved in your care. Designate a trusted family member or friend as your advocate—someone who can effectively communicate on your behalf and assist in clarifying treatment options.

Engage actively in all decisions regarding your treatment. As the central figure of your healthcare team, your involvement in decision-making is vital. Hillcrest Hospital South's Transition to Practice Program is proudly accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation in Practice Transition Programs. This accreditation currently includes our Medical-Surgical workplace settings.

We are grateful for your trust in Hillcrest Hospital South for your healthcare needs.
