Deckerville among those celebrating National Hospital Week

Deckerville Community Hospital will be joining hospitals across the nation in celebrating national Hospital Week starting May 7th. Hospital Administrator Angela McConniche said the event is a celebration of hospitals and those who work each day to ensure a healthy community. She said Deckerville has an amazing staff and wonderful volunteers.

Deckerville Community Hospital  continues to adapt to new technologies and treatment options as well as adding specialties to provide the healthcare needs of the community. Many people in the community are simply not aware of the vast amount of services available to them, but with a newly redesigned website in process, DCH hopes to change that.

McConnichie said, “It is important for members of our community to know that we are equipped to care for them with state-of-the-art equipment and expert specialty services right here in Deckerville. We have equal capabilities of diagnosing and treating patients as other hospitals located miles way. The only difference is we’re right here and committed to the overall health of our community.”

Each department and service offered at Deckerville Community Hospital demonstrates what has become the signature trademark of local healthcare. The combined positive energy amongst the medical, office and support teams truly contribute to the kind of care and exceptional service that the community has come to expect from DCH.

Recent projects at the hospital have helped the facility improve the overall experience for patients and guests. The Healthcare Services Clinic has undergone renovations, which will create a modern and soothing environment to visitors and those who are checking in. Watch for an Open House announcement coming soon.

Equipment upgrades and enhancements also continue. Recently, the hospital’s OR department has upgraded its surgical lighting system. This new system allows state of the art surgical lighting in the operating room.
