About Northwest Community Hospital:
Message from the President
Dear Friends,
Many of us have heard the adage “Change is the only constant.” The emergence of the Internet and its capabilities is proof positive. Information technology has had an impact on nearly every area of our lives. So much information is now available at our fingertips that filtering information for reliability and having confidence in the source is a challenge unto itself.
Northwest Community Hospital is helping you meet those challenges without sacrificing the convenience of “at your fingertips” information. It’s our goal to be a reliable source of health and wellness information that you can depend on. That’s why we have created, with careful consideration of the content, a website that is both reliable and comprehensive in scope.
Our newly updated website provides over 2,000 pages of health information content, including:
- Information on specific services at all Northwest Community Hospital facilities
- A Health Library with over 1,500 illnesses and conditions presented
- Twenty of the top health topics presented in depth
- More than 2,000 medications explained in detail
- Current health news stories, updated daily from major news organizations around the world
- NCH's new Symptom Checker, an interactive feature with a clickable body map
- Health Interactives which include quizzes, calculators and assessors to assist you with your personal healthcare needs
- FREE password protected and secure, comprehensive medical record area where you can keep track of Health Records for you and family members
These are just part of what we deliver every day at Northwest Community Hospital online. Our enhanced site is now more engaging than ever. For example, you can enroll for classes, screenings and special events online with our Online Events Guide. Are you looking for a primary care physician or specialist? Visit our Online Physician Directory where you can search by name, gender, location, or specialty.
Looking for a recent NCH publication? Check out our regularly updated Publications page, where you can read many of our print publications online.
You can Pay your Hospital Bill Online in a safe, secure online transaction. Send a loved one who is an inpatient at NCH a complimentary, hand-delivered e-Greeting Card, or purchase a lovely gift at our Online Gift Shop . . .all from the convenience of home.
Most of all, we are proud to introduce our Quality Report Card, which offers our website visitors an inside look at how Northwest Community Hospital measures up to the state and national averages in a variety of categories including performance in specific medical services, mortality rates, quality of care and patient satisfaction. No other hospital in the Midwest has a similiar website! We hope our Quality Report Card will assist you in your healthcare choices.
