Welcome
to the UH Bedford Medical Center Website. We recognize that in
today's high-tech world, many people rely heavily on the
internet for their information; therefore, it is our goal and my
personal vision to make this site your preferred destination for
health care resources. It has been designed to provide a wealth
of information in a well organized, easy-to-use format.
Our site
is updated frequently, so I hope you will visit regularly to learn
more about what we have to offer. Whether you are planning for
an upcoming surgery, need to find a physician, want to learn more
about upcoming community events, or are simply interested in learning
how to optimize your health and wellness, our site
can be your guide. There is something here for everyone, including
those looking for career or volunteer opportunities.
If you would
like to learn more about Bedford Medical Center, I invite you to
read about our 80 years of history in the
community. You may also
download our Welcome Guide (1.38MB)
for information that will be useful to patients, family members
and visitors to our facility.
This is an exciting time for UH Bedford Medical Center. As a
proud member of the University Hospitals family, we continue to
move forward and have reached many significant milestones over
the last several yearsmeeting and exceeding national benchmarks
for quality care and community commitment. Since 2005, we have
invested almost $20 million in our facility, which ultimately is
an investment in you!
Each project, renovation and service expansion
has been part of an overall strategy to reposition UH Bedford Medical
Center to better meet the unique needs of our communities. Our
Heart & Vascular
Institute provides a full spectrum of endovascular and cardiac
procedures; our expanded and redesigned Emergency Department allows
us to see and treat more patients, more efficiently than ever before;
our state-of-the-art Diagnostic Imaging Department offers the latest
technologies in MRI, CT and digital mammography; our Wound Care
and Hyperbaric Medicine Center addresses the growing need for advanced
wound care therapies; and many other aesthetic and functional
redesigns throughout the hospital ensure that you will be cared
for in an environment that is warm, welcoming and close to home.
Less
visible, but equally important, are the superb quality measurement
scores that we are attainingroutinely being placed in the
90th percentile for 90% of publicly reported core measures such
as heart attack, congestive heart failure, pneumonia and surgical
care. This is a source of great pride for me and for every single
employee at Bedford Medical Center. For you, it is your guarantee
that when you come to us, you will be cared for with compassion,
dignity and the highest level of clinical expertise. That is our
promise to you.
In addition to our commitment to each individual
patient, we also remain true to our pledge of support to the community
as a whole. Our outreach programs and screenings are designed to
educate, promote wellness, and strengthen the bond we enjoy with
our partners in local commerce. We provide free cardiovascular
screenings through our Dare to C.A.R.E. program, offer no-fee community
education classes on a variety of pertinent health topics,
and participate in numerous community health fairs and business
expos throughout the year.
Now in our ninth decade of service, the employees, medical staff,
Board of Trustees and volunteers at Bedford Medical Center thank
you for your continued support. It is our privilege to be your
partner in health and your advocate for wellness.
Sincerely,

Sean H. McKibben
President
