At the Dayton Heart Hospital we put our patients first. The concept of "patient-focused care" is fundamental. The design, management, staffing and operation of the hospital is all focused on the patient's needs and overall comfort.

An astounding 97% of the patients at Dayton Heart Hospital said they would return to the hospital if they needed further cardiac care and they would highly recommend the facility to family members and friends who need cardiac services.

We receive many cards and letters from patients and their families expressing their thanks and appreciation for the care they received. Below is a sample of those letters. Patient names have been withheld for privacy.

Dear President of Dayton Heart Hospital,

I wanted to share some comments on your hospital. My doctor recommended your hospital. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel comfortable and important. The girl in admitting was very attentive to us and was very kind.

Jenna, the first nurse that I had contact with picked me up in the waiting area and was very kind from the onset. I met a young man on the elevator, named Ken that made me feel very welcome and concerned about my case.

All the nurses were very kind as well all the employees I came in contact with. Jenna, Beth, Gene, all the nurses. . . .I am sorry if I forget some of their names, but I just want to let you know you have a top notch nursing staff.

Also, I am very happy with Dr. Kevin Kravitz, he is a miracle worker. I felt very comfortable with him. He explained my situation from the beginning, in
layman's terms. Dr. Maraboyina was great as well.

Also, I am a Roman Catholic and it was very comforting to have Father Tom Beishel
come to my room to give me the sacrament of the sick before my cardiac cath. I felt such a calmness after he prayed with me and my family. Thank you so much for having him available.

Again, you have a wonderful hospital and I am letting everyone know this. Thank you for your fine care"

I wanted to thank you all again for being a professionally run Hospital. All the staff and nurses were really nice to me. I was really impressed.

A special thanks goes out to my surgeon, Dr. Hoffman. He even changed his day off to do my surgery.
