Patient Relations at Munson Healthcare
We want to provide you with the best possible patient care, and we strive for excellence in every area of our hospital. We welcome all of your feedback – about what we are doing right and what we could do better. If you have a comment, concern, question, or compliment, you may contact us before, during, or after your visit. We value your comments because they help us improve and maintain a high standard of care.
We Want You to be Satisfied

- First, talk to a staff member about it.
- If you still have concerns, ask to speak with the manager.
- If your concern isn’t addressed to your satisfaction, please contact Patient Relations.
