COMMUNITY SUPPORTED HOSPITAL<br />
<strong>Marcus</strong> <strong>Daly</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> is your community hospital and a vital<br />
service to Ravalli County. With the support you provide by using the<br />
hospital’s services, the hospital can continue to expand, hire and train<br />
staff, and keep current with the rapid technology changes in healthcare.<br />
Patient survey responses and other comments inform about how well<br />
we are doing and where we need improvement. We appreciate the<br />
communication regarding the care you have received. The <strong>Hospital</strong> is<br />
here to serve your needs and strives to meet your expectations.<br />
The <strong>Hospital</strong>, Hospice and Ambulance programs rely heavily upon the<br />
dedication of volunteers who provide support for our staff and services<br />
for our patients. The <strong>Hospital</strong> and Foundation Boards are comprised<br />
of community members and physicians who volunteer to provide governance<br />
and oversight for the hospital. Thanks to the many volunteers<br />
for their time and energy.<br />
Margaret <strong>Daly</strong>’s original donation to build the <strong>Hospital</strong> in memory of<br />
<strong>Marcus</strong> <strong>Daly</strong> continues to support Ravalli County. <strong>Marcus</strong> <strong>Daly</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong><br />
<strong>Hospital</strong>’s philosophy has not changed; it was founded as a community<br />
hospital and that continues today. For many reasons healthcare<br />
costs continue to rise. Due to changes in how medical care is paid for,<br />
some services are not self-supporting, such as the emergency room, ambulance,<br />
pediatric rehab, and hospice. There are additional costs associated<br />
with providing quality care such as replacing and upgrading equipment<br />
and buildings, buying medicine, paying salaries and continuing<br />
education. Also, many in our community cannot afford healthcare, adding<br />
another financial challenge to the hospital.<br />
The hospital is a non-profit charitable organization and is not tax supported.<br />
Your donations help us meet our goal of being your choice for<br />
innovative, high quality, affordable healthcare. Thank you for your financial<br />
support of the <strong>Hospital</strong>.<br />
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer or make a financial<br />
contribution.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
A non-profit healthcare provider.<br />
Our Mission:<br />
We are committed to<br />
excellence in providing<br />
quality, accessible,<br />
personalized healthcare.<br />

How are we doing?<br />
We need your feedback for continuous<br />
improvement and want to hear from<br />
you. We welcome a letter or email<br />
detailing your patient care experience.<br />
Excellent, good, bad, indifferent, let us<br />
know how we are doing!<br />
If you receive a patient satisfaction<br />
survey asking you about your hospital<br />
stay, we would greatly appreciate it<br />
if you would complete the survey<br />
and return it, in the self addressed<br />
envelope. We constantly strive to offer<br />
the very best care and customer service<br />
and appreciate your feedback.<br />
Thank You.<br />
