YEAR IN REVIEWASPIRE TO GROWTH - VIDEO TRANSCRIPTMission Hospital purchased South CoastMedical Center in order to extend ourministry of the Sisters of St. Joseph ofOrange. We have a deep care for the citizensof the coastal communities in south OrangeCounty.For so many years, the community, the physiciansand employees were unsure whether there was goingto be a hospital. Now there’s an assurance that notonly is there going to be a hospital, it’s going to behere for a long time and the resources are going to beavailable for it to be an excellent hospital.We conducted an extensive community health needsassessment which we focused entirely on the needsof Laguna Beach and listened to their concerns. Inlistening to the community, probably the biggestconcern is the need to be able to access emergencyservices when they need it.Thanks to Mission Hospital being in Laguna Beachnow there’s a lot of comfort in knowing that if there’san emergent need, paramedics can bring the patientto the emergency room to be triaged, for the hospitalto provide for those needs. And if the services are notavailable that are needed, the patient can very quicklybe transported to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejoto provide that patient what they need.Michael BeckVice President Operations, Mission Hospital Laguna BeachThey provide an opportunity for Mission Hospitalto strategically plan so that we can build upon thoseservices both at this campus and at the Mission Viejocampus and look to see who we can partner withwithin our community to make sure that our primaryand secondary service areas have what they need.One of the things that many staff has said over the pastyear is that Mission Hospital’s focus on recognizingsacred encounters really speaks to why they wentinto healthcare.
