Meriter's Commitment to Quality
Patient Service



Ann Ebert, Meriter Perinatal Clinical Pharmacy Specialist, and "graduate"Meriter's commitment to extraordinary service leads us to measure satisfaction through surveys and interviews of patients, families, physicians, employers and others who tell us about their experiences at Meriter.

Results say we do well when it comes to satisfying patients and others we survey; it also points out ways we can improve our service to them the next time around.

Meriter benchmarks itself against more than 700 hospitals nationwide by participating in NRC surveys.
