Quality and patient safety go hand in hand, and at MedStar, our vision to be the trusted leader in caring for people and advancing health, will only be achieved by our unwavering commitment to both. You can count on that commitment when you choose any of the MedStar hospitals. Your safety is our number one focus, and we know that focus will also result in the highest quality of care throughout our community.
Today, even more exciting initiatives related to quality and patient safety are happening here at MedStar — all focused on You — working to make your experience of care the safest, and highest quality possible. To accomplish our vision, we invite you to partner with us as we embark upon a journey that provides safe, high quality care to every patient, every time.
