Thank you for the great scores!

Since May, 2006, the federal government has looked at healthcare with the same eye towards customer service as the mom and pop grocery store down the street.  Only in the case of the federal government, they tied reimbursement compensation for Medicare payments to the 'voluntary' solicitation of customer feedback from hospitals nationwide.  The process has been tweaked and refined and the first year of results are finally available on-line.  Needless to say, many a hospital administrator has been sweating this first release of results.  Across the board, BGH rated high scores from those patients that returned the questionnaire/survey.  We're proud to say that 90% of patients that used BGH from October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007 rated us either a  9 or a 10, on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the BEST!   AND, 93% of those replying to the questionnaire said our Doctors "always" communicated well. 84% of our patients surveyed said that their pain was 'always' well controlled; 85% said they 'always' received help as soon as they wanted. 90% of the patients said our nurses 'always' communicated well.

That word "ALWAYS" is key to the results.  Check your dictionary as "always" means just that...at all times; on all occasions; continuously; forever.  

Just like our slogan says..."We'll Take Good Care of You."  Maybe we ought to add another word....Always.

Big Sales at New 2 U Resale Shop

New 2 U Resale Shop, a fundraising project of the Bellville Hospital Auxiliary Volunteers, has a phone!

When the shop first opened, a phone wasn't installed.  So, now you can call before you drop off items!

Speaking of drop-off, Santa Claus must have dropped off a huge bag of holiday goodies because the shop is beautifully decorated for the holidays with a wonderful assortment of Christmas and Holiday gift items, home decorating items, toys and beautiful seasonal clothing for all ages.  You just have to stop in and see for yourself!

It's a unique shop with a flair for great bargains in a nice, clean environment.  Come see.

CLOSED THANKSGIVING WEEK!!!!

BGH turns 80 in 08

 BGH celebrates 80 years of consecutive service to the people of this greater area in 2008.    If you remember Christmas dances from the past with lots of candles, pine and pine cone decorations, popcorn strung by hand and used to trim a freshly cut tree; the smell of cinnamon and apples in the air; a 'surprise' visit from Santa and gifts for everyone, plus buffet tables filled with assorted entrées   and desserts (plus egg nog and other holiday drinks, of course!), then plan to join us. We're proud of our past, but we're focused on our future!  Come join us as we celebrate 'then and now' this Christmas season - Saturday, December 6th at Welcome Hall.  Call (979) 865-3141, ext. 154 for more details.

  A lot has changed and a lot has stayed the same. You see, we  feel you can have state-of-the-art equipment and still provide that down-home tender, loving care that your grandmother believed in.   Don't believe us?  Ask anyone who's been a patient at BGH and you will hear the same response time and time again...."they treated me like family."
