Why Choose Greenwich Hospital

The Work Environment and Hospital Culture

Greenwich Hospital is a busy community hospital located in a beautiful area of southwestern Connecticut. The hospital has a 100-year history of treating all who pass through its door with compassion, respect and a genuine welcome.

Greenwich Hospital has created a culture of service excellence that has revolutionized the way it delivers patient care. Its new hospital building, which opened in 1999, was designed to facilitate this patient-centered philosophy.

All employees are encouraged and rewarded for innovation and change. While in some places suggestions for improvement might not be heard, Greenwich Hospital knows that its best advances have often come from within. Employees helped design the new hospital layout to improve the flow of patient care. Levels of management were flattened to make the hospital more responsive to the changing needs of the diverse community it serves. The hospital has consistently been ranked among the top hospitals in the U.S. in patient satisfaction.

The hospital's generous salary and benefits package enables the recruitment of highly skilled and well-educated physicians and employees from a wide range of towns. This mix of talent has helped create a medical team that delivers exceptional patient care and incorporates the latest medical advancements.

Achievements and Awards

In keeping with its culture of service excellence, Greenwich Hospital has consistently received excellent evaluations from the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). It received high marks following its most recent survey in September, 2001. In addition the hospital was part of a federal JCAHO pilot study designed to evaluate the use of core measures in hospitals.
