Community Outreach Program
Saint Alphonsus Health System is committed to enhancing patient care, maximizing clinical skills and education of physicians and staff, integrating common clinical protocols throughout the region, and improving coordination of services.
In an effort to share resources and standardize care throughout the region, emergency protocols were developed and reviewed by multi-disciplinary teams to ensure that current, best practice standards, and treatment guidelines were included. Additional protocols will be added based upon network needs.
Saint Alphonsus Health System also offers a variety of educational opportunities focused on current best practice standards. This education is available via this website, in real-time, or may be available in DVD format.
Financial assistance for these educational offerings has been partially provided by Saint Alphonsus Foundation.
