Patient care isn’t possible without you
By: the Medical Executive Committees of Salem and West Valley hospitals
This year, from Oct. 6 to 12, please take time to honor our physician associates and all the great work they do during National Physician Associates week.
Each day, our physician associates work diligently and thoughtfully to care for patients both in our hospitals and our clinics. They interact with members of the healthcare team to meet patients at their most vulnerable and help them navigate difficult situations so they can continue to live meaningful lives. Physician associates are crucial in linking patients to healthcare services, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
Caring for patients would not be possible without them!
Thank you for all that you do and we honor your contributions — not only this week, but each and every day!
