Philosophy
San Antonio Community Hospital's goal is to assess, promote, and maintain patient pain management during hospitalization through the development of policies and procedures, standards of care, education, and service improvement monitoring. The Pain Management Service provides state-of-the-art comfort management services through nationally recognized standards of practice, clinical competency, and patient and family education.

We want to make your stay as comfortable as possible by maintaining an acceptable level of comfort, including relief from pain. In order to achieve that goal, we will need your assistance in understanding and communicating the level of pain. If needed, our Pain Management Coordinator is available to work with you, your nurses, and your physician to help manage your pain.
