Our culture is communication

Whether it's the friendly smile of a co-worker, the willingness of a colleague to lend assistance or the clear understanding of your role at San Antonio Community Hospital and how it affects outcomes, communication is the key to our culture. It's why we feel like a family, why friendships last for decades and why people care about what they do. Communication is the foundation of our welcoming atmosphere and supportive team environment – one that will support growth and development throughout your entire career.

You'll see this commitment from the top down, too. There are countless ways in which the hospital makes sure that communication is accurate and consistent.

Such as:

• Management's hands-on approach and open door policy that strikes a balance between support and autonomy
• Inclusion of employee representatives at the monthly President's Luncheon
• Attendance of the Executive Management Group at all new hire orientations
• The Fountain, our monthly newsletter for employees and volunteers
• Ongoing communications via e-mail, open forums and rounding
• Professional Practice Forums and other Hospital committees, staff meetings and newsletters

In addition, SACH works to improve communications among staff members in order to improve patient outcomes. Our computerized charting system achieved "meaningful use" status through the federal government in 2011. This resulted in the hospital receiving financial incentives and the distinction as one of only five percent of hospitals nationwide to achieve this status.

SACH's commitment to communication is largely responsible for the unique community that we treasure. It extends beyond our hospital to the entire Inland Empireand reflects our values.

We walk the talk

While many employers may claim to have a tight-knit community that is guided by shared values, SACH actually walks the talk. Our employees are united by various events and activities that benefit individuals, the hospital, and the community that we serve.

This includes:

• Wednesday Walkers
• Bike Club
• HCAHPS (Hospital Care Quality Information from the Consumer Perspective) awareness events
• Ice cream socials
• Women's Day Out
• Blood drives
• Halloween festivities
• Cardiac symposiums
• Hiking club
• Community Education classes

In terms of our values– Safety, Integrity, Excellence, Compassion and Accountability – they, too, are demonstrated on a continual basis.
 

For example:

• We employ a safety officer and have a Safety Committee that is devoted to employee, patient and hospital safety.
• Integrity is maintained through an ethics hotline, which allows employees to raise concerns anonymously, and without fear of retaliation.
• SACH has been recognized for excellence through awards from HealthGrades, Consumer Reports and U.S. News & World Report.
• The hospital recognizes the compassion of employees through the Craig Award, named for our founder and presented annually to an employee for exceptional community service.
• Accountability is evident through our desire to go beyond the minimum and do what's best and to lead by example.
