As Care Experience Week comes to an end, we are excited to share our new Care Experience webpage!

This page has been designed and built using feedback from our Patient and Family Advisory Council volunteers who weighed in on design choices and what was important information to share with our community about the work we do.

There are also additional pages embedded on this site for our patients and their family members to share stories about interactions that they may have with our staff. This type of feedback is critical for us to collect as it helps to inform us about areas of opportunity for improvement, and to celebrate our staff for the excellent care that they provide each day.

If you have a positive story you want to share to say thank you to a staff member during Care Experience Week, please visit the following page and follow the steps in the contact form.

Learn how New London Hospital helps prioritize excellence in Care Experience within the Dartmouth Health System.
