Continuing with recognizing West Bend News’ devoted advertisers, we can’t say enough about our local hospital – Paulding County Hospital!
Nestled in the heart of Paulding, Ohio, Paulding County Hospital (PCH) exemplifies how a small-town healthcare facility can provide exceptional, state-of-the-art medical services while maintaining a personal connection with its community. With a mission to continually improve the health status of local residents, PCH seamlessly blends advanced technology with compassionate care.
Despite its modest size, PCH offers an impressive array of medical services that rival those found in larger metropolitan hospitals. Patients have access to specialties such as cardiology, dermatology, neurosurgery, oncology, orthopedics, and more. The hospital also provides essential services like emergency care, inpatient rehabilitation, and a fully equipped fitness center. This comprehensive approach ensures that residents receive top-tier medical attention without the need to travel far from home.
PCH continually invests in advanced medical technology to enhance patient care. A notable example is the introduction of the Heart Smart CT scan—a non-invasive, 15-minute procedure designed to detect coronary artery disease at an early stage. This proactive approach to heart health underscores the hospital’s dedication to preventive care and early intervention.
The hospital’s unwavering commitment to quality has not gone unnoticed. In 2022, PCH’s Surgical Department received the CNOR Strong Award from the Competency and Credentialing Institute (CCI). This national recognition highlights the department’s dedication to nursing excellence and patient safety, with over 50% of the surgical nursing staff holding Certified Perioperative Nurse (CNOR) credentials.
Beyond clinical services, PCH actively fosters community engagement and education. The hospital publishes the “Hometown Health Magazine,” a resource aimed at informing residents about health topics, hospital services, and wellness initiatives. Additionally, PCH hosts events like the annual Spring Health Fair, providing free health screenings and educational opportunities to the public.
Looking ahead, Paulding County Hospital remains steadfast in its vision to provide local access to high-quality, affordable healthcare services. By continuously enhancing its facilities, expanding service offerings, and upholding a patient-centered philosophy, PCH stands as a testament to the profound impact a small county hospital can have on the health and well-being of its community.
In essence, Paulding County Hospital embodies the perfect blend of advanced medical care and personalized attention, ensuring that residents of Paulding and surrounding areas receive the best possible healthcare experience right in their own backyard.
The Marketing/Community Relations Coordinator, Naomi Nicely stated, “Paulding County Hospital provides a variety of services to meet the needs of our community, close to home.
