Quality of Care and Patient Safety

Welcome to Norwalk Hospital’s quality of care and patient safety web pages.

The mission of Norwalk Hospital is to provide uniquely excellent, innovative and compassionate healthcare with exceptional outcomes.

Fundamental to this commitment to the Hospital’s patients and community is a focus on quality of care and patient safety. Over the years, Norwalk Hospital has been a leader in developing and instituting a comprehensive and effective quality and patient safety program. This instrumental program involves physicians, direct patient care and ancillary staff and is based on one goal – to provide the highest quality, nationally accepted standards of care in a safe and compassionate manner.

Our commitment to providing high-quality and safe healthcare is nationally recognized. In 2010, Norwalk Hospital was awarded the HealthGrades Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence™. This award recognizes the top five percent of hospitals in the country. These hospitals had statistically significantly lower risk-adjusted mortality and lower inhospital complications than all other hospitals, according to HealthGrades®, a leading, independent healthcare rating organization.
