About Us

Philosophy

Our services are based on our belief that it is our responsibility to provide the highest quality of care possible to the community. We promote patient wellness and encourage patients with diabetes to increase their understanding of the disease and appropriately and successfully manage it.

Our Diabetes Services benefit patients by:

•Offering the convenience of a hospital setting
•Allowing patients to cooperate in their own care under the continued direction from their personal physician
•Encouraging self-care
•Providing quality care in a cost-effective manner

Successful management of diabetes is not possible without a firm knowledge base. https://nationgesundheit.de/vidalista-online-und-ohne-rezept/

Objectives

•To provide a multidisciplinary outpatient program for patients who require continuing diabetes education after or instead of hospitalization.
•To maintain the same high quality care as that for inpatients and to do so in a cost- effective manner.
•To maintain a safe environment for patients and their families.
•To provide and maintain a warm and comfortable environment, to reduce stress and anxiety while providing educational programs.
•To increase patients' knowledge of the principles of management and self-care of diabetes.
•To demonstrate St. Michael Hospital's quality caring in the community.
•To promote Covenant Healthcare's mission of human and community development.
