Quality Week observed by Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers

HONESDALE - The week of October 18th - 24th marked National Healthcare Quality Week. Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers (WMCHC), a network of physician offices offering primary care and specialty services throughout Wayne, Pike and Lackawanna Counties, will be joining healthcare organizations around the nation in celebration.
    “WMCHC is committed to meeting patient needs and providing high quality of care,” stated Norma Nocilla, BS, LPN, CPHQ, director of quality, WMCHC.

    WMCHC’s resolve to meet the needs of patients across a rural service area is evidenced by the growth it has experienced within as little as three years’ time. Outreach to the community included the addition of new office locations as well as an increase in specialty services.

    “Over the past few years, we have expanded services in Pike County to include dental and behavioral health,” said Nocilla. “Additionally, we’ve added the Honesdale VA Outpatient Clinic, seven day-a-week primary care in Hamlin and most recently brought on cardiology services in Honesdale.”

    WMCHC will be commemorating Healthcare Quality Week with gifts for office staff, completion of “Quality Quizzes” and displaying brightly colored posters proclaiming the national observance in all 14 of its offices.

    National Healthcare Quality Week is sponsored by the National Association for Healthcare Quality with the goal of increasing the awareness of quality healthcare programs and strengthening staff, community and patient relations.

    WMCHC offers primary care, women’s health, pediatric, behavioral health and dental services as well as general surgery, cardiology, pulmonary and sleep medicine. WMCHC is clinically affiliated with Wayne Memorial Health System, Inc.
