Carelosophy

Hospital CIMA has adopted a philosophy of care we call Carelosophy. There are three elements that make up Carelosophy: 360-degree vision, empathy and commitment.   First, 360-degree vision emphasizes seeing what takes place in every aspect of our patients' care from the moment they enter the doors until they leave for home. We are involved in and concerned about every detail of your health care experience, from administrative services through your medical care to the ways we provide emotional support. Next, we are empathetic and care about and for every patient, give warm service and work to inspire trust. It’s more than that, though. We seek to create relationships, because we know that people who are genuinely connected achieve more than they can alone. Because we develop close relationships with our patients and their families, we are memorable. We want you to think of us each time you need medical care.  Finally, we are committed. We understand that a unique healthcare setting cannot be built by indifferent people.  Being truly unique in ways that makes a difference in people’s lives requires teamwork and focus. Our attention to the elements of Carelosophy drives us every day to be the best hospital for you, your family and others about whom you care. Learn about our services
