Dear
Friend,
In 1963, when Samuel Riddle, a noted sportsman and Delaware County
native, left in trust the land and financial support to build a hospital
to serve his community, our mission began.
Riddle Hospital embodies Mr. Riddle’s legacy,
providing the services and healthcare our community needs to take charge
of their health and make the right decisions for themselves and their
families. We are here when you need us.
We are setting the bar higher. Our superior care has been recognized by
The Joint Commission for Key Quality Measures for two years in a row.
The Joint Commission has also recognized us with the Gold Seal of
Approval for hip and knee replacements, and as a Certified Stroke
Center. The Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care has certified Riddle
as a Chest Pain Center, while our Comprehensive Breast Center has been
recognized by the National Accreditation Program of Breast Centers.
Due to the community's growing medical needs, Riddle
Hospital is set to launch a major expansion of our Emergency
Department (ED). Our ED treats more than 30,000 patients annually and we
take pride of our excellent patient satisfaction scores for these
services. The new ED is set to open in the Summer of 2014.
Riddle continues to be on the leading edge of patient care. As we have
for our entire history, Riddle Hospital aims to
provide excellent cardiology, orthopedic
and oncology services
to the community. Riddle Hospital’s heart program
provides patients a comprehensive continuum of heart care, from routine
through advanced life saving procedures. And we partner with the area’s
leading organizations to enhance our care right here in Media. This
includes services of the Rothman
Institute for Orthopaedics and oncology
services through a partnership with Jefferson University Hospital.
And, as part of Main Line Health, we can offer a wide
range of care beyond our backyard through our strong partnerships with Bryn
Mawr, Lankenau, Paoli and
Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospitals, as well as Mirmont
Treatment Center. Through this collaboration, Riddle
Hospital and Main Line Health can meet the
healthcare needs and improve the quality of life in the communities we
serve.
Riddle’s commitment to the health care of our community carries on
through our maternity care and a Level 2 NICU at The
Birthplace; advanced imaging and lab services;
a variety of rehab services and
a fully-equipped fitness center
in Health Center 4 – and many more outpatient services.
We thank you for choosing Riddle Hospital as we
continue our promise to provide a superior patient experience through a
culture of excellence among our physicians, nurses, staff and
volunteers.
And we do this every day.
Sincerely,
Gary L. Perecko
President, Riddle Hospital
