Relations

Welcome to our Patient Relations page! Your feedback is valuable to us, driving our continuous efforts to provide exceptional care. Our aim is to create a partnership built on trust and respect, where open communication is encouraged. Whether you have questions, concerns, or simply want to share your experience, this platform serves as a bridge between you and our dedicated team.  We are committed to ensuring every interaction leaves you feeling heard, valued, and empowered on your journey to optimal health and wellness.

We ask patients or families who have concerns, complaints, or recommendations for change to follow the process described below. These steps ensure patients with the opportunity to have their concerns rapidly addressed by staff members who are most familiar with their care.

Please speak with the members of your healthcare team first. Usually, they can quickly resolve most issues. If your healthcare team is unable to assist, please ask for a supervisor or manager. Our goal is to resolve your concern before you leave the hospital.

If you are not satisfied with the response you have received from your healthcare team, supervisor, or manager you may call our Risk Manager at (541) 269-8100. You also may send a written concern to: Risk Management Bay Area Hospital 1775 Thompson Road Coos Bay, OR 97420.

For complaints the organization recognizes as significant, you will be notified of receipt and notified of follow up.
