Patients Concerns, Grievances & Compliments
Consistent with our mission and values, Beverly Hospital supports the assurance of patient rights to each patient. You have the right to file a complaint/grievance with the hospital. Your concerns as a patient are very important to us. Any member of the healthcare team can receive a grievance or complaint.
You may request information about the formal grievance process from the unit Director. The report will then be followed up by their director/manager or patient safety officer as appropriate. All issues will be handled in a timely manner. You may contact the Nursing Office at ext. 4216 or the Quality Department at ext. 5038. Our desire is to work together with you to resolve any issues regarding the care or service.
Issues that cannot be resolved through our suggested level may be forwarded to our Administrative Offices at (323) 725-4257 or (323) 725-4378 or mailed to:
