WHEN I AM ASKED
about
Ashtabula County Medical Center
(ACMC) Healthcare System, I’m
not asked about the buildings or
the latest piece of technology.
People want to know about our
caregivers—their personalities,
their abilities, their compassion.
That tells me people don’t
necessarily see our organization
as a thing or an “it.” They see
ACMC as the people who work
there.
We remind our caregivers
that they are the face of ACMC
Healthcare System. From the time
someone walks in the door, the
essence of ACMC is on display. We
convey a message to that patient
through our faces, our body
language and in every way we care
for them. Every encounter is an
opportunity for us to show patients
and visitors that we consider their
health and comfort our top priority.
Our broad reach
We are 1,300 physicians, nurse
practitioners, physician assistants,
nurses and nonclinical caregivers
who work across northeast Ohio
and northwest Pennsylvania. That
comes as a surprise to most people,
who think of ACMC Healthcare
System as “just” the hospital in
Ashtabula. But we are much more
than that.
ACMC Healthcare System is
composed of the hospital; ACMC
Foundation; Ashtabula Regional
Home Health; Glenbeigh; and, in
part, Community Care Ambulance
Network.
Serving our community
When you look at a map of where
our caregivers live, the majority
live in Ashtabula County. Others
live near Glenbeigh’s outpatient
treatment centers in Beachwood,
Niles, Erie, Rocky River, Canton and
Toledo.
I think that’s important to note,
because it means we live, shop, go to
church, perform community service
and raise our families in those same
communities.
When we treat patients at ACMC,
we are treating our friends and
neighbors.
Two stories within this issue
of
Pulse
showcase the impact we
have on Ashtabula County. One
highlights our commitment to
bringing the best physicians and
technology here. The other describes
our economic impact on Ashtabula
County.
I’m proud of the financial and
social impact we have on Ashtabula
County.
That’s one reason I cringe when
someone tells me they chose or were
directed to seek healthcare outside
of Ashtabula County when those
services are available close to home.
You do not have to drive far for the
healthcare you need. We have more
than 100 physicians within the ACMC
Healthcare System that see patients
