The SARH Board of Directors felt it was imperative that the hospital receives ongoing feedback from our community relative to the hospital. The new SARH Advisory Board will allow community members to share their experiences at the hospital, either as a patient or a family member of a patient. The goal is to have a robust and meaningful board that provides input to allow our hospital to continuously improve on the care we provide.
