Message from the CEO

Jim Pernau

CEO

What do you expect most from your hospital – a caring staff, reasonable costs, competent physicians, modern equipment, prompt response to emergencies, a demonstrated concern for the patient’s welfare? At Edgerton Hospital and Health Services, we think all of these factors are important.

Many people tend to take their health for granted and don’t think about available health care resources until a medical emergency arises. Well, you can take some comfort in the knowledge that our staff and physicians spend a great deal of time and energy planning to meet your health care needs. After all, this is their community, too, and they want to offer the best medical and emergency care possible for their family and friends that may have need of our services.

We may be small, but we’re capable of handling just about any emergency situation that may arise. We’re proud of our record of superior quality, efficient service, friendly caring staff and low cost of care. We are pleased that our patients continually praise the competence and caring attitudes of our nursing staff and physicians.

We are more than just a hospital. Our services include a stellar cardiac services department, rehab therapy, surgery, a variety of community education classes, among others. We even have a satellite physician's office in Milton, which is run by our Chief of Staff, Dr. William West. Our hospital and clinic are staffed by people who care for you and about you. That’s why our system works so well. It’s all about people – people with caring hearts, people with a purpose.

As a community hospital, we thrive on your praise and support. We recognize our responsibility to provide you with the best health care available and I am proud to report that our staff delivers on that promise every day. So when you or your loved ones need a hospital, you can count on us! We’re here when you need us.
