Patient & Family Advocacy
How Can We Help?
NMC’s Mission is to provide exceptional care for our community. We acknowledge that we do not always achieve exceptional care for every patient and we want to hear from our community about how we are doing, whether that feedback is a compliment or a concern.
The Patient Relations team, part of the Quality Department at NMC, is here to help resolve patient-related complaints. We can answer some questions you may have regarding care or direct you to the information you are seeking. We are here to listen and help.
