<p>I would like to personally welcome you to the North Valley Hospital website.&nbsp; We might be a small facility, but we have great things happening here.&nbsp; Our focus is &ldquo;Growing Healthcare Close to Home&rdquo; and to that end, we are continually evaluating our services for improvements and additional services to meet the communities ever changing needs.</p>
<p>At North Valley we value service as well as skill, and each employee works to provide exceedingly high service to patients, family, and visitors.&nbsp; Below you can see our Culture Map that outlines the expectations for service.&nbsp; Each and every employee has attended a 3 hour class on why customer service is so important at North Valley, and the accountabilities they all share in that culture.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>We are currently remodeling our 2<sup>nd</sup> floor to better accommodate the Tonasket Family Medical Clinic and provide more space for our visiting specialists.&nbsp; After that is completed we will begin the remodel of the 1<sup>st</sup> floor in the older area of the hospital, which will contain a gift shop run by our Guild, Radiology (x-ray), CT Scans, Ultrasound, and the Laboratory.</p>
<p>In order to continue our growth and serve our communities, we are in extreme need of more surgical and rehabilitation space. &nbsp;As we look forward to 2012, we are planning the completion of the basement of the new addition.&nbsp; The basement holds enough space for new surgical suites and an expansion of our Rehabilitation Services (physical and occupational therapy).&nbsp;</p>
<p>We invite you to visit with us and experience North Valley Hospital for yourself.&nbsp; We view your input regarding our patient services and our service culture as the most valuable tool in our success.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Kindly,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
