Programs: Blue ridge regional hospital believes that patient and family-centered care is the best approach to meeting our patients' healthcare needs. Patient and family-centered care means patients, their families, doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals form a partnership that benefits everyone. A family member is recognized as anyone who patients regard as significant in their lives. Families are not considered visitors, but essential participants in care and decisions that affect the total healing of the patient. The components of family-centered care are respect and dignity; information sharing; and participation and collaboration. The goal in caring for patients at blue ridge regional hospital is the same for physicians, medical staff and families to provide the best care and outcome for the patient. It takes a combination of modern medicine, compassionate care, advanced technology, dedicated staff, as well as care provided by families to reach the best possible outcome. The staff at blue ridge regional hospital is dedicated to creating this type of experience for every patient and family member who enters our doors.
