Mary Health of the Sick Hospital is staffed with a team of professionals who have adopted the Sisters' sacred mission of providing love, compassion, and quality care to all residents, regardless of their social class, race or illness.

The employees diligently strive to provide medical assistance to each resident in a home-like atmosphere of peace and harmony. Mary Health recognizes that the key to the success of the hospital is found in the quality of our employees.

Our nursing staff turnover is low and our ratio of nurses to residents is high. The average
day-shift ratio of Certified Nursing Assistants to residents is 1:5. These dedicated employees provide total resident care including grooming, bathing, toileting, ambulating and feeding those residents who can no longer feed themselves. Registered Nurses (RNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) administer medications and therapies, including pain management, respiratory treatments, skin treatments, oxygen therapy, intravenous fluids, gastrostomy, and foley tube care.

Mary Health has never used a nurse registry service. Since the convent is located on the grounds of the hospital, the Sisters are always available to fill in for lay staff absenteeism. This stability on the nursing floor provides for continuity of care. Three separate report times throughout the day for both licensed nurses and nursing assistants enables the nursing team to always have updated information regarding any changes in a resident's condition.

Each resident is given care based on her diagnosis and individual needs. An interdisciplinary team, consisting of members from all departments, assesses each resident upon admittance and every three months thereafter. Both the resident and her responsible party are invited to attend these assessment sessions.
