Care is answering concerns and easing the minds of loved ones at any age or stage in life.

And explaining when his dad will be as strong as a monster truck.

-Brandy, RN

It’s a symbol of our strength and commitment to every one of our patients as a dedicated partner on their road to recovery. Because PromiseCare is a shoulder to lean on, a bedside manner that speaks from the heart, not a script. PromiseCare implements the most sophisticated technology and procedures, but also wields the caring qualities of courtesy, empathy, understanding and compassion. PromiseCare upholds the values of dignity and healing.

And our promise is not an empty one. PromiseCare is manifest, as Columbus Regional joins the top 14% of hospitals nationally by meeting Te Joint Commission’s standards of quality for using clinical processes that are shown to improve care. We PROMISE to continue improving our care so that every patient knows great care is well within reach.

Well within reach.

Vineland Tuesday & Thursday Noon-4 pm Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the Station boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
