Penn Medicine's Chester County Hospital : Magnet

In November of 2014, Penn Medicine's Chester County Hospital joined the select group of Magnet hospitals.  This is recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, widely regarded as the highest mark of excellence a hospital can receive for nursing quality. "Magnet hospitals have better patient outcomes, higher quality, and greater satisfaction among patients and nurses alike (p. 5)" being minutes away from a hospital that holds such importance on our community is something to appreciate.

All images were exposed with available light and as candidly as possible considering. We covered nearly every departed and nurses station in the hospital. I  was inspired and impressed by the professionalism, warmth and team sprit shown by every nurse I encountered.

Catheterization Lab : Chester County Hospital

Chester County Hospital, which is a part of Penn Medicine, recently renovated one catheterization lab and is in the process of upgrading a second, enhancing them with advanced X-ray equipment for superb clarity of the heart while exposing the patient to minimal radiation. The clean uncluttered design of the room allows for flexibility to perform multiple types of electrophysiology and cardiovascular procedures. In these photographs, you can sense the cleanliness of the area and the fine detail of this new piece of equipment, to better serve the patients of Chester County Hospital.
