Broward Health A Medical Lourdes?
"All better and feelin' just great !"
At Broward Health:
"Powerful Medicine”
Seen As Miracle!
"World Class” hospital care enables Broward
Health hospitals to reduce the average length of
stay for uninsured inpatients by 23% during past
ten years – a reduction more than ten times
greater than paying patients!
What's more, thanks to Broward Health's
brand of “Powerful Medicine, the average
uninsured patient is back on the street more
than a day sooner than a paying patient.
"Clearly, what we're dealing with here at
the North Broward Hospital District is nothing
short of a modern day medical miracle equal
to Lourdes,” says Father Ben Dover, of Our
Lady of Perpetual Collections and a Broward
Health Chaplain
"Some days, it's like Our Lord and Savior is
handling our uninsured patient releases."
