Clara Maass Medical Center Observation Report

One of the agencies that I had the opportunity of observing this semester was Clara Maass Medical Center, located in Belleville, NJ. The mission statement of this facility is to support the Medical Center’s promise to deliver high quality, compassionate healthcare, and to improve the health and well-being of the communities it serves. The medical center serves the local community with their medical needs and emergencies. The center has several departments, including same day surgery which is where I spend most of my time.
The hospital is conveniently located between several towns and cities, making it beneficial in regards to travel time. The hospital is centered between houses and apartment buildings, making it easier for patients to take public transportation or even walk to the center. An important aspect of this medical center is that it serves a large part of the Newark community. Newark is an tremendously large city and it has one of the busiest hospitals, so Clara Maass hospital is able to help the neighboring hospital by providing medical care to patients. What I liked about the hospital is that they provide patients with a transport service. Regardless of where they live whether is it near or far the hospital provides them with transportation because they understand their needs and strive for safety.

It is funded by the charge of services and by donations from people who have an affiliation with the center. Donations that are received by the hospital are used to purchase new medical equipment and to renovate difficult departments. Although the hospital is trying to make improvements to its appearance, many visitors get upset because they can’t get around as easily. A suggestion that I have for this issue is the installation of more map in the halls. This would improve the mobility of the visitors and patients, to get to their destination
