Safety Every Day: Honoring Patient Safety Awareness Week

At Bayhealth, patient safety is at the core of everything we do—not just during Patient Safety Awareness Week, March 9-15, but every single day. This national observance, themed “Partnering for Safety,” reminds us to keep safety top of mind as we care for our community across central and southern Delaware. This week was a chance to reflect on the practices that make Bayhealth a trusted place for care.

Our teams are always focused on essentials like clear communication, infection prevention and medication accuracy—habits that protect our patients and give families peace of mind. “As a High Reliability Organization, we’re committed to constant improvement, working hand-in-hand with patients and their loved ones to ensure the best outcomes,” said Bayhealth Vice President, Quality and Medical Affairs John Fink, MD.

We encourage you to stay engaged in your care—ask questions, share concerns and partner with us.

Patient Safety Awareness Week may come once a year, but at Bayhealth, it’s a year-round mission. Learn more about the services we offer at Bayhealth.org.
