The quality of our people and professional relationships has gained us a national reputation for excellence based on a hospital-wide commitment to outstanding patient care. Good Samaritan Hospital offers prestige, satisfaction, enrichment—and fun. Hospital staff are regularly treated to special events, including ice cream socials, holiday dinners and staff appreciation ceremonies all held on-campus in what has been described as a small city in itself. The description is an apt one, with Good Samaritan housing an on-site childcare center, credit union and fitness center.
