Quality Services

In an effort to be transparent about our level of care, Alliance Community Hospital offers patients, visitors and the general public an opportunity to view the most recent data available on some of our quality practices.  Below, please find links for various Community Reports on topics such as Pneumonia, Heart Attack and Congestive Heart Failure, which provide downloadable versions of PDF documentation detailing ACH’s standing in various areas of these healthcare services, as compared with state and national benchmarks.  We invite you to view these documents, which were compiled through information provided by the Ohio Hospital Association.  Here at ACH, we are on an unending quest to improve our quality of care.
