Cater to the patient: SJMC’s approach to health care

When you’re in the hospital, you’re probably not thinking about who owns it. But for some patients and their families, it makes a difference. "My husband’s in intensive care right now," Lou Stone said. "We’ve never been at a hospital that’s treated people so well." The hospital she’s talking about is St. Josephs, and it’s owned by the physicians themselves. Dave Fehling of KHOU News 11 reports on the success of St. Joseph Medical Center's patient oriented care.
