From our weekly staff meeting to our continuous quality improvement program, we embrace these proven medical methodologies in everything we do. Our medical board has selected our physicians and specialist staff and they have the highest medical training available with excellent credentials and the longest proven experience in their fields.
Our physicians and nurses have continuous medical education. In fact, at BALBOA HOSPITAL & WALK-IN CLINIC, we also help to train other physicians. We teach courses for emergency medical service professionals as well.
Our paramedic’s staff teaches other tourism enterprise employees how to identify emergency situations and how to assist tour visitors.
Finally, we monitor patient satisfaction surveys, and our staff has many thank-you letters from patients that were successfully treated at BALBOA HOSPITAL & WALK-IN CLINIC. We have also received many letters from our patients once they have returned home giving us excellent comments from their primary care doctors regarding our diagnostics and clinical treatment.
