For Our Neighbors

The Miriam Hospital is committed to being a good neighbor.

In 2004, we created the department of community relations to carry out this task. Community relations at The Miriam Hospital follows an approach called the 3-Bs, that is, to Build our relationship with neighbors, to utilize our resources to Better the community, and to Balance conflicts and concerns as they occur. A brief outline of activities in each of the 3-Bs is as follows:

Building our Relationship, through regular communication.

This includes:

• Newsletters and notifications to neighbors
• The Neighborhood Hotline
• Attendance and regular participation in neighborhood events

Bettering the Community, through sharing of resources.

• $90,000 in Miriam Community Investment Grants are awarded to neighborhood agencies each year
• An Annual Food Drive Benefits agencies in Summit and Mt. Hope
• The Miriam supports the Annual Holiday “Needs” Drive

Balancing Conflicts, by representing neighborhood concerns.

Our community liaison serves on internal committees that make decisions that can affect the quality of life for neighbors. These committees include:

• Parking Committee
• Tobacco-Free Committee
• Green Team
