At first glance, the cost of hospital care may appear to be high. Most people, however, do not realize that, unlike other businesses, hospitals must provide services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

In considering the cost of care, it is important to remember that a hospital's charges include room facilities, the availability of modern, life-sustaining equipment, three carefully prepared meals a day, drinks and snacks, skilled nursing care, and the services of technicians, pharmacists, and countless other employees who work behind the scenes to carry out the treatment prescribed by a patient's physician.

Be assured that Danville Regional Medical Center constantly strives to provide the highest quality patient care possible in a cost effective manner.
