Always keeping up with latest technologies, Monongahela Valley Hospital recently implemented a similar type of security system in its registration areas — a secure patient identification system called SafeChx that will help register patients more quickly, prevent medical identity fraud and eliminate duplicate records.

Monongahela Valley Hospital is sponsoring a variety of informative programs in April. Many of the events will be held in the hospital’s Anthony M. Lombardi Education Conference Center (ECC) unless otherwise noted.
