Cleveland VA Medical Center strives to always provide the highest quality of care to the veterans of our nation who call Cleveland home. We recognize there may be times when a patient or family member has an issue which requires our attention. Because the best time to let us know of any concern or question is at the time it happens — so we can resolve it as quickly as possible — we have established several programs to assist you.

Patient Feedback Tools

We also have a number of feedback tools for you to provide information about the care and service you receive. Please take the time to participate in and use these feedback tools. Our goal is to provide compassionate, quality care in a timely manner.

Quick cards

During your stay, you may receive a 'quick card'. This is a short patient satisfaction survey asking for feedback about your perception of the care you are receiving.

You may answer your quick card anonymously, or you may provide your name and contact information if you would like us to contact you about the resolution of any issues.

Patient Healthcare Survey

After your visit, you may receive a confidential questionnaire in the mail asking you about your most recent outpatient or inpatient treatment at our medical center.

Please use the survey to let us know of any concerns, complaints, or questions you have about your care, so that we can resolve them. We also appreciate compliments about what we are doing right.
