Mission Hospital patients and their families now have access to an on-site concierge service provided by Cincinnati-based Best Upon Request to help reduce the stress associated with being a hospital guest. The complimentary concierge service is available to assist with making special arrangements for visitors, food requests, personal errand-running and more.

Bastone, president and chief executive officer of Mission Hospital. “Through our partnership with Best Upon Request, patients and their families have the benefit of a personal concierge to take care of the little things that make a patient’s stay more comfortable.”

Our partnership with Mission Hospital is a testament to their mission of improving the quality of life of people in the community they serve.”
