Guest Services Concierge
As a Hospital Concierge at Good Samaritan Hospital, you will be the welcoming face of TriHealth, creating a positive first impression for patients, families, and visitors from the moment they arrive. In this highly visible role, you'll provide exceptional customer service by offering directions, answering questions, assisting with wayfinding, and helping ensure a smooth and compassionate experience throughout the hospital. If you enjoy connecting with people, making a meaningful difference in someone's day, and being part of a team dedicated to delivering exceptional patient-centered care, this is an opportunity to serve your community while working in a supportive and mission-driven environment.
About the role
The Hospital Concierge plays a vital role in enhancing the overall patient experience by providing compassionate, on-demand support that addresses nonclinical needs for patients, families, and guests. Working in inpatient units or the Emergency Department, the Concierge serves as a welcoming and helpful presence, ensuring that every interaction contributes to comfort, ease, and a positive hospital experience.
Concierge responsibilities include rounding on patients and guests, offering comfort items, and providing nonclinical support such as wayfinding, gathering supplies, or coordinating services with volunteer teams. The Concierge may run errands on behalf of patients and care teams—such as picking up prescriptions for those being discharged—and may assist with safe patient flow by escorting or transporting patients to the lobby at discharge. Additionally, the Concierge provides information about hospital amenities and local resources, including nearby stores and restaurants. They also support broader patient experience initiatives, which may include conducting discharge follow-up phone calls to ensure a smooth transition of care.
The Concierge reports to the Regional Manager of Patient Experience.
