Southwoods Hospital Earns Excellence Award
BOARDMAN, Ohio -- The Surgical Hospital at Southwoods has been named a 2013 Guardian of Excellence Award winner by Press Ganey Associates Inc., Southwoods CEO Ed Muransky announces. The award recognizes top-performing hospitals and clinics that consistently achieve the 95th percentile of performance in patient satisfaction.
It is a health-care industry symbol of achievement, Press Haney says. Fewer than 5% of all Press Ganey clients reach this threshold and maintain it a year. Southwoods has done so for four consecutive years. Press Ganey partners with more than 10,000 health care sites, including more than half of all U.S. hospitals, to measure patients’ experiences.
“Achieving this level of excellence reflects their dedication to our organization and their ongoing commitment to delivering outstanding service and care to our patients," Muransky said in a prepared statement. "This award is further evidence that today’s health-care consumer places tremendous value not only the overall quality of health-care services, but being treated in a kind and compassionate manner by their caregivers.”
