Spectrum Health United Memorial is proud to announce that Press Ganey Associates, Inc. has named it a 2010 Best Place to Practice Award Winner. Selected from more than 10, 0000 healthcare facilities, Spectrum Health United Memorial is one of just four Press Ganey client facilities to receive this national award. Press Ganey partners with health care facilities to measure and improve the quality of their care. The company’s databases are the largest in the industry, and allow facilities nationwide to benchmark their results against peer organizations. The Best Place to Practice Award recognizes clients who have reached and sustained the 95th percentile on their physician surveys. “It is extremely gratifying for our hospitals to receive this award, knowing that it is the result of our physicians’ feedback on the partnership we’ve worked hard to establish. We are so fortunate to work with such a talented group of medical staff and are honored to partner with them in current and future growth opportunities,” commented Paul Bonis, President, Spectrum Health United Memorial. Spectrum Health United Memorial was selected due to their dedication to continually developing and maintaining world-class relationships with medical staff through ongoing, meaningful communications in both group settings and on an individual basis. In addition, medical staff members are engaged in strategic decisions for both hospitals, by integrating physicians into key planning and operational committees. Spectrum Health United Memorial believes that the physicians that partner with us are ambassadors both within our hospitals as well as in the local communities. They are visible advocates, educating and donating their time and resources to causes and events that help our hospitals and the communities we serve. Spectrum Health United Memorial is committed to providing excellent personal care and service through state-of-the-art technology and qualified, caring staff at Kelsey Hospital in Lakeview and United Hospital in Greenville.
