Five Adventist Health Facilities Win Awards of Excellence
Feather River Hospital, White Memorial Medical Center and the Central Valley hospitals were recently recognized for excellence by the 2008 California Awards for Performance Excellence (CAPE). Administered by the California Council for Excellence (CCE), this recognition for quality is the State of California’s equivalent to the national Malcolm Baldrige Quality award.
FRH won the highest honor, the Gold Eureka award. FRH was the sole gold recipient this year, and only the second hospital—the first within Adventist Health—to achieve this high honor.
WMMC nabbed a Silver level award and Hanford Community Medical Center, Central Valley General Hospital and Selma Community Hospital collectively won bronze.
In earning these awards, our hospitals are joining the distinguished ranks of other top-performing businesses in California by demonstrating excellent performance in the following areas: Leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, measurement and knowledge management, human resources, process management and business results.
“The CAPE awards exemplify our hospitals’ commitment to the mission of Adventist Health and the goal of being recognized leaders in quality care,” said Bob Carmen, president and CEO of Adventist Health. “The teams at FRH, WMMC and in the Central Valley have worked very hard during the past months and years to achieve these honors, and Adventist Health is very proud.”
