HSHS St. Vincent Hospital Among America’s Best Hospitals to Have a Baby
Green Bay – HSHS St. Vincent Hospital has received the 2015 Women’s Choice Award® as an America’s Best Hospitals for Obstetrics. This evidence-based designation is the only award that identifies the country’s best health care institutions based on robust criteria that consider female patient satisfaction, clinical excellence, and what women say they want from a hospital.
The list of more than 350 award winners represents hospitals, including HSHS St. Vincent Hospital, that women can feel confident in choosing for their maternity needs.
“We are incredibly grateful for the physicians, nurses and entire team that made this award possible,” said Therese Pandl, CEO of Hospital Sisters Health System-Eastern Wisconsin Division, which includes HSHS St. Vincent Hospital. “It is a reflection of their commitment to safety, quality, efficiency and the experience for our patients; as well as demonstration of their dedication to this healing ministry.”
“New moms have many choices when it comes to obstetrics. Now they can make informed decisions based on the recommendations of other moms who have experienced that hospital first hand,” said Delia Passi, CEO and Founder of the Women’s Choice Award, and former publisher of Working Woman and Working Mother magazines. “Most importantly, when a woman sees the Women’s Choice Award at her local hospital, she’ll know the hospital values her experience as a critical component of care for her and her loved ones,” added Passi.
The America’s Best Hospitals for Obstetrics scoring process is unique in that it is the only national list that focuses on female patient satisfaction. Only the hospitals who qualify for this highly selective designation provide the highest level of obstetric services based on their exceptional scores for patient recommendation, as provided by data reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) surveys, as well as an analysis that weighs criteria identified as the most important to women for patient satisfaction, including early elective deliveries.
