-Memorial Medical Center?s Emergency Department has won a very special award.MMC?s Emergency Department joins an elite group, 241 out of more than 5,000 hospitals in the United States, to be recognized as ?one of the very best emergency departments in the nation? according to CMS data and as recognized by the 2014 Women?s Choice Award.
In an award notification letter from the Women?s Choice Awards, provided to me by Interim CEO of MMC David Baltzer, it indicates that MMC was chosen after an analysis of the data hospitals submitted to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services regarding emergency department performance.
The letter continues saying MMC was, ?awarded because you ranked highly on the measures women feel are most important in emergency care.?
