ECU Health is thrilled to celebrate the winners of the first annual Patient Choice Awards. These prestigious awards recognize teams that have the highest and most improved patient experience ratings in their care delivery category for “Creating a caring environment that helped me heal.” Hospitals also received awards for patient ratings in cleanliness and “Courtesy of a person who served me food.”
Throughout November, the Office of Experience traveled eastern North Carolina to host award ceremonies presenting the FY22 Patient Choice Awards. The winning teams were excited to be recognized by their patients, and leaders were so proud to celebrate this accomplishment with their teams!
One of the highest honors in health care is being recognized and appreciated by patients and families. The Patient Choice Award winners and finalists exemplify ECU Health’s mission and values through compassionate, human-centered care. Their patients have acknowledged the genuine impact of this care and of the loving environment they create every day.
