LewisGale Hospital Pulaski recently held an awards ceremony to honor 51 of its staff members for their hard work, dedication and years of service.
Recipients of the 2012 Employee Service Awards represented almost all of the hospital’s departments and services, and combined, have served the hospital and its patients for 755 years. Each of the employees had reached an important milestone in their years of service.
“The dedication of our employees and their commitment to excellence in patient care is one of the main reasons our hospital continues to garner national recognition for high-quality care,” said Mark Nichols, chief executive officer of LewisGale Hospital Pulaski. “I’m proud of our employees and feel honored to lead such a great group of people.”
Nichols credited the employees for helping the hospital attain significant quality achievements. For the second year in a row, The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health-care organizations in the U.S., recognized LewisGale Hospital Pulaski as one of the nation’s top performers on key quality measures for heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care. Only 244 U.S. hospitals achieved this distinction both in 2011 and 2012.
