"Being for Others" Puts Us in the Top 5% in the Nation. What does it take for a hospital to be ranked among the top 5% in the nation in patient safety and patient experience? It takes a team of dedicated staff who know that "Being for Others" is what being in health care is all about. Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center is one of the top 5% of hospitals nationwide to receive the 2012 Patient Safety Excellence Award from HealthGrades® , an independent company that develops quality ratings of health care providers. In addition, HealthGrades® named Memorial Hospital as one of the top 5% of hospitals to receive the 2012 Outstanding Patient Experience Award. Only 47 hospitals in America received both of these honors. Why does this recognition mean so much to us? We believe these awards are great reminders of our mission to "Be for Others" and the importance of providing compassionate, safe, reassuring health care to our patients. We thank our 1,426 employees and 170 Medical Staff members for all they've done to achieve these honors, and more importantly, for going the extra mile to share their spirit Respect for Human Dignity • Qual ity • Justice • Stewardship • Compassionate Caring of "Being for Others." And, to the people of southwestern Indiana who consider us "their hospital" … thank you for trusting Memorial Hospital to provide the medical care you need. It is an honor to serve you!
