CMH Receives Governor's Award
Cheboygan Memorial Hospital has received the 2007 Governor's Award for Improving Patient Safety and Quality of Care in the Hospital Setting. CMH received the accolade for improving patient care in the following areas: Appropriate Care Measure Award and Surgical Improvement Project Award. "Award recipients are committed to providing Michigan citizens with high quality health care," said Governor Jennifer M. Granholm. Award criterion aligns with improving care in a number of clinical areas. CMH was able to choose from pre-selected clinical areas. These clinical areas are designated as national health care priorities by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. CMH then established a multidisciplinary team to spearhead improvement measures using proven, evidence-based practices. "Together, our staff is demonstrating that we are providing the very best in medical treatment and care - the right care, each and every time. Our efforts have been enhanced through our collaborations with MPRO, Michigan's Medicare Quality Improvement Organization," said Barbara Cliff, President and CEO of Cheboygan Memorial Hospital. The Governor and MPRO have partnered since 2003 to honor hospitals for their efforts to embrace best practices to improve systems and health outcomes. This marks fourth year in a row that CMH has received the Governor's Award of Excellence. MPRO and the Governor honored CMH at an award ceremony on October 29, 2008, at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Kalamazoo. Catherine Zimmerman, D.O. accepted the award on behalf of CMH.
