Kingman, Arizona, November 25, 2019 –Kingman Regional Medical Center (KRMC) is pleased to announce that its Cancer Center has been named a 2019 Guardian of Excellence Award winner byPress Ganey. The Guardian of Excellence Award recognizes top-performing health care organizations that have achieved the 95th percentile or above in patient experience.
The Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award is a nationally-recognized symbol of achievement in health care. Presented annually, the award honors clients who consistently sustained performance in the top 5% of more than 41,000 Press Ganey clients for each reporting period during the past year.
Interim Director of the KRMC Cancer Center, Brian Brady was presented the award on November 18th at Press Ganey’s 2019 National Client & Executive Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida.
According to Brady, the award is significant because it is based on actual patient feedback. For four consecutive quarters, KRMC Cancer Center patients rated their experience higher than 95% of patients at thousands of healthcare institutions nationwide.
“This is tremendously hard to accomplish,” states Brady. “If we had fallen even one point below the top 5% in any one of those quarters, we would have been ineligible for the award.”
According to Brian Turney, KRMC CEO, the award represents an important recognition from the industry’s leader in measuring, understanding, and improving the delivery of care.
“I credit the professionalism, dedication, and compassion of our cancer-care team,” said Turney. “Every single team member― from office staff to technicians, nurses, and doctors― is extremely caring and consistently goes above and beyond to assure our patients’ wellbeing during cancer treatment. All are highly deserving of this honor.”
