These HealthONE hospitals earned the distinction of Top Performer on Key Quality Measures for attaining and sustaining excellence in accountability measure performance.

"This is a distinction we are incredibly proud of," said Sylvia Young, CEO of HealthONE and HCA's Continental Division, "because it validates our commitment to improving the quality of life, every day through the work we do at our hospitals. The Joint Commission distinction is a testament to the efforts of our physicians and staff that provide the highest level of care and service to our patients."
This is the fourth year that The Joint Commission has recognized hospitals with this distinction, and North Suburban Medical Center and Rose Medical Center have each been honored every year of the program. This is the second year that The Medical Center of Aurora has been recognized.
