  • (1888PressRelease) February 10, 2017 - Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian today announced it has received the 2017 Women's Choice Award® as one of America's Best Hospitals for Heart Care and Obstetrics. This is the fourth consecutive year (2014 - 2017) that Hoag has received these awards in Heart Care and Obstetrics.

    "Our commitment to providing an unsurpassed level of personalized care to the community we serve starts with the dedicated physicians, nurses and staff on our team, and we are proud to know that our patients experience that when they come to Hoag."

    This evidence-based designation is the only award that identifies the country's best health care institutions based on robust criteria that consider female patient satisfaction, clinical excellence, and what women say they want from a hospital.

    "It speaks volumes to receive such a prestigious award based in part on feedback from our female patients," said Allyson M. Brooks, M.D., chief quality officer at Hoag, and the Ginny Ueberroth Executive Medical Director Endowed Chair, Hoag Women's Health Institute. "Recognizing the special health care needs of women throughout their lives, Hoag delivers specialized care for women of all ages and life stages."

    The America's Best Hospitals scoring process is unique in that it combines national accreditations, Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey results and hospital outcome scores with primary research about women's healthcare preferences.

    "Our award gives a woman the confidence that her choice of a hospital will be the best in terms of quality care and patient safety for her and her family's health care needs. We honor Hoag for being named and recognized as one of America's Best Hospitals for Heart Care and Obstetrics," said Delia Passi, Founder and CEO of the Women's Choice Award.
