CHEROKEE REGIONAL HOSPICE EARNS NATIONAL RECOGNITION
CHEROKEE, Iowa – Cherokee Regional Medical Center (Cherokee Regional) is proud to announce that Cherokee Regional Hospice has been recognized by Strategic Healthcare Programs (SHP) as a “Premier Performer” for achieving an overall caregiver and family satisfaction score that ranked in the top 5 percent of all eligible SHP clients for the 2022 calendar year.
“When you are passionate about your work, it shows in surveys like this,” says Tonya Oolman, Cherokee Regional Hospice Manager. “It means a lot to us that our patients and caregivers are very satisfied with the care they received and that they would recommend our agency to others who need support at the end of life.”
The annual SHPBest™ award program was created to acknowledge hospice providers that consistently provide high quality service to families and caregivers of patients receiving hospice care. The 2022 award recipients were determined by reviewing and ranking the overall CAHPS Hospice survey satisfaction score for more than 1,750 hospice providers. With one of the largest CAHPS Hospice benchmarks in the nation, SHP is in a unique position to identify and recognize organizations that have made family and caregiver satisfaction a priority and have been rewarded for their efforts with high marks on the CAHPS Hospice survey.
“SHP is very excited to have the opportunity to recognize the hard work and dedication of our top-performing customers with the annual SHPBest awards. We commend these organizations for their determination to provide top-notch care to the patients and caregivers that they serve”, said Kevin Vogel, President of SHP.
