Each of these awards was made possible through the skills and dedication of our employees, medical staff and volunteers. They are the reason so many people turn to St. Luke’s for a healing touch, a comforting hand, and a lifelong commitment to caring.
In 2006, St. Luke’s was recognized as a national award
winner for Exceeding Patient
Expectations by Avatar International Inc. In making
the announcement, Avatar Founder and CEO, Dr. Michael Everett
said, "Your medical center is to
be commended for its focus on quality patient care. Customer
expectations form the basis for all service and quality judgements.
Patients only recommend a medial center or are loyal to that
medical center if their expectations were surpassed. By exceeding
patient expectations, your medical center surpasses this
essential benchmark."
