Terrebonne General Named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Emergency Care and Patient Safety.

Terrebonne General Health System has been named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Patient Safety and Emergency Care by the Women’s Choice Award^®, America’s trusted referral source for the best in healthcare and meeting the highest healthcare standards. These prestigious awards recognize Terrebonne General for being one of the top hospitals in the nation that have demonstrated the highest level of quality care to their patients, with a special focus on the female experience. Terrebonne General ranked above the national average in patient experience, patient safety, and quality.

"Receiving recognition in these two categories highlights our team’s dedication to providing the safest, highest-quality care and exceptional patient satisfaction," said Phyllis Peoples, President and CEO of Terrebonne General. "I applaud our physicians and staff for their daily commitment to delivering outstanding care and congratulate them on this remarkable achievement."

The methodology used to select Terrebonne General as one of the Best Hospitals for Patient Safety is unique in that it evaluates 13 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) measures of infections and complications, Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey results along with primary research about women’s healthcare preferences. It is the only award recognizing excellence in patient safety based on robust criteria that consider patient satisfaction and clinical excellence.

“Not all hospitals can say they are the safest in the country, and by identifying those who are, the Women’s Choice Award is helping the female consumer identify the hospitals in her community that are dedicated to creating the safest patient experience,” said Delia Passi, Founder and CEO of the Women’s Choice Award.

“The recipients of the Best Hospitals for Patient Safety Award have led the country by implementing safe practices that have ultimately saved lives,” said Passi. “This recognition is critical for women as they make over 80% of healthcare decisions and need to know they are putting themselves—and their family members—in the safest hands.”

Terrebonne General is one of 510 award recipients representing the hospitals that have met the highest standards for patient safety in the U.S. by the Women’s Choice Award.
