March 25, 2019
Spring may have officially started last week but for me the season's true arrival always begins with Cincinnati Reds Opening Day, which takes place later this week. An unofficial "holiday" for Cincinnati, our Opening Day is unrivaled across professional baseball and is a city-wide celebration that heralds a sense of renewal, optimism and hope for sunnier skies, warmer weather and winning baseball!
Here at TriHealth we have yet another reason to celebrate this week - National Doctors' Day. We are undoubtedly blessed with the most talented physicians in the region - and perhaps the country - as evidenced by the many accolades bestowed upon our physicians, highlighted by 174
TriHealth physicians being named Top Doctors in Cincinnati earlier this year-most from any community health system! Beyond these recognitions, our physicians' work is woven into the fabric of TriHealth - spanning all of our sites, connecting to our own individual areas of work, inextricably tied to our collective mission to "get healthcare right." On behalf of TriHealth's 12,000+ team members, caregivers, volunteers and our Board of Directors, we thank our physicians - on National Doctors' Day and every day - for bringing our mission and values to life by delivering better care, better health, and better value to those we serve.
And as we recognize and thank our physicians this month, we also celebrate some of our impressive accomplishments and wins from this past month including:
Good Samaritan Hospital being recognized for the SIXTH TIME by IBM Watson as one of the nation's Top 100 Hospitals, affirming on a national level that Good Sam is "getting healthcare right"
Bethesda North Hospital being named a "Blue Distinction Center for Cardiac Care" by Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield for demonstrating expertise in delivering high quality, safe and effective cardiac care
The rollout and success of our local-level Town Hall meetings at TriHealth locations across the system, focused on the idea of "All In" commitment from each of us to help transform healthcare delivery for the patients and families we serve
The announcement of our most recent Living Our Values Award winners - ten exceptional team members who were recognized for inspiring others to live out the TriHealth Way
The deployment of Voalte, our new clinical communication platform, at Arrow Springs, Bethesda North and TriHealth Evendale Hospital, providing more efficient communication between providers to better serve our patients
The launch of our new Heart-focused TV campaign to further support our cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation services throughout TriHealth to provide best-in-class cardiac care
Thank you again to our physicians for leading the way for all of us at TriHealth in delivering the highest quality and safest patient care. And thank you to all our team members, physicians and volunteers for making TriHealth the place where people want to work, where physicians want to practice and where the community increasingly chooses to receive their care. Go Reds!
