North Cypress Medical Center Receives Women’s Choice Award® Seal as One of America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedics
Cypress, TX (PRWEB) May 06, 2014 -- North Cypress Medical Center has been named a Women’s Choice Award® recipient as an America’s Best Hospital for Orthopedics, acknowledging North Cypress Medical Center’s dedication to provide exceptional patient care and treatment. The award is based on robust criteria that include patient satisfaction measurements as well as consideration of areas of clinical excellence.
Providing women with smart orthopedic choices is critically important. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), osteoporosis, a disease characterized by weakened and fragile bone tissue, is one of the key diseases that predominately affect women. In fact, half of all women age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis in their lifetime (NOF, 2013). Of the estimated 10 million Americans with osteoporosis, about eight million or 80% are women. The NOF also notes that a woman's risk of breaking a hip is equal to her combined risk of breast, uterine and ovarian cancer (NOF, “What Women Need To Know“).
North Cypress Medical Center qualifies for this highly selective annual list based on an in-depth proprietary scoring process. The scoring utilizes data reported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The selection process identifies those hospitals that provide comprehensive orthopedic services, and that meet criteria for patient satisfaction and surgical excellence based on female needs and preferences.
“As one of America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedics, North Cypress Medical Center is demonstrating their commitment to fulfill the needs and preferences of women by meeting the highest standards of excellence and performance,” states Delia Passi, CEO and founder of the Women’s Choice Award program, and former group publisher of Working Woman and Working Mother magazines.
The Women’s Choice Award program provides women with a trusted third party endorsement based on hospital experiences by patients in their community and back that with clinical data. By carrying the Women’s Choice Award seal, North Cypress Medical Center has joined an elite network of hospitals committed to a global mission to empower women to make smart healthcare choices.
“Our Orthopedics and Joint Center strives for excellence daily. They continue to produce exceptional outcomes and patient satisfaction scores. I am extremely proud of our Orthopedic Surgeons and physicians, specialty nurses, and therapists. Their commitment to quality and excellence makes North Cypress Joint Center one of the premier orthopedic centers in the area, states Dr. Robert A. Behar, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, North Cypress Medical Center.
“Women spoke and clearly defined what’s important to them when seeking an orthopedic hospital and the standard of excellence they expect for themselves and their families. As one of America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedics, North Cypress Medical Center was selected due to their excellent rating in areas such as post-treatment complications, patient recommendation ratings, availability of microscopic surgery and adequate post-surgical care,” says Delia Passi.
Women have many choices when it comes to orthopedic care. Now they can make informed choices based on the recommendations of women who have experienced that hospital. Most importantly, when a woman sees the Women’s Choice Award seal at her local hospital, she’ll know the hospital values her experience as a critical component of care for her and her loved ones.
