Harrison Memorial Hospital Receives 2016 Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award for Outstanding Performance in Clinical Quality

Harrison Memorial Hospital (HMH) is pleased to announce that it has been named a 2016 Guardian of Excellence Award® winner by Press Ganey. The Guardian of Excellence Award recognizes top-performing healthcare organizations that have consistently achieved the 95th percentile or above of performance in clinical quality.    

At HMH, we continually evaluate and improve our services to ensure the residents in our service area have access to vital medical services close to home. To add to the list of services continually upgraded to benefit patients, Harrison Memorial Hospital has been officially designated a Level IV Trauma Center by the Kentucky Trauma System. This designation also has been verified by the Commonwealth of Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services.

Harrison Memorial Hospital now offers low-dose CT scans that help doctors detect lung cancer before symptoms occur. This low-dose CT scan has been proven to save lives by discovering lung cancer in its earliest stages.

“According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, it is estimated that screening could save 20,000 lives a year,” says Sheila Currans, HMH Chief Executive Officer. “By offering this program, we hope to be able to save more lives in our community.”
