East Georgia Regional Medical Center on honor roll
STATESBORO — East Georgia Regional Medical Center has been named to the Georgia Hospital Association’s Partnership for Health and Accountability Core Measures Honor Roll.
East Georgia Regional is one of 23 hospitals to be placed in the presidential category, one of the highest on the list. The honor roll is based on clinical data provided by the federal Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, which administers the nation’s Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The data was collected from October 2012 to September 2013.
“We constantly strive to maintain the highest standard of patient care,” said Bob Bigley, the hospital’s CEO. “This honor validates that and is a tribute to the dedication of the staff members who ensure that great patient care is made even better.”
Built in 2000, East Georgia Regional Medical Center is a 150-bed acute-care hospital.
