“It is exciting that our patient satisfaction survey results have earned our hospitals such prestigious recognition,” said Cathy Lee, Vice President of Service Excellence for McLeod Health. “However, scores are not the true reason we celebrate.

The survey scores simply reflect that patient-centered philosophy.”
