HURON -PERTH —
Patients across Huron
and Perth gave their
local hospitals top marks
recently.
When it comes to
patient satisfaction, the
eight hospitals received
the equivalent to A+
according to the Ontario
Hospital Association
(OHA) report.
Huron and Perth hospi-
tals achieved results in
the top 10 per cent in
Ontario for emergency
patient care satisfaction,
while in acute care
patient satisfaction,
results were surpassed
by only four other hospi-
tals/health care systems
in the province.
"We applaud the
tremendous work of the
staff, physicians and vol-
unteers for continuing to
provide high quality care
throughout Huron and
Perth," Huron Perth
Healthcare Alliance CEO
Andrew Williams said.
The recent report rep-
resents one of the largest
and most comprehensive
studies on hospital -to -
hospital comparison and
performance undertaken
in Canada. The report is
a joint initiative of the
OHA and the Ministry of
Health and Long -Term
Care and provides an
ongoing assessment
comparing nearly 100
hospitals/health care sys-
tems in Ontario.
The Huron Perth hospi-
tals involved are Exeter's
South Huron Hospital,
Alexandra Marine and
General Hospital, Clinton
Public Hospital, St.
Marys Memorial
Hospital, Seaforth
Community Hospital,
Stratford General
Hospital, Listowel
