In recognition for providing quality care and positive outcomes for patients, Woman’s Hospital has been awarded four stars by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the second straight year.
CMS star ratings are designed to provide consumers with a simple overall rating to help them choose where to receive their care. Scores include a summary of seven different areas, including effectiveness of care, patient experience and timeliness of care.
Supporters of Mary Bird Perkins – Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Center put on their poodle skirts and leather jackets and ventured back to the 1950s, all while raising more than $355,000 to help individuals and families in the community impacted by cancer. The Gala Goes Grease, presented by GMFS Mortgage, is the Cancer Center’s annual fundraiser, and this year was a variety show experience streamed on Facebook Live and other platforms. Viewers were treated to musical performances, meaningful patient stories, a silent auction, and a prom court presentation.
With visitors and family members unable to enter the Breast & GYN Cancer Pavilion due to COVID-19 restrictions, patients have been unable to have their full support teams with them as they “ring the bell” in celebration of their final chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments.
