KIRBY HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT & INPATIENT UNIT AWARDED TOP HONORS FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
For the fourth consecutive year, Kirby Hospital has won the prestigious Summit Award, an honor given by Press Ganey, at its annual conference held this week in National Harbor, Maryland. In addition to the award for Kirby’s Emergency Department, the organization also presented Kirby with a Summit Award for In-Patient Care.
Press Ganey is an organization that works with more than 7,000 health care organizations, including nearly 40 percent of U.S. hospitals—to measure and improve their quality of care. The Summit Award is Press Ganey’s most esteemed designation and is also the most challenging to attain. To be eligible, each winning facility must achieve and maintain the extraordinary ranking in the 95th percentile or above for customer satisfaction in each quarter, for a minimum of three straight years. Kirby’s attributes these accomplishments in large part to its newly adapted patient care core values—CARES (Compassion, Attitude, Respect, Excellence, and Stewardship) standards.
OUR LAB IS OPEN 24 HRS. A DAY - 7 DAYS A WEEK!

KIRBY MEDICAL CENTER'S DESIGN PHASE IS COMPLETE!
Thank you for your continued interest in the progress of the Kirby Hospital Replacement Facility – Kirby Medical Center. Last year, we announced our exciting journey to build a state-of-the-art replacement medical center had begun. To date, and after much hard work by our entire team, our new facility has completed the design process, we have received approval on our Certificate of Need from the State’s Health Facilities Planning Board and construction bids are in and at or under projections. We've come a long way on the project! Initially, we anticipated breaking ground during fall of 2009. In order to realize significant cost savings by avoiding winter construction, our plan now is to break ground in early spring 2010 If you would like to receive updates on the project via email, please send a note to pkommer@kirbyhospital.org and she will add you to the list.
