In Sunday’s Cumberland Times News, there was a wonderful
letter to the editor from Steve Friend, a local attorney. The letter is attached below. I have received many complimentary letters
regarding the health system, but this has to be up there in the top three. To have a prominent attorney tout our health
system and our staff as excellent, superb, professional, courteous, attentive,
pleasant, a culture of kindness and very importantly, great senses of humor, is
quite an honor. All of these attributes
are true, but then again I am biased.
But as Steve writes, look at the external objective sources like US News
and World Report (hospital rankings), Healthgrades (top 50 heart programs in
the US), the Maryland Patient Safety Center (Distinguished Achievements in
Patient Safety Innovation), the American
Hospital Association (Living the Vision Award), Premier (Cares Award finalist) and
being recognized as one of the nation’s Most Wired Hospitals by AHA.
We have so much to be proud of at WMHS as we celebrate our
20th anniversary. In addition
to our awards and what we do every day in the care of our patients, we
successfully consolidated three hospitals in Allegany County, we built a new
state of the art medical center and now provide care under a model that focuses
on value not volume and is recognized nationally. Our 20 years as a health system have been
remarkably successful and our success is attributable to an amazing team of
people doing some amazing things day after day.
