Saint Agnes has something in
common with Johns Hopkins
Hospital and Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center. For 17 consecutive years, all
three were chosen by consumers,
in their respective regions, as
Consumer Choice Award recipients.
Each year, National Research
Corporation (NRC) honors hospitals
across the country whose consumers
rate them as having the highest
quality and best overall image. Results
are based on NRC’s Ticker Study
of more than 250,000 households
representing 450,000 people.
Even more reason to celebrate is
the fact that Saint Agnes is one of
42 hospitals in the nation to receive
this award in each of the 17 years
it has been offered.
“Providing the highest level of
quality and safety is a promise
our staff and physicians take very
seriously,” Saint Agnes President and
CEO Nancy Hollingsworth, RN, says.
“This award is especially gratifying
because it represents another vote
of confidence from our community.”

healthy living? Whether you’ve already fallen
