‘Outstanding in Our Field’ is theme for Memorial Hospital’s Healthcare Week

CARTHAGE, Ill. — Healthcare Week is celebrated nationwide during the second week of May. Memorial Hospital recognizes this week to celebrate staff members of Memorial Hospital, Memorial Medical Clinics and Hancock County Senior and Childcare Services.

A planning committee from members of all entities decided to base this year’s theme on “Outstanding in Our Field.” This year’s Healthcare Week festivities will include a food truck coming to the Memorial Hospital campus, treats for every employee, games and more.

Memorial has received a five-star rating for the past three years in a row in patient satisfaction from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Of the 3,478 hospitals rated, Memorial Hospital is one of only 263 hospitals to achieve a five-star rating in patient experience. This equates to ranking in the top eight percent of hospitals nationwide. Memorial recently was honored as the Outstanding Rural Health Organization by the National Rural Health Association.
