Redmond Named Best Value in Georgia

October 14, 2009- Redmond Regional Medical Center has been named one of the top 100 Best in Value hospitals, according to a list released Monday by Data Advantage, whose Hospital Value Index ranks health care centers around the country.  Redmond was the only hospital in the state of Georgia to achieve this recognition.

“We pride ourselves on offering state-of-the-art, quality care for the best value possible.” Says Redmond CEO, Brenda Waltz, FACHE.  “Consumer accessibility is one of our top priorities.  This recognition shows we have succeeded in these efforts and that Northwest Georgia can access top of the line healthcare right here in Rome, Georgia at Redmond Regional Medical Center.”

“The Hospital Value Index winners are a geographically diverse group of hospitals that have a proven ability to deliver high value care to their communities and represent a model of care that other U.S. hospitals should look to,” said Hal Andrews, CEO of Data Advantage. “As legislators consider health reform, we believe that it will be increasingly important to recognize and reward those hospitals that deliver outstanding value.” For more information on these rankings, visit HospitalValueIndex.com.
