Florida Hospital Waterman has been named as one of the winners of the American Alliance of Healthcare Providers "Hospital of Choice" awards for the fall quarter 2008. The Hospital of Choice Award is designed to find America’s most consumer-friendly hospitals.
AAHCP president, R. Vincent Parr, stated that the selection process is a labor of love. He further said that the goal of AAHCP continues to be to help consumers make educated decisions about the quality of their healthcare. "We continuously search for healthcare systems that are passionate about delivering compassionate care", Mr. Parr said.
Each quarter AAHCP staff reviews the customer service processes (staff development, code of conduct, public service, etc.) of up to 100 hospitals. Approximately twenty-five percent are selected as Choice Award recipients.
