National Study Recognizes Bay Area Medical Center for Clinical Excellence

Marinette, Wis. (February 7, 2006) - Today, Bay Area Medical Center announced that a study of quality at the nation's 5,000 hospitals named the hospital as one of the top five percent in the nation and a recipient of the 2006 Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical ExcellenceTM. The study conducted by HealthGrades, the leading healthcare ratings company, found that hospitals in the top five percent in the nation had mortality rates that were, on average, 27 percent lower than other hospitals, and major complication rates that were 14 percent lower.

Each year, HealthGrades conducts the most comprehensive studies of hospital quality in America, producing a rating for every nonfederal hospital in 26 diagnoses and procedures. Hospitals that receive the Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence are those hospitals that place among the top five percent nationally when all 26 ratings are aggregated into a comprehensive score. Only 277 hospitals nationwide are recognized.

"This award truly speaks to the culture of quality at Bay Area Medical Center," said David Olson, president & CEO of Bay Area Medical Center. "It is one thing to be recognized for excellence in a single service area but something all together different to achieve this level of recognition across all service areas of the hospital."
