TOP 5% FOR PATIENT SAFETY NATIONWIDE.

Recognition for Leesburg Regional Medical Center continues to grow. HealthGradesTM has awarded the hospital its 2014 Patient Safety Excellence Award. The distinction places Leesburg Regional within the top 5% of all hospitals in the U.S. for its excellent performance in safeguarding patients from serious, potentially preventable complications during their hospital stays. And while we’re undeniably proud of the recognition, we’re most proud to provide our community with the highest quality of care, year after year.

Swelling, discoloration and pain in the lower extremity, all symptoms of Venous Insufficiency, are serious indicators of a potentially limb-threatening, even life-threatening condition. Samantha had all three of them and missing a dance at her daughter’s wedding was the least of her worries. ICE was there to help. Our vein care team located the four damaged veins that were causing her problems and treated them. Six months later, Samantha got rave reviews for her fox trot at her baby’s wedding.

As a health care organization, our promise to deliver quality patient care depends upon our dedicated and compassionate staff. This is why we place great importance on our employee recognition programs; we want our employees to know how much they are valued. In 2014, we introduced a program that rewarded three employees who maintained perfect attendance for the entire year: Bill Hargrove, Sandy Spotts-Hafer and Deb Gehrke. Their commitment to our patients and to their fellow colleagues is exemplified in everything they do, starting with their perfect attendance record. At Promise, we want to let our employees know that:

WE SEE YOU MAKING THE EXTRA EFFORT AND WE APPRECIATE IT.

Melissa was right to be concerned about her husband. Family history is a primary contributor to a person’s overall cardiovascular health. It’s never too early to ask your doctor for an assessment. Never too soon to ask for recommendations to help. The good news, after a thorough workup at ICE, their cardiologists were able to determine that his heart was in good shape. His cholesterol was high but it was manageable through medication. Melissa’s heart felt as if a great weigh had been removed from it.
