Mariners Hospital

WHAT’S NEW

Mariners Hospital earned a five-star rating (on a scale of one to five stars) on the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS), a national, standardized, publicly reported survey of discharged patients’ perspectives of hospital care and experience. The prestigious five-star rating is a testament to our staff’s dedication to patient satisfaction. Mariners Hospital has also been named a Top Rural Hospital nationally for the third time by The Leapfrog Group, an independent watchdog organization focused on improving healthcare standards. The Leapfrog Top Hospital award recognizes achievements in patient safety and quality and is widely acknowledged as one of the most competitive honors American hospitals can receive. This prestigious award is a direct reflection of our highly-skilled team’s unwavering commitment to provide high-quality, patient-centered care in the safest healthcare environment possible.

FUNDRAISING AT GLANCE

The 30th annual Mariners Hospital Bougainvillea Ball was held on Saturday, January 26, 2019 benefiting the crucial expansion of the emergency center at Mariners Hospital. The two-year project will help the hospital maximize efficiency, meet patient demand and reduce wait times for our patients. Among the goals of the project is to create an area in the center to more quickly treat and release patients with minor illnesses and injuries, allowing them to get home faster. Costs for such an expansion are considerable, and as a not-for-profit organization, philanthropic support is vital for our success and goals.

DID YOU KNOW?

Baptist Health hospitals have a longstanding reputation for offering the highest-quality medical care. This reputation continues to be reinforced with Mariners Hospital achieving the Pathway to Excellence designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center for the third year. Mariners was the first hospital in the state of Florida to receive this designation years ago, which serves as confirmation of Mariners’ commitment to nursing excellence and an environment where collaboration between all hospital departments is highly valued and supported. Pathwaydesignated organizations are deemed the best places to work for nurses, with high nurse satisfaction and retention. Research shows that healthy work environments improve not only nurse satisfaction, but also patient satisfaction and quality of care.
