 The Cayuna Regional Medical Center has received a national award for their emergency care. Women's Choice Award, a national health care referral source named CRMC, one of the America's best hospitals for emergency care. The award signifies that Cayuna Regional Medical Center is in the top 8.4% of U.S. hospitals offering emergency services. We're very honored to receive that award and it's a culmination of a lot of effort from our team in the emergency department but also our ancillary areas like lab and radiology that help to support that and what we do is in the best interest of the patient and we're not trying to get these awards but they're obviously the result of the hard work that we put in. The award recognizes excellence in emergency care based on several processes of care measures based on the amount of time patients spent in the emergency department including time to admission and time to diagnosis. Materia also included the average time before outpatients with chest pain received an EKG and the average time patients with broken bones had to wait before getting pain medications. It's really about the patient and putting the patient first and you can be assured when you come to RER that when you hit the door you'll be seeing a doctor on average in less than 5 minutes and we want to make sure that we get you in, get your issue taken care of and get you back home as quickly as we can. CRMC is one of 313 women's choice award recipients representing the hospitals that have met the highest standards of emergency care in the U.S. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
