Henrietta, NY, June 26, 2014 — CHS Healthcare announced today it’s the recipient of two prestigious patient care awards from an independent research company. President Tracey Wenzel recently traveled to St. Louis, MO to accept the following awards:

  • Five Star Excellence Award – for scoring in the top 10% nationally for overall quality of patient care.
  • Top Performer, Overall Quality of Care – The highest honor awarded nationally to participating EMS agencies across the United States.

The award were given to CHS Healthcare on behalf of Professional Research Consultants (PRC), an independent company that surveys patients and monitors the agency’s overall performance.

CHS Healthcare’s data was compared against that of other EMS agencies from across the U.S. as well as other healthcare facilities including hospitals and inpatient units for 2013. The award is a direct reflection of patient’s responses to ongoing surveys that are conducted after the agency transports to a local hospital.
