2007 TNCPE Excellence Award
Wellmont was the sole winner of the 2007 Excellence Award, the highest level of achievement in the TNCPE awards program.
The TNCPE Excellence Award is presented annually to an organization that has demonstrated management excellence through its practices and achievements. Winners at this advanced level are considered outstanding examples of high-performance organizations, exhibiting world-class processes that serve as role models for others. The program uses the Criteria for Performance Excellence established by the Baldrige National Quality Program as the evaluation tool.
“The Tennessee Excellence Award confirms attainment of a goal that most organizations set but few reach: confirmation of being the best," said Gov. Phil Bredesen. “Winners of this award have demonstrated a level of organizational aptitude seen in only the most forward-thinking, competitive organizations. It is gratifying that Tennessee is home to several of these organizations.
“I applaud Wellmont Health System for its achievement and for demonstrating the quest for business excellence is alive and well in Tennessee.”
