2007 Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence Award
Wellmont was the sole winner of the 2007 Excellence Award, which is the highest level of achievement in the TNCPE awards program. Businesses and organizations representing a wide range of industry participate in the statewide awards program.
“This prestigious honor recognizes our hospitals’ consistent delivery of clinically superior health care and unsurpassed customer service to the communities we serve. The commitment of our physicians and employees to patient safety through continuous process improvement is truly setting our organization apart not only in Tennessee but also across the nation.”
-A. Lee Shillito, past chairman of the Wellmont board of directors
Top 100 Heart Hospital
Holston Valley Medical Center has twice been named one of America’s 100 best heart hospitals, a significant designation that is a result of the facility’s superior patient outcomes, quicker recovery times and shorter lengths of stay.
"There are many rankings available in the healthcare industry, some of which are marketing packages that may be purchased for a fee. However, this study of our nation’s heart hospitals is independent, and the hospitals that achieve this recognition listed don’t pay for the award or the rights to use it."
-Blaine Douglas, Holston Valley’s president
