Baptist Hospice-Union City wins prestigious honor

Baptist Hospice-Union City has been named a 2015 Hospice Honors recipient, an award recognizing hospices providing the best patient care as rated by the patient’s caregiver. This is the second consecutive year Baptist Hospice-Union City has received the award.

To determine the winners, Deyta, a company that provides software and services to home health and hospice agencies, surveyed more than 1,700 partnering hospice agencies and evaluated their performance on 18 satisfaction indicator measures.

Suzie McWherter, director of Baptist Hospice-Union City, credits staff teamwork, physician engagement, and commitment to quality as factors for being named a 2015 Hospice Honors recipient. She said, “At Baptist Hospice-Union City, we strive to meet not only the physical needs but also the spiritual and emotional needs of our patients and their families.”
