Palm Beach County Based Hospital Earns Accolade

Boca Raton Regional Hospital has been named a 2015/2016 Consumer Choice Award recipient by the National Research Corporation (NRC). The annual accolade identifies hospitals across the United States that healthcare consumers choose as having the highest quality and image. Boca Regional joins such prestigious institutions as the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts General Hospital and The Johns Hopkins Hospital in this year's listings, and is the only provider in Palm Beach County to receive the distinction.
 
Brian Wynne, Vice President of Business Development at NRC commented, "For each of the past twenty years, winning hospitals have provided outstanding experiences that have transcended their four walls to build consumer preference, loyalty and trust in their markets. We are honored to congratulate this year's winners on a job well done."
