Miami Jewish Health has been recognized as a 2019 Silver - Achievement in Quality Award recipient by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). The award is the second of three distinctions possible through the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program, which spotlights providers across the nation that have demonstrated their dedication to improving quality of care for residents and patients in long term and post-acute care. Based on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, AHCA/NCAL's National Quality Award Program, established in 1996, challenges member providers to achieve performance excellence through three progressive levels-Bronze, Silver, and Gold. At the Silver level, members develop and demonstrate effective approaches that help improve organizational performance and health care outcomes. As a 2019 recipient of the Silver award, Miami Jewish Health can now advance in further developing comprehensive approaches that meet the criteria required for the Gold - Excellence in Quality Award. The awards were presented during AHCA/NCAL's 70th Convention & Expo in Orlando, Florida, October 13-16, 2019.

 

"Miami Jewish Health is honored to be recognized by the AHCA/NCAL for exceptional care provided in both our assisted living facility, Hazel Cypen Tower, and nursing home," said Jeffrey P. Freimark, President and CEO of Miami Jewish Health. "This honor is a testament to our pioneering EmpathiCare philosophy and devoted team that provides the highest-quality care."
