GLENDALE ADVENTIST MEDICAL
Center (GAMC)
would like to once again thank its physicians, nurses,
associates and the entire community! GAMC earned
the 2015 Women’s Choice Award in three categories as
America’s Best Hospital for Heart Care, Orthopedics and
Patient Safety.
The Women’s Choice Award is the only evidence-based
designation that identifies the country’s best hospitals
based on criteria that consider patient satisfaction, clinical
excellence and what women really want when it comes to
WOMEN CHOOSE GAMC FOR
MORE REASONS THAN EVER
We l l n e s s
treatment and a quality hospital experience.
“We are honored to receive the Women’s Choice Award
for Patient Safety, Heart Care and Orthopedics,” says Kevin
A. Roberts, president and CEO, GAMC. “Our entire staff
including our physicians, nurses, associates and adminis-
tration have worked hard to keep patient care and outcomes
as the focus of our success. We value human dignity and
[the] individuality of our patients and their families, excel-
lence in clinical care, medical technology, and service
quality.”
Out of the top 25 percent of hospitals across the nation
that had a high Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health-
care Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) recommendation
score and a low incidence of reported problems from sur-
gical errors and infections, “Glendale Adventist Medical
Center not only performed well clinically with regard to
heart care measures but also had a high recommenda-
tion rate, a measure that is very important to women in
choosing a hospital,” says Delia Passi, CEO and founder
of the Women’s Choice Award.
GAMC works toward always providing quality care for
their patients and puts significant effort into achieving
these results, and the Women’s Choice Award recognizes
those strides and commitment to excellence. “As the pri-
mary health care decision makers, women account for
about 90 percent of all family choices when it comes to
matters of health. Making quick decisions goes against
their grain, and women are seeking more information
than ever before when making health care or hospital
selections,” Passi says.
Women can choose GAMC with confidence because
the Women’s Choice Award is the first national award
identifying hospitals based on women’s recommenda-
tions and preferences!
