Arbor Health's Physical Therapy and Emergency teams receive top ratings

Arbor Health–Morton Hospital's Physical Therapy and Emergency departments were recently recognized with Excellence in Healthcare Awards. The awards were presented by PRC, a nationally recognized organization that supports over 2,800 health care organizations across all 50 states and is a leader in the health care intelligence space.

The Excellence in Healthcare Awards recognize organizations and individuals who achieve excellence throughout the year based on surveys of their patients. In this case, Arbor Health's Physical Therapy Department received the five-star award, and the Emergency Department received the four-star award.

"This recognition is a testament to the unwavering dedication and exceptional care our teams provide to our patients every day.

We will continue to uphold these standards and work tirelessly to deliver the best possible care to our patients. Congratulations to all involved!"

Joe M. Inguanzo, PhD, President and CEO of PRC, also had kind words for the East Lewis County medical group.
