The Michigan Peer Review Organization (MPRO) and Office of the Michigan Governor Rick Snyder awarded Villa at West Branch with the Governor’s Award of Excellence in the category of “Improving Care: Nursing Homes.” Villa at West Branch is located in West Branch, MI and joined the Villa Healthcare family in July 2015.
The prestigious award recognizes participants for their dedication to improved healthcare quality and patient safety in Michigan. To be eligible for the award, participating providers must achieve, maintain and continually improve in specific and rigorous milestones.
“This recognition is reflective of our teams dedicated continuous commitment to provide quality care for those we serve,” said Penny Bliss, the Administrator at Villa at West Branch. “I am very appreciative for the support of our facility team, Villa Healthcare, families, community and MPRO in achieving this award.”
The award stems from a partnership program between MPRO and the Office of the
Governor established in 2003 to recognize a community’s outstanding achievements in improving the quality of healthcare. Participating healthcare organizations must meet strict improvement criteria in the following categories to achieve the prestigious award:
- Improving coordination of care
- Improving heart health
- Increasing adult immunizations
- Lowering risk of infection in hospitals
- Effective reporting and measurement
- Improving care in Skilled Nursing Centers
- Increasing Identification of behavioral health conditions
- Improving Diabetes management
“I am extremely proud of the entire team,” said Josh Baumol, VPO of Michigan at Villa Healthcare. “The Governor’s Award would not have been possible without our committed team at Villa at West Branch. This achievement holds true to the Villa motto of ‘Making People Better.’”
