BOCA RATON, FL – November 28, 2016 – Boca Raton Regional Hospital has been named a 2016/2017 Consumer
Choice Award recipient by 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
again joins such prestigious institutions as Massachusetts General Hospital,
Cleveland Clinic and The Johns Hopkins Hospital in this year’s listings,
and is the sole provider in the Palm Beach County service area to receive
the distinction.
“For each of the past 21 years, winning hospitals have provided outstanding
experiences that have transcended their four walls to drive consumer preference,
trust, and loyalty in their markets. We are honored to congratulate this
year’s winners on a job well done,” said Brian Wynne, Market
Insights General Manager at NRC.
Award recipients are determined by consumer perceptions on multiple quality
and image ratings in NRC’s Market Insights survey, the largest online
consumer healthcare survey in the country. The survey includes more than
300,000 households in the contiguous 48 states and the District of Columbia.
Hospitals named by consumers are ranked based on their Core Based Statistical
Areas as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, with winning facilities being
ranked the highest.
“We are honored to receive this distinction for the second year in
a row,” said Jerry Fedele, President and CEO at Boca Regional. “A
recognition of this caliber from consumers themselves is most gratifying
and strong, objective testimony to the quality of care we provide.”
