The Pinnacle of Excellence Award and the
Guardian of Excellence Awards were presented to Children's Hospital
of Philadelphia's Center for Fetal
Diagnosis and Treatment, as well as the Garbose Family Special
Delivery Unit, respectively
PHILADELPHIA, March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Richard D. Wood Jr. Center
for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment (CFDT) at Children's
Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)
has once again received prestigious recognition from Press Ganey, a
healthcare company that evaluates patient satisfaction.
As in 2022, 2021 and 2020, the CFDT won the 2023 Pinnacle of
Excellence Award®, a preeminent, competitive achievement
for leading healthcare organizations. Presented annually, the award
applauds hospitals and health systems that consistently sustain
performance year-over-year. The CFDT was recognized for being one
of the top three performers in terms of patient satisfaction based
on survey measures such as a patient or family's likelihood to
recommend the CFDT, the Center's overall rating and teamwork.
Since 1995, the CFDT has cared for more than 30,000 expectant
parents from around the world and performed more than 2,500 fetal
surgeries; it is one of the few centers in the world to offer open
fetal surgery for life-threatening conditions. The center offers
comprehensive, family-centered care, from advanced diagnostic
testing, prenatal management and fetal surgery to a special
delivery unit, counseling and support services and expert postnatal
care.
"I am so proud of our entire team and their commitment to
delivering the best possible care to patients and families," says
N. Scott Adzick, MD,
Surgeon-in-Chief of CHOP and the founder and Director of the CFDT.
"This award underscores the team's dedication to keeping our
patients and families at the forefront of every decision and
treatment option."
In addition to the Pinnacle of Excellence Award®, the
Garbose Family Special Delivery Unit (SDU) was awarded the
Guardian of Excellence Award ®. This award is given
to hospital systems annually who reached the 95th percentile for
patient experience, employee or physician engagement, or clinical
quality performance.
The SDU is the world's first birth facility in a pediatric
hospital specifically designed for healthy mothers carrying babies
with known birth defects. Housed within CHOP's CFDT, the SDU allows
moms to stay close, and babies are treated immediately. Having this
comprehensive care in one location is critically important to the
well-being of babies born with complex congenital conditions.
"I would like to extend my sincere gratitude and congratulations
across the entire team within the Garbose Family Special Delivery
Unit," says Julie Moldenhauer, MD,
medical director of the Garbose Family SDU and Director of
Obstetrical Services in the CFDT. "This award demonstrates
something we already know—that we are committed to delivering
expert care while keeping the human experience at the heart of all
that we do. It is a privilege to care for these patients and their
families and I am so thankful for our team's commitment to
providing the best treatment options."
