Press Ganey, a health care performance improvement company, recently held its 2019 National Client and Executive Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida. The conference brought together more than 3,000 health care professionals to celebrate top performers and share strategies for addressing the industry’s biggest challenges and opportunities to transform care.
More than 100 AdventHealth team members were in attendance to represent the organization during the event. Notably, AdventHealth President/CEO Terry Shaw and Central Florida Division CEO Daryl Tol served as guest speakers during the executive leadership portion of the conference, where hundreds of industry executives learned first-hand about the organization’s mission, vision, values and service standards, as well as its journey to provide transformative care that fosters wholeness through a consumer-focused approach.

The 2019 awards are based on quarterly performance between May 2018 and April 2019.
"Congratulations to these facilities for receiving the Guardian of Excellence Award,” said Patrick T. Ryan, executive chairman of Press Ganey. “This honor reflects their unwavering commitment to improving the safety, quality, and experience of care.”
