The Platinum Level status builds on AdventHealth Redmond's previous achievement of Gold Level recognition in 2018 and marks a significant milestone in the team’s continued efforts to enhance patient outcomes through responsible antibiotic use. This award serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication of the ASP/Antimicrobial Program (AMP) team, who have implemented effective antibiotic stewardship practices that contribute to patient safety and overall health.

"We are thrilled to receive this recognition, which highlights the high standards of care our ASP team upholds," said Dave Tomey, Chief Medical Officer of AdventHealth Redmond. "Achieving Platinum Level status reflects the commitment and collaboration of our entire ASP/AMP team in pursuing best practices for antimicrobial stewardship."
The ASP/AMP team, led by physician leads John Hostetler, MD, Ricardo Postigo, MD, FACP, AAHIVS, and Peter Richards, MD, along with pharmacy leads Komal Patel and Brianna Qualls, have diligently worked to meet the Georgia Department of Public Health’s rigorous standards. This honor not only highlights their expertise but also represents AdventHealth Redmond’s dedication to supporting patient well-being through thoughtful antibiotic use.
