Five Star Service Award |
Yampa Valley Medical Center has received numerous national awards in patient satisfaction as determined by Avatar International, Inc. Avatar surveys patients on behalf of 300 hospitals nationwide.
In 2009, YVMC was named an Overall Best Performer for the seventh year in a row, placing among the top 20 hospitals in Avatar’s national database. This award recognizes the highest overall ratings for combined inpatient, outpatient, ambulatory surgery and emergency service. We were one of only two hospitals nationally that have won this award for the past seven years.
In addition, YVMC was one of the top four hospitals in the Avatar national database in the category of emergency care, earning the Five Star Service Emergency Care award.
We also earned recognition for Exceeding Patient Expectations.
Avatar awards are not based on hospital size. The top rankings are determined solely by patient satisfaction survey results.
