Quality Outcomes
MemorialCare pioneered best practice medicine more than a decade ago, and we continue to be at the forefront of delivering quality care.
The Pursuit of Quality is in Our Legacy
More than ten years ago, a group of physicians decided to make a difference in the way health care is delivered. They believed that quality — not economics — was the most important element in health care. Together, they formed a group of MemorialCare physicians who devote themselves to the study and implementation of best practice medicine. Their work continues today…Our physicians and staff actively pursue those treatments and therapies that work best. The results are outcomes that frequently benchmark above state and national averages. More importantly, it means excellent care for our patients.
