FRHS.ORG 3 Kelly Driscoll, RN, MHA, FACHE President and CEO We are grateful to be the trusted health care provider for our neighbors, friends and families. Together, we will continue to build a healthier, happier future. I wish everyone a blessed, healthy and happy holiday season! We look forward to caring for you and your family in 2024. It’s no secret that my most favorite time of the year is the holiday season. My excitement for all things Christmas—the lights and decorations, making plans to enjoy old traditions and making new traditions with loved ones, and taking a moment for the reason for the season—fills me with childlike joy and gratitude! This time of year also brings moments of reflection, to look at the year just wrapping up and take stock in our accomplishments as well as our opportunities and lessons learned. As President and CEO of Faith Regional Health Services, I am fortunate beyond measure to work with an amazing, dedicated and mission-focused organization of people who contribute to the health and wellness of our patients and the communities we serve. Our commitment to providing top-tier care that empowers our community to lead fulfilling lives is exemplified by our achievements. Just this year we were able to relocate Rehabilitation Therapies and the Norfolk Family Medicine Clinic to the North Medical Office Building, giving our patients better access to state-of-the-art services and care. We also welcomed new physicians in the specialties of OB/GYN and Pain Management and made surgical technological advancements in the fields of orthopedics and pulmonology. Our nursing leadership team were featured presenters on the topic of patient excellence practices at the national What’s Right in Health Care conference. I must also mention that for the first time, Faith Regional Health Services was given an overall 5-star rating for the quality of care provided to patients. Compiled by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), this overall star rating is based on how well hospitals perform across different areas of quality, such as safety of care, timely and effective care, patient experience, and readmission rates. Faith Regional is one of only eight hospitals in Nebraska and 483 nationwide to receive a 5-star rating. You and your family are our primary motivation. It is through the dedication and compassion of our entire organization who all strive to provide exemplary care to our patients each and every day that these honors and achievements are a natural outcome of our unwavering commitment to doing what we do exceptionally well. Our hospital is more than just a building; it is a lifeline for our community. It is where lives are saved, hope is restored, and dreams are realized. Season’s greetings
