E​CU Health is thrilled to celebrate the winners of the​ third annual Patient Choice Awards!

The Patient Choice Awards recognize teams that have the highest and most improved patient experience ratings in their care delivery category for “Creating a caring environment that helped me heal.” Hospitals also received awards for patient ratings in cleanliness and “Courtesy of ​a person​ who served me food.”​​

Over the past few months, ECU Health Chief Experience Officer Julie Oehlert traveled across eastern North Carolina to host ceremonies honoring award winners and finalists. The winning teams were excited to be recognized by their patients, and leaders were proud to celebrate this accomplishment with their teams!

​​​One of the highest honors in health care is being recognized and appreciated by patients ​and families. The Patient Choice Award winners and finalists live ECU Health’s Values through providing compassionate, human-centered care. Their patients have acknowledged the genuine impact of this care and of the loving environment they create every day.​​​​​​​

Congratulations to FY24 Patient Choice Award recipients:
