Your input helps us share the love with ECU Health teams.

A provider holds her patient's hand to reassure her.

In fall 2023, the ECU Health Office of Experience team traveled across eastern North Carolina to host award ceremonies and present the second annual Patient Choice Awards.

These prestigious 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.”

One of the highest honors in health care is being recognized and appreciated by patients and families. The Patient Choice Award winners exemplify ECU Health’s mission and values through 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 FY23 Patient Choice Award recipients:
