HealthONE’s Presbyterian/St.

Luke’s Medical Center Receives the 2018

Women’s Choice Award® as One of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Patient
Experience

Denver, CO, October 11, 2018 --(PR.com)-- HealthONE's Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center has
been named one of America's 100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience by the Women's Choice
Award®, America's trusted referral source for the best in healthcare. The award signifies that
Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center has been ranked within the top 100 hospitals of similar size based
on number of beds.

The methodology used to select HealthONE's Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center as one of America's
100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience is unique in that it evaluates specific Hospital Consumer
Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey results along with primary research
about women's healthcare preferences.

The Women's Choice Award collects the data for the following HCAHPS survey measures and uses a
weighted average to award the best hospitals for patient experience:

· Effective communication with nurses and doctors

· Responsiveness to requests for help
· Pain management
· Explanation about medications before being administered
· Bathroom and room cleanliness
· Patient recommendation rating

According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, good patient experience positively
correlates to disease management, adherence to treatment plans and health outcomes.

“This hospital was awarded because it is one of the best at treating their patients the way their patients
want to be treated,” said Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women's Choice Award. “Hospital choice
is a critical decision, particularly for women, who make over 80% of healthcare decisions. Our
designation makes it easier for them to choose a hospital where they and their families are more likely to
have a better experience and outcome.”

HealthONE's Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center is one of 400 award recipients representing the
hospitals that have met the highest standards for patient experience in the U.S. by the Women's Choice
Award.

“Delivering world-class healthcare right in the heart of Denver, patient experience is always a top priority
at Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center (P/SL),” states Maureen Tarrant, President & CEO at P/SL.
“From the moment the patient walks through our doors to the time they leave, our team is dedicated to
delivering safe, comfortable, well-informed care to every patient, every time. We are proud to earn the
designation as one of America's 100 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience.”
