Central Baptist Named Among Top 100 Hospitals for Patient Experience by WomenCertified

Central Kentucky women have ranked Central Baptist Hospital No. 1 in Lexington for patient experience.

WomenCertified®, the collective voice of the female consumer and a trusted referral source for top businesses and brands identified among women, is recognizing Central Baptist Hospital as one of the country's Top 100 Hospitals for Patient Experience. No other Lexington hospital was named to the list, and CBH is among only six Kentucky hospitals recognized.

Hospitals are selected for this prestigious annual list based on a proprietary scoring process that incorporates Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores along with a higher level of analysis that weighs criteria identified as the most important to women for patient satisfaction. Additionally, it takes into consideration WomenCertified's in-depth research on customer satisfaction among women, including a joint study on customer satisfaction by gender conducted with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

"From our first birth less than two hours after we opened on Mother's Day 1954, Central Baptist Hospital has been dedicated to being a facility that women could rely on to provide the most comprehensive care throughout their lifetimes," said Central Baptist Hospital President/CEO William G. Sisson. "Having the women of Central Kentucky confirm this commitment by selecting us as one of the Top 100 hospitals for patient experience is a tremendous honor. We consider it a privilege to provide women's services that are as special and unique as the women we serve."

As a Top 100 Hospital and because of its high consumer satisfaction scores, WomenCertified is recognizing Central Baptist Hospital with its Women's Choice Award. The award seal represents the collective opinion of women who highly recommend a brand, service or hospital.

"Women make or influence more than 85 percent of the all healthcare decisions for themselves and their families," said Delia Passi, CEO and founder of WomenCertified and former publisher of Working Mother and Working Women magazines. "Recognizing the top hospitals nationwide that are women-friendly and align with women's identified preferences is important to our mission at WomenCertified, where we are women helping women make smart choices."
