Hospice of the Northwest has been named a 2024 Hospice Honors Elite recipient by HEALTHCAREfirst, their hospice survey partner. This prestigious annual award recognizes hospices providing the highest level of quality as measured from the caregiver’s point of view.

Award criteria were based on results from the CAHPS Hospice Survey, a standardized national survey of family members or friends who cared for a patient who passed away while under hospice care. Award recipients were identified by evaluating performance on a set of 24 quality indicator measures during an evaluation period of October 2022 through September 2023. Hospice Honors Elite recipients like Hospice of the Northwest scored above the HEALTHCAREfirst National Performance Score on 100% of the 24 evaluated questions.

“It is an honor to be among the 2024 Hospice Honors Elite recipients,” says Bob Laws, Executive Director for Hospice of the Northwest. “This recognition is a reflection of the incredible work our team does every day to not only support hospice patients, but their caregivers as well.”

Thank you to all the staff at Hospice of the Northwest for continuing to provide the highest quality of care!
