Got Quality Healthcare?

By Bruce G. Krider

Candidate for Board Member; Palomar Health

If a healthcare system doesn't provide quality healthcare, not much else matters. Did you realize this about Palomar Health Quality?
It is said that if a mother doesn't do a good job raising her children, nothing else she does much matters.

In the same way, if a hospital doesn't provide quality healthcare, nothing else much matters. My emphasis has always been not on what hospitals do so much as how they do it.

The quality scores and the process used at Palomar to study its own work and evaluate its processes and delivery of care was what Mayo Clinic looked at when they decided who they wanted to partner with in the San Diego area.

It is perhaps one of the best kept secrets. Often one hears the name of other major private hospitals when people are seeking the best care.

But when Mayo studied our work and chose Palomar to work with and then combined their resources and experts with those at Palomar, we took the quality of healthcare to a new level not seen. Indeed, as of this writing the Palomar Health system is the ONLY system selected by Mayo to work with in California!

This is in part a product of the leadership of the Board of Trustees at Palomar Health and certainly in concert with a tremendous team of staff and physicians who arrive at work every day to work hard to provide the best care they can possibly give.
