Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center has been surveyed by the Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ) and has successfully met the requirements for Hospital Accreditation by demonstrating compliance with CIHQ Standards and the Conditions of Participation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This recognition reflects the hospitals’ continuous commitment to safety and quality patient care. 

EMRMC was subjected to a rigorous unannounced onsite assessment in May. The CIHQ team toured the hospital, reviewed medical records, observed care practices, and interviewed staff and patients. 

“CIHQ’ goal is to partner with hospitals to improve the care provided in our communities,” states Richard Curtis, Chief Executive Officer of CIHQ. “CIHQ is proud to recognize EMRMC for achieving accreditation.” 

“CIHQ has a very collaborative approach and provided educational opportunities throughout their time on our campus” said Nick Spoonmore, Vice President/Hospital Administrator – EMRMC. “This is a comprehensive survey, which gives us the opportunity to highlight the high quality of care our teams provide. Every member of our organization did an outstanding job during this survey, and I’m incredibly proud of the work everyone does on a daily basis.”
