The Cypress Health Region was a two-time winner of Green Ribbon Awards at the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organization's "Inspire: Health Care Quality Summit" in Regina on Wednesday.

 

The awards were received for Community Mental Health's "Opening A File" LEAN project, and the Cypress Regional Hospital Medical/Surgical Unit's "Patient Falls Initiative". CEO Beth Vachon says the region is continually focused on system-wide improvements and the Green Ribbon Awards are an important showing of success.

Submissions for SAHO's Green Ribbon Awards are judged by three independant reviewers, and must reach an average score of 86.67% to receive an award.
