Improving to meet your needs Our newest Medical Office Building GRMC is committed to quality at all levels, from workplace to patient care and also in our facilities. We partnered with another top-quality local business, The Koehler Company (TKC), to build our newest addition: Willow Medical Office Building at 105 Medical Drive. TKC was recently awarded First Place, the Eagle Award, from the Associated Builder and Contractors Association for its excellent work on this stunning facility. The criteria for the award included safety, quality control, challenges overcome, project uniqueness and overall appearance. Upgraded imaging equipment GRMC recently upgraded all of our imaging equipment and remodeled the space. The hospital’s characteristic welcoming and clean environment is evident throughout our campus, including in these new exam rooms. Healthgrades Surgical Care and Joint Replacement recognition Guadalupe Regional Medical Center has been recognized for being in the top 2% in the nation for Joint Replacement, a 5-Star recipient for Total Knee Replacement, and the only 2023 Joint Replacement Excellence Award™ and Surgical Care Excellence Award™ recipient in the San Antonio area by Healthgrades. Healthgrades evaluates patient mortality and complication rates for 31 of the most common conditions and procedures at nearly 4,500 hospitals across the country to identify the topperforming hospitals for specialty care. This year’s analysis revealed significant variation in patient outcomes between hospitals with a 2023 Healthgrades Specialty Excellence Award and hospitals that did not receive the award. For example, from 2019–2021, patients treated at hospitals receiving the Joint Replacement Excellence Award™ have, on average, a 63.5% lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the award. The orthopedic surgery service at GRMC has a long history of high standards and excellent outcomes. The three orthopedists practicing at GRMC perform approximately 2,000 surgeries a year, with robust nursing and rehab care providing essential post-operative care. This elite award distinguishes GRMC as one of the nation’s leading hospitals for both joint replacement and surgical care. 5 | GRMC Heal th Currents
