Earle Lerner, President and CEO of Marathon Healthcare Group, an East Hartford-based skilled nursing provider with Skilled Nursing Facilities in 6 Connecticut cities, proudly announced on Thursday that 3 more of Marathon’s nursing centers have received the National Malcolm Baldridge Award for Quality and Excellence.
Marathon Healthcare Centers of Norwalk, Torrington, and Waterbury join last year’s Quality Award recipients Marathon Healthcare Centers of Prospect and West Haven. This Step 1 award, which will be presented at the American Healthcare Association’s annual convention, was received in 2008 by only 7% of Connecticut’s 244 skilled nursing facilities.
The American Healthcare Association describes the Quality Award Program as: “The AHCA/NCAL Quality Award Program directly supports the Quality First principles to cultivate and nourish an environment of continuous quality improvement, openness, and leadership. These principles are:
- Continuous Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement
- Public Disclosure and Accountability
- Patient/Resident and Family Rights
- Workforce Excellence
- Public Input and Community Involvement
- Ethical Practices
- Financial Stewardship”
Marathon Healthcare Group’s President and CEO Earle Lerner stated “We are enormously proud of our employees. This Quality Award is further evidence of their dedication and of our higher calling as a patient-centered organization.”
Marathon Healthcare Group is distinguished by their commitment to achieve outcomes of exceptional quality through unwavering focus on physical, spiritual, mental, and financial wellness and by means of patient and staff empowerment in the facilities and communities they serve.
