St. John’s Clinic places number one in the nation in patient satisfaction
Feb. 14, 2005

St. John's Clinic patient satisfaction scores are the highest in the nation among large clinics evaluated by Press Ganey. The South Bend, IN research company is the health care industry's leading independent vendor of satisfaction measurement and improvement services, evaluating more than 8 million patient satisfaction surveys each year. The scores were calculated through surveys mailed to patients and returned directly to Press Ganey for scoring.

“When a patient comes to St. John’s Clinic or any St. John’s facility, they’re assured we have the highest quality. St. John’s Clinic physicians take care of more than 1.4 million patient visits a year and these patients deserve the highest quality health care delivered in a highly compassionate and patient-centered environment. We at St. John’s Clinic strive to do that everyday. We are very pleased our patients are telling us through the surveys that we are number one in the nation in doing just that,” says Donn Sorensen, St. John’s Clinic Vice President / Chief Operating Officer. “Patient satisfaction and service at St. John's Clinic is a quality initiative.”

St. John’s Clinic is compared with 10,848 physicians in 51 clinics in their peer group of organizations with more than 100 providers. Included in that group are other prestigious physician clinics such as Drake University Health System, Yale Medical Group, Robert Wood Johnson Medical Group and Georgetown University.
