Greater Family Health’s 2015 outcomes on Bureau of Primary Health Care Clinical Indicators have been recognized as among the best for all Federally Qualified Health Centers in the United States and the best in Illinois.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) recognized Greater Family Health as a National Quality Leader, Health Center Quality Leader and Clinical Quality Improver on August 18, 2016, with Greater Family Health receiving the largest National Quality Leader Award in Illinois.
The awards are in recognition of Greater Family Health’s 2015 outcomes which beat the Illinois average on 14 of 16 Clinical Indicators. Those same outcomes are ranked in the top 25% in the United States on 11 of 16 Indicators, and in the 26-50% percentile on 4 of the remaining 5.
The recognitions acknowledge that Greater Family Health’s outcomes are far better than most Health Centers in the State and Nationally, on an array of Indicators.
No other Federally Qualified Health Center in Illinois which was ranked on at least 15 of the 16 Indicators had better clinical outcomes in 2015 than Greater Family Health.
“There are many reasons for our achievement of such fine outcomes, and chief among them is our commitment to the components of our SPIRIT of Excellence program” said Bob Tanner, President/CEO of Greater Family Health.
