Mariners Hospital was one of 61 Florida hospitals recognized for its participation in national projects designed to improve the quality of healthcare. FMQAI, the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for Florida, recognized the hospital for its participation in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services quality improvement projects. In addition, the hospital has established infrastructures for continuous quality improvement.

“This recognition is significant to Mariners as it commends our dedication to providing excellent care to every person who comes to our hospital,” said Mariners CEO Nelson Lazo. “Providing outstanding patient care has always been our primary mission. This type of recognition is a tribute to the people of Mariners and their unwavering concern for patients. Quality care goes beyond performing surgery, giving medicine or providing therapy. Quality care encompasses the whole patient – the person – not just the ailment. Quality is also about treating patients with care, concern and humanity.”
