Essentia Health-Fosston Home Care and Hospice Team recognized for excellence

The Essentia Health-Fosston Home Care and Hospice Team has been recognized for providing exceptional patient experiences.

The team was named a 2023 Human Experience Guardian of Excellence Award winner by Press Ganey, which works with more than 41,000 health care facilities — including Essentia — to solicit patient feedback and create meaningful change.

To receive a Guardian of Excellence Award, a team must rank in the top 5% of health care providers on patient surveys conducted by Press Ganey. The surveys are designed to evaluate measures such as "likelihood to recommend," "teamwork" and "overall rating."

"This is a well-deserved award for our home care and hospice colleagues, who go above and beyond to provide exceptional, compassionate care for our patients," said Callen Weispfennig, Essentia Health-Fosston administrator. "They bring care directly to patients and embody Essentia's mission of making a healthy difference in people's lives."
