Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) has awarded PrairieStar Health Center 7 more national awards for its delivery of high-quality family medicine.
PrairieStar received the gold award for Health Center Quality Leaders, which is given to only the top 10% of all Federally Qualified Health Centers in the nation. The award is given based on achieving the best overall clinical quality measure (CQM) performance among all health centers.
In addition, PrairieStar received the National Quality Leader award for heart health, ranking them in the top 1-2% of all FQHCs for management of conditions that affect heart health including hypertension control, use of aspirin, and tobacco use screening.
“It is a testament to the work and dedication of our family medicine providers,” said Bryant Anderson, Chief Executive Officer.
PrairieStar also received awards for reducing health disparities, advancing healthcare IT for quality, increasing access to medical care for patients, addressing social factors, and maintaining a Level III Patient-Centered Medical Home designation, the highest level obtainable.
Since 2015, PrairieStar has earned 44 national quality awards.
“This national recognition is certainly an indicator of the quality of care that patients receive at PrairieStar,” said Anderson.
