2024 Awards, Honors & Recognitions
Presbyterian named LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality High Performer. All nine Presbyterian hospitals across the state have been recognized as “LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality High Performers” in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's annual Healthcare Equality Index (HEI). Presbyterian received the highest score in New Mexico and is the first healthcare system in the state with more than one hospital recognized.
HEI evaluates healthcare facilities on policies and practices dedicated to the equitable treatment and inclusion of LGBTQ+ patients, visitors and employees.
To demonstrate that they are going beyond the basics when it comes to adopting policies and practices in LGBTQ+ care, facilities are evaluated on detailed criteria in four central pillars:
Foundational Policies and Training in LGBTQ+ Patient-Centered Care;
LGBTQ+ Patient Services and Support;
Employee Benefits and Policies; and,
Patient and Community Engagement.
Presbyterian’s systemwide focus on improving health equity in our community is led by the Presbyterian Community Health team and our Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer. Learn more about Inclusion, Diversity and Equity and our Commitment to Health Equity at Presbyterian.
2020 Awards, Honors & Recognitions
Presbyterian ranked second in nation by Lown Index. Presbyterian Healthcare Services received an A+ overall and was named second among 305 health care systems by the Lown Institute Hospitals Index, a new national ranking of U.S. hospitals and health systems.
The Lown Institute, a Brookline, Mass.-based nonpartisan think tank created the Lown Institute Hospitals Index to help hospitals better serve and support their communities. The Index shows how nearly 3,300 U.S. hospitals compare on 42 performance indicators. The measures fall under three categories:
Civic Leadership, which assesses a commitment to equity, inclusion and community health;
Value of Care, which measures use of unnecessary services; and
Patient Outcomes, which evaluates patient safety, satisfaction, and clinical outcomes.
Presbyterian received A or A+ grades on all three measures, scoring highest in the categories of inclusivity, patient safety and avoiding overuse measures.
