Once again, for the 18th consecutive year, Loma Linda University Medical Center has received the Consumer Choice Award for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario market, according to Pamela Masker, senior business development manager for the National Research Corporation’s Market Insights, the organization bestowing the award.
“Congratulations,” writes Ms. Masker. “You are one of only 17 sole winners [in their markets] in the nation.” She continues, “You are one of 37 hospitals that can claim to have been recognized for 18 years running (this number including co-winners as well).”
The Consumer Choice Award is based on a national survey of 270,000 households, known as Market Insights, by the National Research Corporation. In the local Inland Empire market, just under 3,000 households were surveyed.
Area hospitals were rated by consumers for best overall quality, best image and reputation, best doctors, and best nurses.
An official announcement of the Consumer Choice Award winners will be included in the October 21, 2013, edition of Modern Healthcare magazine.
