The announcement was made at the second annual INspire Hospital of Distinction recognition program, held as a virtual event.
INspire, funded by the Indiana Department of Health’s Safety PIN grant, was developed to implement the delivery of best-practice care for Hoosier moms and babies and recognize hospitals for excellence in addressing key drivers of infant and maternal health.
PWH earned the Hospital of Distinction recognition based on implementing best practices in six key areas, including infant safe sleep, breastfeeding, tobacco prevention and cessation, perinatal substance use, obstetric hemorrhage and maternal hypertension.
“Our Family Birthing Center team works hard to provide each family with world-class care during their birthing experience, and we’re so pleased to receive this recognition,” said Scott Gabriel, president of PWH. “Safeguarding the health of mom and baby is our highest priority, and equipping mom to feel confident in caring for her child helps get them both off to a great start.”
Also earning the Hospital of Distinction recognition were Parkview DeKalb Hospital, Parkview Huntington Hospital, Parkview Noble Hospital, Parkview Wabash Hospital, Parkview Hospital Randallia and Parkview Regional Medical Center.
Parkview LaGrange Hospital was recognized in the 2021 Category of Excellence for demonstrating success in safe sleep, breastfeeding and perinatal substance use.
“Indiana hospitals are grateful for the leadership of Gov. Holcomb and Dr. Box and are thrilled to be a partner in Indiana’s effort to reduce infant mortality,” said IHA President Brian Tabor. “We look forward to building on the progress we’ve made.”
Indiana Hospital Association serves as the professional trade association for more than 170 acute care, critical access, behavioral health and other specialized hospitals in Indiana.
Parkview Whitley Hospital is located at 1260 E. Ind. 205, Columbia City.
