Rolling Plains Memorial Hospital Ranks 24th in 100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare
 Rolling Plains Memorial Hospital recently received the honor of being included on Modern Healthcare Magazine's list of the best medical centers to work for. The magazine — which is a highly reputable healthcare journal — published its list of the top 100 hospitals and medical suppliers recently. RPMH not only cracked the top 100, they were ranked No. 24 out of all the facilities in America.
Modern Healthcare magazine paired up with Best Companies Group, a Pennsylvania-based firm that determines the best companies to work for nation-wide. Fawn Lopez, Publisher of Modern Healthcare offers her thoughts on the importance of the findings, "The healthcare environment today and in the future is characterized not just by shrinking margins, increasing regulations, new technologies, increasing consumerism patient empowerment, autonomy and competition; but also by staffing shortage challenges and a heightened appreciation for the quality of the workplace," she said. "Modern Healthcare's "Best places to work in healthcare" program identifies and recognizes healthcare organizations that have successfully built workplace excellence and enabled employees to perform at their optimal level," added Lopez.
Hospital Administrator Tom Kennedy was pleased with the recognition RPMH received saying, "We were elated. I'm very proud of the hospital employees. This hospital has an exceptionally low turnover rate. In the 20 years I've been here, most of the department heads are still the same."
Kennedy also feels that the dedication of the staff is an important part of their success stating, "It increases morale, we're all in this together. We have an excellent medical staff, and they are very supportive of the hospital as a whole, many medical staffs could have been indifferent to the award."
Kennedy, as well as Gay Nell Cherry; Human Resource Director for RPMH thank the employees of RPMH above all else for helping to achieve its credibility in the medical field. Kennedy added, "It is a demonstrated fact, research has shown that hospital employees who feel they are treated fairly at their job provide superior patient care.”
