MONTANA – Mountain-Pacific Quality Health announced the winners of the 2019 Montana Health Care Quality Awards.

All recipients were required to meet certain criteria outlined by Mountain-Pacific, including working on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Core Elements of outpatient antibiotic stewardship and taking steps to improve care transitions, medication safety, adult immunization rates and patient and family engagement and satisfaction. Mountain-Pacific celebrates these hospitals and looks forward to another year of excellence in Montana healthcare.
