JUPITER, Fla. (December 16, 2016) – For the third time, Jupiter Medical Center has been awarded the
Laureate Workplace Enhancement Award, and is the only hospital in Florida
to win the award in 2016. This award honors health care organizations
that meet the criteria developed by The Jackson Group and have demonstrated
significant improvement in 80 percent of their metrics in the survey.
Each year, the Jackson Group assesses over 150 hospitals and only four
won this year.
“At Jupiter Medical Center patient care is our top priority, and
the only way to provide the highest quality care is to ensure our team
is in an environment where they can thrive,” said John Couris, CEO
of Jupiter Medical Center. “I am honored that Jupiter Medical Center
has received this award as we strive to achieve even higher levels of
excellence.”
To be eligible for the award, a hospital must complete the Work Climate
Survey and have a response rate of 68 percent or higher in meeting the
criteria established related to their workplace. Work climate surveys
were conducted over several years to measure improvements in the work
climate and plan for further action in areas in need of continued focus.
Jupiter Medical Center demonstrated excellence in the following categories:
communication, employee involvement, commitment, and perception of departmental
leadership. This award is another indication that Jupiter Medical Center
