MedStar: One of the Best and Brightest

Behavioral Health Unit to Close Temporarily

MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital always makes healthy lifestyles a top priority, and those efforts do not stop with patients. The hospital also works to encourage employees to maintain a healthy lifestyle, earning MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital recognition as one of the Best and Brightest in Wellness companies by the National Association for Business Resources.

To achieve this recognition, companies must show that they celebrate and recognize excellence and quality in employee and worksite health.

“The majority of our employees are also residents of our county,” Christine Wray, president of MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital, said. “By focusing on helping our associates improve their health, we are also bettering the health of our community as a whole.”

The companies chosen to be honored were examined for quantitative data on a point system, using criteria that showed they could implement and improve wellness program effectiveness. The 2015 Best and Brightest winning companies were assessed by SynBella, a national wellness systems firm.

The criteria include outcomes, analysis and tracking, employee input, benefits and programs, participation and incentives, leadership, culture, and environment.

MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital is a full-service community hospital, delivering state-of-the-art emergency, acute inpatient and outpatient care in Leonardtown, MD. MedStar St. Mary’s provides advanced technology with a dedication to excellence in all services provided. The not-for-profit hospital has been named among the nation’s Top 100 Hospitals and is an eight-time recipient of the Delmarva Medicare Excellence Award.
