Patient Experience
Our Patient Experience Scores Exceed National Average
Our patients always come first and are at the center of everything that we do. This is why our patient experience ratings exceed the national averages. How do we assess patient experience? We use Press Ganey, the industry’s recognized leader in health care performance improvement, to gather feedback from all of our patients so we can continue to always excel in providing the highest quality of care.
High Ratings Mean Highly Satisfied Patients*
Care Centered on Our Patients
Press Ganey is one of the programs we voluntarily participate in to help us measure how well we are doing according to the people who matter most—you. They administer a specific kind of survey to our patients, the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery Survey (OAS CAHPS). The Press Ganey CAHPS database is more than four times larger than any other competitor in the industry. We are not required to participate in this type of survey, but in order to gain valuable insights and experience, we do. Survey results are not required to be published, but in order to be transparent and provide the best representation of our center, we choose to make those results available to our new and current patients.

“This is the second surgical procedure I’ve had @ Arkansas Valley Surgical Center. I think it has been an excellent addition to Canon City residents and citizens from surrounding areas. Thank you to the doctors who organized and built this for us so we would have quality care other than what was available at St. Thomas More. Jan M. Smith, DVM”
