White Plains, NY (November 23, 2010) – White Plains Hospital recently received an “Excellence in Patient Care” award from the Studer Group®, a healthcare performance improvement and leadership development firm.

The Emergency Department staff received the award for demonstrating outstanding performance in patient satisfaction.

The “Excellence in Patient Care” award was presented at Studer Group's What's Right in Healthcare conference in Texas held at the end of October.

The Hospital finished renovations on its newly expanded Flanzer Center for Emergencies and Critical Care in early 2010. The construction doubled the size of the former Emergency Department and it is expected to see more than 50,000 visits this year.
