FORT LEE, Va. (Feb. 11, 2016) -- National Patient Recognition Week, celebrated annually in early February, is the perfect opportunity for Army leaders and medical providers to honor the patients entrusted to their care -- Soldiers, family members, retirees and all other eligible military health system beneficiaries.
As Kenner Army Health Clinic pays tribute to its patients, throughout the month of February, the Army and Regional Health Command -- Atlantic (provisional) also remains committed to the highest standards in patient-centered care.
Trust in the care and support services Army Medicine provides is an essential part of its ongoing commitment to the Army Family.
"National Patient Recognition Week is all about honoring our beneficiaries and letting them know how much we care about their health and well-being," said Lt Col. Brett H. Venable, commander, KAHC. "We want to thank our patients for placing their trust in Kenner, the Army and our system of health."
Kenner leaders and providers -- physicians, nurses, technicians, administrative and ancillary support staffs, and clinic volunteers -- will continue to provide our patients the quality care that is the foundation of Army Medicine. Staff members honor and thank patients for their honorable service and sacrifices made on the battlefield and at home.
Patients deserve the finest care and support the Army can provide.
"My family and I are Army Medicine patients who are happy to get our care at Kenner Army Health Clinic, as we have no doubt they are our health partners providing excellence in care and service; which is just what those who serve our country deserve," said Sgt. Maj. Dave B. Francis, KAHC sergeant major.
As staff members continue to enhance and improve the medical support and services at KAHC, they recognize paying attention to patients' unique needs is key to overall patient satisfaction.
The clinic also encourages beneficiaries to take part in the quarterly Patient and Stakeholder Advisory Council meetings that allow them to have their voices heard, thus encouraging the community viewpoint in the quality of care decision-making process.
KAHC's motto -- "Your Care. Your Trust. Our Mission" -- is demonstrated in the care and services provided to the Army Family.
