Paoli Hospital named to third-annual hospital rankings for exceptional consumer loyalty

NRC Consumer Loyalty Award

Paoli Hospital, part of Main Line Health, was named to the third-annual NRC Health Top 100 Consumer Loyalty list, the first and only loyalty-based hospital rankings that recognize the top U.S. health care organizations for earning exceptional loyalty ratings from their patient populations.

Paoli Hospital was selected based on results from NRC Health’s Market Insights survey, the largest database of health care consumer responses in the country. From April 2019 to March 2020, NRC Health surveyed more than 310,000 households in the contiguous U.S. to measure consumer engagement with community health care brands. The winning organizations on the 2020 Consumer Loyalty list achieved remarkably high scores on NRC Health’s Loyalty Index, a composite of seven different critical aspects of consumer loyalty, including Access, Engagement, Experience, and Net Promoter Score. 

“Paoli Hospital and the other hospitals recognized in this year’s Consumer Loyalty Awards are at the forefront of delivering patient-centric care, which is more important than ever in this new normal in healthcare,” said Helen Hrdy, Chief Growth Officer at NRC Health. “We are proud to recognize these industry-leading organizations and the commitments they hold to their patients and improving the complete care journey now and moving forward.”

For nearly four decades, NRC Health has helped health care organizations illuminate and improve the moments that matter most to patients, residents, physicians, nurses, and staff.

“This recognition is a testament to our staff’s dedication to our patients,” says Jim Paradis, President, Paoli Hospital. “To be recognized as one of the top hospitals in the nation for patient loyalty highlights our patient-centered approach to care.”

Winning organizations were publicly announced on Monday, August 24 during the virtual 26th Annual NRC Health Symposium. A complete list of winners can be found on the NRC website.
