Community Benefit Award

2011

Mary Washington Healthcare in Fredericksburg received the 2011 VHHA Community Benefit Award for the Virginia Heart & Vascular Institute Heart Failure Clinic. The program assists heart failure patients with early follow-up care following hospitalization, in-depth education, optimization of medications and close monitoring of the patient's weight. The Clinic has a readmission rate of 1-2 percent, well below the national average of 25 percent. Additionally, the Clinic's success has reduced Mary Washington Hospital's readmission rates from 32 percent to under 25 percent.

Inova Health System was recognized as a 2011 finalist for its InovaCares Clinic for Women and Children.
