Franklin hospital receives foundation award and grant

Franklin Foundation Hospital earned an award and grant for improvement in healthcare delivery identified by the “Pay for Value Fixed Award Program” through the Louisiana Hospital Association Research and Education Foundation.
This program recognizes hospitals that have a strong commitment to quality and patient safety. FFH ranked within the top five of 31 participating hospitals to receive an incentive bonus. Through hard work and positive outcomes, FFH was able to surpass the national goals of reducing patient harm by 40 percent in 10 different areas of care.
For the past two years the Louisiana Hospital Engagement network has been committed to working with all hospitals in reducing harm and improving care, and adding value for the hospitals and communities they serve.
“Our staff is devoted to the mission of our organization, which leads to successful outcomes,” said Lori Leonard, FFH Quality Services director. “This award is an indicator of the professionalism and dedication of each and every staff member at Franklin Foundation Hospital. We achieved great results because our patients are our number one priority.”
FFH is a 22-bed acute care facility featuring a 24-hour emergency room, inpatient/outpatient surgery, obstetrics with nursery, intensive care unit, skilled nursing services, laboratory, outpatient therapy services, radiology services and nutritional services. Physician services are provided in three separate locations: FFH Medical Office Building, Franklin Orthopedics and Baldwin Family Clinic.
FFH’s mission is “to promote and provide quality healthcare services which meet the needs and exceed expectations of our patients and customers in an environment of dignity and respect.”
