St. Cloud Hospital Home Care makes national list

ST. CLOUD, Minn. – St. Cloud Hospital Home Care & Hospice recently was named to the 2006 HomeCare Elite, the inaugural compilation of the most successful home care providers in the country.

St. Cloud Hospital Home Care & Hospice was listed among the top 25 percent of Medicare-certified home health care providers. This group is recognized for their quality, improvement and financial performance measures, which placed them in the top tier for the industry.

“We are pleased to be recognized for the hard work and dedication of our Home Care staff,” said St. Cloud Hospital President Craig Broman. “These caring, skilled professionals provide high-quality medical care and emotional support while encouraging independent living.”

HomeCare Elite is the first performance recognition of its kind in the home care industry. It is the result of an effort by OCS, Inc., the leading provider of health care informatics and DecisionHealth, publisher of home care’s most respected independent newsletter Home Health Line.
