Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Medical Center Receives Awards

PANORAMA CITY, Calif., July 2, 2018 — Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Medical Center has received two Women’s Choice Award® designations as one of “America’s Best Hospitals for Obstetrics,” and “America’s Best Stroke Centers.”

“We are honored to receive these Women’s Choice Awards which exemplify how Kaiser Permanente listens to women,” says Payman Roshan, senior vice president and area manager, Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Medical Center. “The values and experiences of our female patients are a critical component of care and the care of loved ones.”

The Women’s Choice Award® identified “America’s Best Hospitals” across the nation to help women make smart health care choices. The Women’s Choice Award® methodology is based on surveys of tens of thousands of women, as well as research conducted in partnership with the Wharton School of Business on what drives the consumer experience for women versus men.

In addition, the organization distributed a statewide survey to more than 10,000 women who reside in California, who were asked to identify which health insurance plan they would highly recommend to their friends and family. Kaiser Permanente Southern California received its evidence-based designation, “California’s Most Recommended Health Insurance Plan” from these results.

“We pride ourselves on our patient-centered, integrated approach that creates high quality care,” says Julie Miller-Phipps, president of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals, Inc., for the Southern California Region. “It’s gratifying when data supports our approach and show us that our members choose Kaiser Permanente with confidence, knowing that we put their health and safety first.”

According to the Women’s Choice Award®, market research shows that women influence more than 90 percent of family health care decisions; and a national survey conducted by the Women’s Choice Award® determined which hospitals and services women would highly recommend in today’s marketplace. These hospitals had to meet exceptionally high standards regarding women’s unique needs and preferences.
