PruittHealth Moultrie will receive a Bronze — Commitment to Quality Award from the AHCA/NCAL at the organization’s 73rd Convention and Expo Oct. 9-12 in Nashville, Tenn. It is the only one of three PruittHealth facilities in Moultrie to receive the honor.
“Our PruittHealth family of providers continuously strives for excellence on behalf of our patients and their families, as well as our local communities. I am pleased eight of our skilled nursing centers have proven their dedication to high-quality health care to receive this well-deserved recognition,” said Neil L. Pruitt Jr., chairman and CEO of PruittHealth.
In addition to PruittHealth Moultrie, other recipients of the Bronze award include PruittHealth facilities in Blue Ridge, Fairburn, Fitzgerald, Toccoa and Washington, Ga., Carolina Point, N.C., and Rock Hill, S.C.
