"I'm proud of the talented and dedicated people we have, as well as the most advanced outpatient facilities and technology available for our patients and their families."

Top performing physician groups scored in the top 20% of participating groups on performance measures that include clinical quality measures, patient satisfaction measures and use of health information technology that includes supporting clinical decision making and use of systems to assure patients received evidence-based care.
