McCannel Eye Surgery Wins 2025 Press Ganey Human Experience Award!
McCannel Eye Surgery proudly announces we received the 2025 Press Ganey Human Experience (HX) Guardian of Excellence Award® for exceptional patient care.
As a Guardian of Excellence winner, our center ranks in the top 5 percent of healthcare providers in delivering the highest levels of standards in patient experience over the past year. We achieved 95th percentile or higher scores on designated survey measures.
“It was quite a surprise to receive this acknowledgement for the routine and organic care we provide to our patients. It's extremely rewarding to know that each one of us has a positive effect on the organization we represent as a whole,” said Center Director Deb Shea, R.N. “We commonly hear positive remarks on the cohesion and efficiency of our team. Every staff member contributes to the patients’ experience, even those behind the scenes. Placing value on every team member's role and empowering staff will be reflective in the care that is given.”
Shea said the McCannel Eye Surgery team prioritizes strengthening teamwork and personalizing care for their patients.
“Being a small center with limited staff, we all wear many hats (within our scope). Many of us are cross trained into other roles, which enables additional support across all phases of care,” she said. “Making every patient feel welcome through purposeful, friendly introductions and inviting conversation alleviates apprehension and ensures the patient feels confident and valued in the care they receive.”
This prestigious honor is presented by Press Ganey, the global leader in healthcare experience solutions and services. The award is included in Press Ganey’s annual ranking of the top hospital and health systems in the U.S., based on patient and employee experience performance.
