ASHEBORO - Randolph Hospital, a comprehensive provider of healthcare to the people of Randolph County and surrounding communities, today announced that it has become Randolph Health.
The new name, Randolph Health, better reflects the evolution that has been taking place throughout the Randolph system over the past several years. There are three main drivers that led to the change. First, healthcare is changing faster than ever before. Technological advancements have created a higher standard of care and the focus on health is just as great as the focus on illness and injury.
Secondly, the community served is changing. The community is more knowledgeable and diverse than ever, which means the needs and expectations of the community has evolved.
The third reason is as the Randolph Health system has evolved over the last 20 years, it has become apparent that the communities served might not fully be aware of the extent of our change.
“We’ve kept up with technological advances. We had nearly 500,000 patient interactions last year and only 40 percent of those occurred on the hospital campus. We have 26 distinct care locations in Randolph County in addition to the services we provide in homes. Sixty percent of our patient interactions take place off this campus. Our commitment is to making sure you have the right care, when you need it and where you need it,” said Steve Eblin, CEO.
Finally, the quality of care provided by physicians and employee team members is higher than it’s ever been. In fact, it’s nationally recognized by several organizations including:
n Medicare’s star rating system for high quality and low cost providers places Randolph in the top 11 percent of health systems in the country
n Premier, an organization with over 3,000 health system members, recognized Randolph as being in the top 6% of its members participating in their QUEST Collaborative for providing High Value Healthcare
“While we’re excited to announce a new name and look, our brand will always be about our people. The physicians and employee team members that create exceptional outcomes and experiences for our patients and their families with every interaction,” said Eblin. “Our brand is a network of care providers connecting with each other, so we can connect with you – this way we are able to ensure Community Connected Care.”
