Diamond Doc Award recognizes exceptional patient care

(SACRAMENTO)

On Tuesday, August 3, chief executive officer David Lubarsky, chief administrator Brad Simmons and chief medical officer Doug Kirk presented 52 UC Davis Health physicians with the Diamond Doc Award. The award recognizes the voice of our patients. It celebrates physicians who demonstrated careful listening, clear explanations, and respectful partnerships and who received the 90th percentile or higher in the hospital consumer assessment of health care providers (HCAHP) survey for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2021.

Congratulations to our Diamond Docs!

“This award reflects the voice of the patient and their experiences,” said Dr. Kirk. “Thank you for putting our patients at the center of everything you do. Your care is one of the reasons we have been named Sacramento’s #1 hospital for the last decade.”

Congratulations to our UC Davis Health Diamond Docs!
