Hope Award

The Hope Award is a prestigious recognition presented to a provider in acknowledgment of the profound appreciation and commendation from our patients for the exceptional quality of care and service a provider consistently offers. Their consistent near-perfect scores and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients have earned the recipient this esteemed honor.

Each month, our patients at Mind Works provide critical feedback, evaluating various facets of the care they receive, including attributes such as the courtesy and respect with which providers treat them, their ability to communicate in a manner that resonates with them, their attentive and empathetic listening, and, most significantly, the overall quality of care provided. The recipients' remarkable achievement in maintaining near-perfect scores in these categories stands as a testament to dedication and the profound impact made on the patients we serve.
