UNIVERSITY AREA - When put to the test at the state level, the management and staff at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital and Clinics have validated their worth.

One of the Department of Veterans Affairs biggest health care facilities has been named a recipient of the 2010 Governor's Sterling Award, an honor that for 18 years has acknowledged organizations and businesses throughout Florida that demonstrate excellence.

Officials from Haley, along with Orlando's Florida Hospital and South Miami Hospital, will be on hand to receive the award June 4 in Orlando. It's the first time in the award's history that the recipients all come from the health care industry.

Each of the honorees has gone through a rigorous process of on-site evaluations where Florida Sterling Council-appointed examiners rated them on the basis of knowledge, leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, results and analyses. Employees at all levels were interviewed.

Nancy Reissener, Haley's acting medical center director, is pleased to represent what she considers an outstanding team of colleagues.

"This award is in recognition of the quality of work, professionalism and dedication of the staff at James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital and Clinics," she said. "Our veterans deserve the best care anywhere and I am so proud of our employees who make this happen every day."
Sterling Award winners are meant to serve as role model organizations across the state and their business practices are intended to help other institutions elevate their performance and productivity levels.
