(MARLETTE) — Marlette Regional Hospital was recently recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services as one of eighteen Michigan hospitals that have the cleanest rooms, as reported by patients. Marlette Regional Hospital was recognized because 82% of their patients reported that their room and bathroom was “always” clean. For reference, Michigan’s average rate for patients reporting that their room and bathroom were “always” clean is 69% and the national average is 74%. Hospital CEO Dan Babcock says facility cleanliness is important for reducing hospital-associated infections, and the recognition serves as a great statement to the dedication we have to keep our patients safe and to provide the best healing environment for them.
