Mayo Clinic today received a prestigious 2011 Picker Award for Excellence in the Advancement of Patient-Centered Care. The Picker Awards honor premier organizations for recognizing and acting on the acute need to improve the patient’s health care experience as seen ‘through the patient’s eyes.’ The international award was presented by Picker Institute board member Sir Donald Irvine, M.D., and executive director Lucile Hanscom in recognition of Mayo Clinic’s “distinguished history of putting every patient first, and of the respect, dignity and quality care that each patient is afforded.”
