Shands Healthcare Wins

2008 Governor's Sterling Award

Shands HealthCare, a Crothall Clinical Equipment Sevices customer, received the 2008 Governor's Sterling Award, a prestigious honor that recognizes healthcare systems that stand as a "role model for performance excellence."

Many organizations apply, but do not achieve the honor the first time.” CEO Tim Goldfarb stated, “Throughout the Sterling site visit, examiners commented on how impressed they were with many of Shands' operational processes, and they identified several as best practices in the healthcare industry. Even more importantly, they commented on the sense of pride shown by everyone they met and our passion for patient care.”

Congratulations to Director of Clinical Engineering Gayle Couture and her team for their part in achieving this honor.
