Memorial hospital honored as statewide champion

           

Carthage, IL – Monday, April 26, 2021 – Memorial Hospital’s response to joining Telligen to address high priority health issues during COVID-19 and beyond has demonstrated a high level of commitment towards the overall health of our communities. The pandemic has not only highlighted the importance of community members working together, but also how collaboration can drive community-centered health outcome improvement.

For more than four decades, Telligen has assisted multi-sector partners with improving community-wide health and wellness.  Telligen honors Memorial Hospital’s hard work, passion and dedication to providing patients, families, neighbors, and staff with the highest quality of care.  Having the time to bring everyone together, define, and organize collective action can be complex and challenging not only now amidst COVID, but always.  Telligen utilizes tools rooted in evidence, action, measurement, timelines, and celebration towards achievement. Telligen is pleased to present this award in recognition of outstanding activation by Memorial Hospital.
