Houston Methodist West Hospital received the 2016 Exemplary Five Star Service Award for birth registration by the Texas Department of State Health Services’ Vital Statistics Unit for the sixth consecutive year.

“We are proud and honored to have received this award once again,” said Vicki Brownewell, RN, chief nursing officer at Houston Methodist West. “This recognition reinforces the commitment of our birth registry team to deliver high quality and personalized care to our patients.”

Houston Methodist West Hospital is one of only 10 hospitals in Texas to receive the Exemplary Five Star Service Award. This prestigious award recognizes excellence in timeliness, customer service, certification and training and accuracy in filing birth certificates.
