The Pinnacle of Excellence Award® is the highest distinction among the HX Awards, honoring the three highest performing organizations in each award category based on extraordinary achieve-ment. Pinnacle winners have sustained high levels of excellence over a three-year period in patient experience, employee experience, physician engagement, consumer experience or member experience.

According to Chief Operations Officer Jack Hill, earning the 2025 HX Pinnacle of Excellence Award for Patient Experience is a significant honor for the team and demonstrates the deep impact they have on their patients.

“This remarkable achievement is a testament to the extraordinary heart, resilience and dedication of the Outpatient Oncology team,” Hill said. “Your unwavering commitment to compassionate, patient‑ centered care continues to change lives in profound ways. Earning the 2025 HX Pinnacle of Excellence Award reflects not only what you do, but who you are—and we are deeply inspired by the hope, strength and healing you bring to our community every day.”

"We are extremely humbled and pleased to receive this recognition,” Dr. Ashis Chakrabarti, said. “We continue our commitment to provide the best and the most compassionate service by our entire oncology team who earned this esteemed award.

“It's heartwarming to know that our patients appreciate the many thorough facets of care provided by our oncology staff to help them optimize their daily living while successfully dealing with their health challenges,” Dr. Thomas Schmitz, said. “Our staff members could give seminars about how to provide patients with a personalized, reassuring and encouraging health care environment.”

Congratulations on receiving this high honor and serving our patients with compassionate care every day.

Healthier, together.
