VA Secretary Presents Top Award
To Minneapolis VA Medical Center Secretary of Veterans Affairs James Peake presented the Minneapolis VA Medical Center (VAMC) the Robert W. Carey Trophy Award for performance excellence in a Washington DC ceremony Oct. 31. The annual Carey Trophy Award -- the most prestigious national quality award that VA bestows -- recognizes a VA organization that implements management approaches resulting in high levels of performance and service to the nation’s veterans.
In accepting the award, Minneapolis VAMC Director Steven Kleinglass said the purpose of the medical center’s journey to excellence was to honor patients, “the real heroes of our nation who we so proudly serve.” He added: “While leadership may have had the vision to pursue the Carey journey, it’s really all about our staff who made this a reality. It’s about all of our caregivers at every level of our organization. It’s about our laundry workers and housekeepers. It’s about our police and security staff who keep us safe each day. It’s about all of the other staff who make up the workforce at the medical center.”
The Minneapolis VA Medical Center cared for more than 80,000 unique patients in the last year. Besides the medical center in Minneapolis, the Minneapolis VA Medical Center operates outpatient clinics in Rochester, St. James/Mankato, Maplewood and Hibbing, MN, and Chippewa Falls, Hayward, Rice Lake and Superior, WI.
